Grand Seiko SBGV005
Just got this new model. It's my first GS and I went quartz with it...
Already have too many automatics, and wanted a quality quartz in my collection. At 40 mm, with a nice dial and the blued seconds hand, it was an easy choice. |

Beautiful. I love it!
Would you say that the fit and finish is on par with Rolex, Omega, etc..? It sure looks like it. I really want a GS quartz and hi-beat in my collection. |

Fantastic watch choice. I can stare at my SBGX061 all day long. I love how the date fills the entire aperture; the number just looks so nice in there.

Thank you all for your comments!
I'm very happy with it, and the quality is what I was expecting. Impeccable finish and everything looks and feels top class. I cannot compare it with a Rolex since I don't own one, but if I compare it with my Panerai or IWC I would definitely put them in the same class. From now on, I won't be using the phone to put in time my mechanical watches! |

Your GS looks great next to your Pam. The GS is one of the most under the radar watches out there. If I saw somebody with a GS, I'd think to myself "That guy knows his watches!"

When a GS needs to be serviced, I assume that it has to be sent to Japan? I can't imagine any watchmakers (outside of Japan) working on GS given its tiny presence around the world.

Precisely because of that I chose to buy a quartz model instead of a mechanical. I live in South America and there is nowhere in the region to have it serviced. Changing a quartz battery will be a different story! :)

This is a lovely watch. The stock pictures on the Seiko's site simply do not do it justice, but your photos really bring the design to life. Enjoy it!

On my list-but an automatic model in my case.
Great watches that are true world-class in every regard. |
