Today I picked up this lovely and capable watch. The Grand-Seiko SBGC251G spring drive GMT chronograph titanium from the evolution 9 series.

Since acquiring the SLGA015 Diver 5 day I have been enamored with GS titanium E9 models. They feel absolutely incredible on the wrist.

This watch also features a sapphire bezel, crystal and case back. The 50 jewel spring drive movement is a site to behold as well. Fantastic watch and glad I aquired this one.

Congratulations Wayne! Love that lumed bezel

Are the indices glowing in a different color than the bezel numerals and hands?

The GMT hand and bezel markers are the same color. Kinda cool I think.

Thank you all. It is truly is a amazing piece. I don't know if it's the large dial or just my camera, but it looks big in photos. But in real life or in a mirror it looks perfectly fine with plenty of wrist on either side of the lugs. It's a strange phenomenon that I can't get my mind around in the difference in appearance.

Anyway, I love this impressive masterpiece from Grand-Seiko.

Congratulations. Great looking watch. Enjoy Wayne.

I put a silicon strap on it last night to cut the lug to lug measurements down about 3mm. Also I like the look the strap gives on this piece.

Looks good Wayne.
