    Hello OF! This was my favorite release at Baselworld by Seiko. Saw it in the boutique yesterday and fell in love. This is the limited edition for the 20th anniversary of the 9S caliber. I know Seikos aren't for everyone, but I hope you guys enjoy these photos. The markings on the dial are the classic G and S as well as the daini logo where the 9S was designed (as almost all other GS calibers).

    Me too! Some of the vintage GS are also really cool.

    Thank you! I never thought I'd enjoy a GS dial as much as the snowflake SBGA011. But this reference has the dial, hands, markers, case to match ... all what you have come to expect from GS. Details like the orthogonal ridges in the hour markers and brushed/polished edges of the hands are all there. It's one of those watches that looks better and better the closer you look!

    Thanks my friend, in the metal it's more dynamic. The hues change and I think that's what really sold me on it.

    Also I'm really comfortable with the grand seiko thickness. These watches are 13mm and many people can't do that. For me they wear really nicely, especially on the superb bracelets (another contentious point for some).

    Well I would expect it to be a Suwa logo on the dial since Suwa started Grand Seiko, and King Seiko was was Daini's baby. Very jealous of your purchase, enjoy it in great health.

    You would be right if this was a GS anniversary edition, but the SBGH267 is actually in celebration of the 9S series movements developed in 1998 (20th anniversary) at the Daini group.

    Thanks for the kind words as well!
