·For sale here is a Grand Seiko Champaign Dial Spring Drive Ref. SBGA083 with Box and Paper.
This is the earlier double logo model, which I like better, and is the most accessible Spring Drive on the market. To me, this is a very special GS Spring Drive due to 3 reasons:
1. It is the smallest SD, very friendly to people with smaller wrists. Most of the SD watches are quite large and thick. The measurements of this watch vs the Snowflake are as follows:
2. It's super versatile. In my opinion and experiences, GS watches are often pretty difficult to pair with different straps due to their exotic dial textures and special case finish, shape, and also the thickness. Yet this model goes really well with all colors of leather straps and even NATO, because of its dial color and somewhat "normal" case shape. It's so easy to dress it up or down, making it a great everyday watch.
Please note that the leather and NATO straps is not included in the package. The watch will come with the original bracelet with full links.
3. It won't lose its charm with some beat up. One of the biggest problem I have with GS is that I don't think they'll age well. If the biggest charm is the exquisite case finish, then they won't look good when the Zaratsu polish is all scratched up, and the facets and razor sharp edges were worn out. This model does not have this problem again due to it's understated dial and case. It's charm are in the overall balanced design and the light play of the dial, which will stand better with the test of time.
