·Grand Seikos were always an interesting brand but never interesting enough for me to buy. I understood the interesting spring drive movement. There were some interesting finishes. But overall, the design was too similar to other dress watches for me.
Then the SBGK005 came out and it just struck a chord. Asymmetric dial. Manual wind. And this super thin case with a bubble crystal. Just absurdly interesting.
So here we are. My first Grand Seiko. Cheers.

That is a gorgeous piece. I’m going to have to look harder at Grand Seiko. So far I’ve been infatuated by their divers.

Congrats! I tried one on at an AD a few weeks ago and it's just stunning. It's also way above my budget, but maybe one day...

·Grand Seiko Automatic GMT SBGM221 with Box and Papers
$3,150
Compared some prices on the web, $3150 appears to be good price. HQMilton for the Seiko fans.

If this were on bracelet, i might have considered it. I like my GS on bracelet.

·These are the Seikos that are not buried in my closet and are in my rotation. By my latest count I have 3 Seiko SKX put away, 2 Seiko Turtles, 1 PADi solar, and 1 Seiko Astron Chronograph. My 1970’s Seiko 5 lost it’s crown and is with the others, and I traded my Seiko with “deep blue” style dial and now regret that.
These are also in my rotation - 3 bottles of Yamazaki 12 yr, 3 bottles of Hibiki, 2 bottles of the Hakushu 12 yr, 2 bottles of Nika Coffey grain, 2 bottles of Iwai, and 2 bottles of Toki. I gave my Kimiki to my son since the cedar smoke reminded him of his visit to Japan’s shrines in January.
Whenever I open a bottle I'll usually buy a spare right away so that I don’t have to ration it by being afraid of running out, since Japanese whisky got to be a bit hard to find in the past year. But then as I expanded into more types of Japanese whiskey it meant having at least 2 bottles of everything until it got out of control.
I only have 1 bottle of Glenlivet and Dalwhinnie since they’re so easy to find, along with a Glenlivet and Glenmorangie sampler box. It’s the easiest way to get my son to come home from college for a visit, by sharing the whiskey, not the watches.
