Wow, who needs a Grand Seiko with a watch like this? If it feels as good as it looks, its a winner!! Thank you for the heads up. A good match for my Tudor GMT.

Just picked up the 140th anniversary blue/white today. Had the AD take the bracelet off (I dislike bracelets) and throw on a navy leather Hirsch strap. Looks fantastic!

This watch is awesome. I purchased the SPB217 about a month ago and cannot take this watch off my wrist. The only downside for me is the bracelet. However, this watch is a budget Grand Seiko SPGE255 without the spring drive movement (of course). I totally recommend this watch Rob!

It's a nice watch. Pretty good value. Sub-dial date register is very cool and very nice feature to jump that hour hand while the watch keeps time like the GS GMT's. Only 1 micro adjust is a minor niggle. Signed crown looks great.

Hi Rob, I have the black dial/bezel version and it's stunning, dare I say real grand seiko vibes, but at a much lower price, I got 20% off when I ordered mine. The movement is great I'm getting -2 seconds a day. My only criticism would be the date wheel is tricky to read, its small and is often partially obscured by the hands..but no watch is perfect..this gets 9 out of 10 from me...

They're a great looking watch, these ones. It was about time Seiko found another use for this movement, I reckon. I've had the SBEJ003 Landmaster, which uses it also, since 2018...and it's a cracking big watch! Chunky, but titanium light. Sapphire and Zaratsu polished, as well....but it also has a screw-down crown. The only thing I don't care for is the date dial. It's just too small for my ageing eyes, and is time consuming to change. Nice styling, though.

@jasonriccoboni59312 жыл бұрын
Love this watch, and would own one right now if not for the size. @ 42mm with a 49mm L2L, and protruding center links brining that total to over 50mm...."small wrists need not apply here". Of course this is not something that I am ever surprised with when it comes to Seiko, they tend to lean towards the larger market when it comes to their watches. Few things I would have like to see done differently; 100m WR should be accompanies with a screw down crown IMO, I would like to see a lumed seconds hand, and 1 micro...why bother?? Though with the half links I'm sure not a deal breaker. Absolutely gorgeous watch though.

I like the fact this is a true traveler's GMT. However, I wish it was a tad smaller/slimmer. Size wise, it's better wearing for a larger case size compared to Swatch groups similar offerings from Hamilton and Mido. But, more of as might for me, I don't care for the date wheel at 6. I would prefer a retrograde date which I know they can modify the movement to be a retrograde display instead. They've done it on some of their other leave models before. Idk, maybe this try GMT movement might make a difference and cannot modify it. I think that would balance the dial a little betterment and match the power reserve "sweep across" look if they could.

Jumping hour watch has hour shown in aperture and it changes instantly, this is an "independent hour hand" or "time zone switch". Otherwise if you call this "jumping hour" then every watch is a "jumping minute watch"...

I like the dial color, but not the stiletto hands. Also, I can't tell if it's just paranoia from bad experiences with other misaligned bezels with Seiko, but to me the 10, 11 and 1 all look misaligned to the left. It's nice, but it's not a $1400 watch, either.

You top this watch by buying a G shock with a second world time zone which most have. $1,400 is a good budget for a high end G shock that could last a lifetime. These Seiko's & Grand Seiko's are gorgeous although from a distance they look like an old school watch. Nothing special unless you know watches.
