Beautiful but I’ve been struggling with the size of my sbgk005 (have the bracelet also). Just wears too big for how much vacant space is on the dial. For dress watches I think 37mm and under is the sweet spot for my 17cm wrist. Hopefully GS will bring out some more sbgw231 variations with slimmer cases

Love the idea of a thin manual wind spring drive, but in all honesty I’m not convinced on the SBGY cases. The cushion case design makes it appear somewhat larger than even their 40mm Elegance models. Would love if they managed to fit this movement into something like a thinner variant of their 37mm SBGW cases.

@MinuteMon Жыл бұрын

Ooof I completely agree. The case is a little too cushion-y compared to what I personally prefer like the 44GS, 62GS cases. It would be amazing to see this in a more angular case.

Not all the SBGY series watches have the same case shape; the flatter 44GS case on the 009 and 011 do not appear as if they would match the 9-link bracelet presented here.

@hsheuw Жыл бұрын

If you pay close to attention to 4:10-4:15, it's plenty obvious that this watch floats rather than stays planted on his wrist. What gives then? This will be somewhat fidgety to wear and won't stay in place all that well. GS has many newer models which heavily emphasize its LOW center of gravity. This and Sbgy007 don't come advertised with such feature so go figure here! Heck, I am immediately put off considering it after seeing my Rolex OP36 just stays planted better on my wrist. 😂

@MinuteMon Жыл бұрын

Good eye! No, I've never put that clip up anywhere besides here since its not the "official" Grand Seiko bracelet for the SBGY case. If you're interested, the reference for that Beads of Rice bracelet is A00A211J9 / J0 which originally came from the SBGT241, but just keep in mind it is not a perfect one to one fit and requires slight modification like bending the spring bar to properly fit. If you want the bracelet that fits properly, then you would just order the same 9-link steel bracelet from SBGY013.

Regarding subscribing - while this was a great video, as was your Santos vid, when I look through uploads and see only shorts it makes me hesitate. Last "long" video was 2 months ago! That said, I think shorts are a plague upon society and especially KZfaq so I'm biased!

@MinuteMon Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your feedback Max. I’ve been enjoying making Shorts if I’m being honest. I run an Authorized Retailer shop full time on top of making FREE videos on watches so I don’t always have the time to produce longer form content. You’ll see a lot of business owners make short form content too. Shorts have given me an opportunity to show fun or short stories that don’t require more than a minute of your time Ie - Grand Seiko’s Blue Sticker Mystery, why is the time always 10:10 , Halloween watches, Dive bezel ASMR comparisons etc. Appreciate your feedback, Shorts are here to stay and you’ll see more of it on KZfaq not just from me but other creators. I’m making a schedule to produce more long form videos consistently so hopefully that’s enough for you and others who feel the same to sub. ✌🏼
