Case wise i believe they are both of very fine quality.

The movement of the patek is of a different caliber.

Both have a 72 hour power reserve which I find very satisfying.

Finally when all is said and done, Among the most important qualities a timepiece can have is balance ... in this comparison my opinion is this grand seiko design is nearly perfect in its balance, size and function .
Love that strap on the SBGW253. I just ordered one from Camille Fournet that will look similar to yours. The OEM strap isn’t great at all.
