Grand Seiko sunburst--looking for info
I've admired Grand Seikos for some time without taking the plunge. However, the other day while out of town I saw a deep-blue sunburst dial version at a dealer and was absolutely smitten. Unfortunately, I didn't get details. Googling around, it looks like it might have been a 62gs or SBGA 105?
I don't know much about Grand Seikos. What are the differences between the two, and what price range might be expected for a pre-owned? (Though, looking through sites such as DSW, Takuya, chrono24, watchrecon, it doesn't seem like there are many on the market.) Thanks for any help. |

My guess is that it is the SBGV239J. Look it up it’s awesome. It’s with their quartz 9F movement in the 44GS case. It’s the quartz GS that I want

Thanks, but I like mechanical watches. The one I saw had the little power reserve meter.

That is an absolutely amazing watch.
I’m loving the power reserve , and the spring drive movement! |

It’s probably the SBGA375. I tried one on at a dealer in November and the seller told me to take it to look at it in the sunlight and I was blown away. My wife bought it for me for Christmas and I love it. It looks black in low light but the hands and markers are so highly polished it’s very legible.
I’ve seen some in the for sale forum for around $4k. Retail is $5200 I think. Most grand Seiko dealers will offer you some discount. It’s a gorgeous watch and I like how GS matches the date wheel on their stock models and dislike how the date wheel doesn’t match on the limited editions. That’s the main reason I chose the SBGA375 over the ice blue GS USA limited model. |

I like the GS models with ornate dials. I tried this one on at a watch show in NYC last year.
