Grand Seiko Twin?
The GS 9F had become an interest of mine. An interest but not yet fully committed to making that purchase given I scooped up a Rolex 1999 Explorer ii. But I happen to come across this Seiko, functionality wise its oceans apart but I can’t help to notice the look almost identical.
It was much easier for me to scoop this up for $100 then the GS, lol... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would say 'vaguely similar' rather than 'almost identical'.
Looks good though

They both tell time, have numerals on their bezels and have metal bracelets, but that’s as far as I would go with the comparison.
Anyway, that doesn’t take anything away from your watch. Congrats and enjoy. |

Congrats on your new watch Superbri22. As for twins, maybe it’s just the brochure photo against your wrist shot photo but the Grand Seiko looks pretty crispy and on top of his game, and yours, although it looks great, just not a twin maybe : )
I want to see that GS on your wrist and then you can tell me they’re twins Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think it may be the SBGN003. (but not certain) The one below, I think, has a blue dial but I cant be sure SBG005
This one looks similar SBGN 003 but with a more orange GMT hand. I love this review, it may have just tipped me over the edge.

After a lot of looking I found one from Bruce and should have it on Wednesday. I paid a premium unfortunately but there’s zero out there or what is some of the prices were too high. I’ll post when I get it. Can’t wait.
