Either a SLA037 or a SLGA001... Probably the zero zero one because I am enamored with that NEW redesigned Spring Drive Caliber.



But that zero three seven is getting harder to find already... choices choices.

I have an sbp153 incoming over the next few days. Looking forward to that.

Tried the sbge255 on yesterday and absolutely loved it. Left without it, but it’s a contender. Wears thinner than the stated thickness measurements (14.7mm) would suggest due to the rounded caseback, and has some adjustability in the clap, which is a win.

I need to look at one. If I like it enough I may trade the SBGN003 in for one. Eyeing the blue right now.

What an awesome pair!

Would still like a SLA025 - 1968 (birth year) re-issue with hi-beat movement.

I'm still looking for something bronze too - but know Seiko don't have anything in their line-up.
Arrived today

Looking to add the SBGP107 to the Grand Seiko collection. Have a high beat and a spring drive. Fancy completing the trilogy!

I had the opportunity to try on the Captain Willard today (thanks to a fellow forum member). There is not one photo of it that convinces me that I would like it, but I'll be damned if it's not fantastic in person.

Enjoy it!

Looks like a nice case height too. Does it feel closer to the wrist ?

It’s 14.4mm tall. But it hugs the wrist well.

If I had the spare cash it would be a SBGM221G without doubt.
