Incoming! Grand Seiko Four Seasons Hi Beat SBGH271

I was out windows shopping a few weeks ago and popped into the Grand Seiko Boutique. After trying some things on my wife floored me by pulling out the credit card and saying “we’re taking this one”.

The wait is over and I was allowed to open it last night. My first Grand Seiko Hi Beat. The green textured dial is Perry stealthy when not in bright light. The gold hands pop. The 62GS case is INCREDIBLE. The bezelless design is fantastic.

I tried to capture the beauty but as typical for Grand Seiko this is difficult.

Also! It has a silvered metallic date wheel like the MM300 rather than the standard white date. It’s a very nice touch.

Congrats!

I'm also considering this or another from the seasons collection. No way for me to try on here in Europe so would have to buy unseen but worried about not liking the thickness..

This is a fair concern. You kind of have to accept it’s 2-3 thicker than optimal or just move on.
