I have been waiting for a Grand Seiko that I really fell in love with. Well this is it. Limited edition to 1000 pieces. I don’t really care about that part as much as I love how they changed the bracelet and increased the power reserve. This thing is truly beautiful. Model number SLGH003.

Fantastic piece, congratulations

The new hi-beat movement is a real winner. Changes the entire feel of the watch on wrist and after 10 days mine is still only -2 seconds

Congrats! This thing is worth the premium I’d say. Sounds like a few owners here already, enjoy all
How about the beefy bracelet. I thinks it’s 2mm wider.

Nice! Congrats

The caseback is incredibly beautifully designed and craftsmanship is outstanding. The movement was completely designed from the ground up. Gotta hand it to GS for producing best-in-class movements.

What's new on the bracelet?

Congrats! It’s a beautiful piece. It’s obviously a sports watch, but I do wonder if it could be dressed up on a leather strap given the slimmer profile of the case with the new movement.

Love everything about it except the 80hr line.... Minor quirk and wouldn't have stopped me completely if I didn't have the original 60th anniversary. Amazing shot congrats.

I think it’s one of the better looking ones. This exact piece with a snowflake dial would be pretty outstanding also.

Mine went 11 seconds fast in the first 24 hours. Let’s see how it balances out over the week.

As soon as I saw this one at the Miami AD I knew this was the GS for me. I love the new bracelet compared to the other ones. I also like this movement over the spring drive. The dial speaks for itself obviously.

That’s one of the main reasons why I got it. I like this bracelet better than all the rest.

The bracelet has changed quite a bit. Only pictures can show you what I mean. For now I can just tell you it’s a little wider. But it also has different looking links. Check out the pictures and compare them. I like this bracelet.

I intend to wear this with my suits. I have blue cufflinks, shirts and ties that will go nicely with this dial.

It doesn’t bother me. Kind of neat actually.

Definitely my favorite. Like I said earlier this would be cool with a snowflake dial as well.

Art and I were at Orlando Watch Co in Winter Park today - they have this watch in several styles !
Absolutely beautiful “in the metal”!
