Incoming Grand Seiko SBGJ237 GMT
I read about this watch last week in the Fratello newsletter. The next day I was at my Rolex AD and saw this watch and tried it on. I was amazed at how nice it was. For the last week it has been stuck in my head and I went back to look again today. I couldn’t walk out without it. This is an awesome watch. I can’t stop looking at it. It lights up in the sun. It wears a lot smaller than I thought. It fits me well and is very comfortable.
I’ll try to get some better photos later. This is my first Seiko of any kind, let alone Grand Seiko. I might have to thin the stable after this but I think it was worth it.

Heavy hitter for sure. You can’t go wrong with a GS GMT!

Thx. I’m a bit of an outlier. I have 8” wrists. I’m 6’8, 375 lbs with size 17 (USA) feet. So I’m kind of a giant and can tolerate larger watches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Beautiful watch - quick question - is the case behind the bracelet inbetween the lugs polished like the green version? Im interested in getting the blue one but want to put it on a strap like you and would be bothered if it was dull on the inside, similar to the Tudor GMT. Thanks

Any long term update? I am about to pull the trigger on one of these. I purchased a Seiko SLA037 during the shut down and fell in love. Apparently the SLA037 has a lot of Grand Seiko characteristics. Everything I’ve read about the SBGJ237 is super positive.
