Grand Seiko Search Help!

Hey TRF,

I’m looking to upgrade my current SBGN003 to a mechanical, high beat, or spring drive. The problem is that I want something that isn’t too dressy and is more of a GADA. I would prefer the following criteria (which is what makes my search difficult):

-under $5k used
-40mm or less
-under 14mm thick
-darker dial colors (blue, brown, black, etc)
-interesting dial pattern OR a secondary color on the dial (like the orange on my 003)

A few models I’ve liked but don’t check all the boxes are:
SBGH267 and 273 - a bit over budget
SBGR311 - too big
SBGM027 - too thick
SBGJ013 - too thick

Any thoughts or suggestions??

I really like the SBGA375; I think you may be able to find it used/grey mkt for under 5k USD.

SBGR311 reads big (42) but wears like a 40, IMHO.
