Incoming SBGX261

Tried one of these little beauties on the other day. Have been thinking about it ever since. All the enablers on this thread have me in a weak state. So today at lunch I just "happened " to be in the area of my AD. (20 mile detour)

Yep, looked at it. It was handed to me and of course I started seeing stars, got weak in the knees. The only hope was to pull my wallet out and leave with it.

So I did. Love this smaller size for work, lighter and thinner than my other GS. As I mentioned in other post, GS's are definitely addictive. Love the quality, accuracy and looks. Can't help but to love them!

Reminds me of the 126200 I got last year, except no bubble on the crystal and this one keeps excellent time! Oh, and no groveling.

Thanks everyone. I didn't realize I had greasy finger prints all over it when I took the photos. Sorry.

It sure sits pretty on the wrist, Thin with a nice flat case back. Very comfortable.

Such a simple and clean design. That's the way a watch should look. No long unnecessary writing on the lower dial. Congrats!

Thanks everyone! I am REALLY enjoying the Grand Seikos. I can't explain it, But have connected with this brand far more than any other brand I have ever had. And there has been A LOT of other brands.

Maybe the looks, or maybe the workmanship, or the accuracy, It could be just the feel of them that say REAL quality and value.
Most likely a combination of all these things. But I have 3 now and all this month alone. I have never done that before.

I have a real "trust" for the brand that I will receive perfection for my money and not feel like I had over payed. Don't worry that I will have problems down the road with the watch. I very comfortable and satisfying feeling.
