Thank you for the excellent review. I really love the look of this Grand Seiko. Can one do bracelet switches or does the lug integration make that impossible?
hi Jeffrey - thanks so much for the kind words. Bracelet switching is extremely simple with this - no lug integration issues here. I'm actually wearing this on a blue diver rubber from #watchgecko
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Kasen Tony thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Thanks for sharing Mr A that is a really great watch and very good review, you mentioned you ordered from Grand Seiko Japan directly, are you in North America? Did you pay duty taxes? How was it delivered UPS? FedEX? DHL? Sorry for many questions but I also want to import one here in BC Canada. Keep making more videos! Cheers, Giuseppe
Hey Giuseppe! Thanks for the comment and glad to know you liked the video. I did not order this from Grand Seiko but through a retailer located over in Japan - Sakura Watches (sakurawatches.com/) and the price is listed there with the duty information as well. Stick around - I know I haven't uploaded in a while but it's because I have some great contents coming along with improved camera work!
Looking at the black version, but my hesitation is the clasp. It looks engineered from the 60's; unnecessary bulk and thoughtless complexity. Ratchet dive extensions are so superfluous. The case and dial is such a looker! I'm have an offer I'm entertaining for $2K for SBGX337 in B grade condition. Any thoughts?
you bring up really great points here - the clasp, definitely sits on the bulkier side for sure. However, it is very functional and gets the job done well. Your offer seems good - I've spoken with my reps here in State's side and I did hear that you "can" send it in if you decided to for the Zaratsu touch ups so the B grade condition should be fine. Hope this helps!
agreed, i have a grand seiko 9f gmt, its clasp is really nice and thin but no microadjustment, i had a seamster professional before and the clasp on it was about perfect.
@@ambroseathello SBGJ237 is a great watch. The 2 are different models with very different base (HAQ vs high-beat) but I can tell you that you can't go wrong with either one!
unless i'm mistaken, there is no titanium version specifically for this watch. However, I know there are the titanium variants out there from GS as well on their divers ex. SBGA231 - another wonderful piece from GS
Wow...that's a cool looking watch bro! Thanks for sharing the info Mr.A
thank you sir - hope the info helped!
Great watch and review love me some grand Seiko I have two of them
I just your watches! Great pieces!

@@MrAnotherWatchTime That is great to hear. What do you think would give you greater satisfaction, your quartz Grand Seiko or a Tudor Black Bay 41?

Prefer the black version
The black version, including the limited edition is definitely nice as well!
Nice one Mr. A
thank you spicychicken! more good things coming ahead!!

What is your wrist size ?
The watch looks a bit too big on your wrist, no offence intended.
No worries - none taken!
The watch is a full 43mm in size and you are right, it does sit a little big on my 6.5inch wrist!
How is this holding up for you long term? Any scratches on the DLC bezel?
Great question! I did have about 2-3 scratches show up but it's part of the charm, nothing bad -
My grail watch
it's definitely a great watch! i hope it will find it's way to you in the near future
@@MrAnotherWatchTime can't decide between this and sbgj237 gmt.

@@MrAnotherWatchTime if you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost in taxes to have this piece imported from japan?

Love the dial, but its heavy, any chance they have it in all Titanium grade 5 with diashield
