AND SOLD IN A FLASH:
Grand Seiko SBGT009
Tungsten Carbide
9F day-date high-accuracy quartz
Limited Edition 269/300

I have just come into possession of a very rare and special Grand Seiko model SBGT009. The most unique aspect of this watch is that, to my knowledge, it is the ONLY Grand Seiko made with near-scratchproof tungsten carbide (which is as heavy as gold and with a hardness just below diamond), and only 300 pieces were ever made in 1998. Tungsten carbide is extremely hard to machine, and I'm surprised Seiko even attempted to make this then.

The watch is equipped with Seiko's legendary 9F83 day-date quartz movement (the date wheel is interchangeable from English to Japanese). The bezel is made of tungsten carbide, while the case and bracelet is made of stainless steel, and as you can see in the pictures with a watch of this age, there is some wear and scratches on the case, crystal and bracelet, but no major dings or dents. Notably, in comparison to the sapphire crystal, the tungsten carbide bezel is mint. The caseback is engraved with the year of release in 1998 and is number 269. The dial is a very nice subtle off-white textured pattern that changes depending on the angle and lighting conditions, with gold hands and indices. Classic 38mm case size, 20mm bracelet. Full disclosure: due to age, it may be due for servicing.

The watch comes with the COMPLETE SET of boxes and papers, including burlwood box, manual, tags, and paperwork, as well as extra links. In addition, this is actually the second SBGT009 in my possession, so I can include an additional SBGT009 bracelet FREE that I am not using (the links can be used for those with extra thick wrists), as I have replaced mine with another bracelet.
