Love the dial. As always with a GS, gorgeous execution! I would love to see the "9" on the dial too, but that's just personal preferences...congratulations and I'm sure I don't need to encourage you to enjoy it, LOL.

 

Thanks guys!

 

That's a beautiful watch. I like the dial texturing and the stylizing numerals at 12 and 6. Congrats on your Grand Seiko!

Watch is class.

 

Beautiful, congrats.

 

Sort of a looks like a more "relaxed" GS model, a nice departure from the very serious looking dials most seem to have. Enjoy your new piece, thx for the pics

 

A beauty!
Congratulations and enjoy it!

P.S.: is it steel or titanium?

 

Thanks again everyone. Sunny morning here! Shtora, the watch is steel not titanium. It's 38mm across without the crown but it wears bigger (probably a function of the case design). Just before this purchase I did manage to get the sbgf011. That one has the 3,6,9,12 numerals without the date and a wonderful blue dial. I'll post pics later Gilbert! Have a great weekend everyone!

Oh please do, I'd love to see them!

 

those hands look lethal.

 

Stunning GS:-!

Simply stunning!

Enjoy!

 

Never seen this model yet. Stunning!

 

I've never really been a fan of dress watches but that is delicious !

 

Very Nice! Never seen that one before either. I like the '12' and '6' and the blue seconds hands. Sharp!

 

Thank you everyone! Here are a few more pics I've taken including the sbgf011 as promised. The font, hands and dial design is different but I think these are meant to be slightly more casual sporty offerings. The sbgx111 is not a regular production model but a store special for Wako. It's just released 7th November and limited to 60 pieces. And although it has a striped dial, it's again different to the sbgh023 (released July last year as a store special and limited to 35 pieces) which I posted pics of earlier. It's really difficult to describe but the dial appears to have a patterned bottom layer and an intermediate layer of very very thin clear acrylic or something laid over. Can't be acrylic I guess because it's not reflective but I hope it conveys the idea. Then the numerals are applied on this layer with the printing. So the effect is that the numerals and printing appear to be floating off the patterned dial. I do apologise but this is the best description I can muster. Cheers everyone and have a great week ahead!

Very nice. Wear in good health!

Eventually, I'll add a GS to my stable.

 

Thanks Iol. I would love to hear your thoughts when you do add a gs to your stable. Cheers!

 

I love how the sbgx second hand is shaped and lines up perfectly with the markers. It calms my OCD.

 

I'm really pleased with that too. This is the second sbgx i ordered and both are pretty much spot on with the markers. The sbgx091 which i got a while back (early july i think) has kept time to the dot. No deviation at all! Not a single second in all these months!:-!

 

OK, guys...that's enough, move along...nothing to see here. Let's close this thread up by request of my bank account. Thanks!

My wife wants me to sell my motorcycle and I'm actually considering it...if I do, I'm totally taking 2k of that money and getting a GS quartz something or other.

 

Great looking watch! and nice quality pics, thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks Mechanic1908. Very kind. I'm glad the pics turned out ok. Anyway I'm going to enrol myself in that "no watch for a (very long) while" club Gilbert! Cheers everyone!
