I just don't understand the phrase this is not a watch you wear day in day out? And why is that exactly?

Hi Steve great video and I share your opinion on the SBGN013, I want to make the purchase but am worried about the fit as my 7.5inch wrist, I usually wear a 40mm but this GS watch has a slight cushion case making the sapphire smaller? They do a 42mm Automatic GS was the other Grand Seiko you briefly showed in the video a 42mm? how do they compare in the metal?

I own a Marvelight which imho is the best alternative to a Rolex date just. Same steel, same look, solid build. I just picked up this one in the blue and black bezel, and im waiting for it to arrive.

Those aren't "in house" movements btw

Gorgeous watch mate. I've been looking at this in the pilot how you finding the lug to lug now you've had it a while still happy out? I've skinny wrists think this will be a good buy maybe on a strap looking at the pepsi dial.

I love it. I almost went with this one recently although I purchased the SBGN019. That model is no longer offered in the US. Always wear a watch ‘below’ the ulna wrist bone (not above).

Nice and informative, thanks! 🙏 Herbelin; still a family owned French watch company 👏

What's your wrist size? Thank you for this video comparison

Michel Herbelin is such an underrated brand, had a Cap Camarat, the quality for the price is top tier.

Awesome watch

do end user still need to replace a battery in this watches?

sucha nice watch but the brand is very under rated

I have a blue Tissot PRX, but these green dial integrated bracelets are incredibly good looking. Can't go wrong wrong with sellita

Did this man who runs a watch enthusiast KZbin channel just say deployment instead of deployant?

hello any problems with the pushers sticking quite far out on the left? e.g. with sleeves?

Lol should have asked about the odyssey, by far one of their best watches, unfortunately don't think they're allowed to make it anymore owing to AP and PP

Very nice watch, besides unboxing and showing it around it would have been nice to show how it works, is it a true GMT? Show how the crown and pushers work. I believe from what I saw that the bezel lum outshines the dial lum.

Just gorgeous!

What is your wrist size please, because I love the watch but the size😬🙁

Have you still got the watch and whats your thoughts after a year of ownership, im thinking of getting one. Cheers

Gorgeous. I have this one on the way this week!

Hi Steve. I am considering buying a GS 9f quartz watch and specifically the GMT SBGN013 or the SBGP003, with the 44GS design and the slightly more "luxury" bracelet. As an watch expert, what would you advise me?

Looks bigger than 40mm.

Cool watch

Thoughts? Considering this watch but looks to be too much lug to lug for a 6.5” wrist

i live in india in bro can i buy this watch?

👍

I paid little bit over the odds for my brand new SARB017 because I detest see through case back and that massive X upon the dial os the newer models that you have there.. I paid £769 for my SARB017 the only alpinist I put over it is THE LAUREL ALPINIST SCVF009 4S15-6000..... Which is a high beat red alpinist green dial mag lens on date solid case back... 💯

This is Why my Recent Purchase of U~Boat Piece happened, its Unique fingerprint "...

Nice!

any reason no Lume shot ?

There is something odd going on with tick marks- this watch has 5 of them between hour indices, makes 72 minutes per hour :), Vanguard has 3 tick marks which makes 48 minute hour, Vanguard II has 4 tick marks, which is right, Marine Pilot has 5 between hour marks. Unfortunately Ball has sometimes forgot funcion over design. Damn, I was considering Marine GMT but now I cannot unsee this oddity. :(

QUESTION: the day and date changes with the hour marker or with the gmt marker when both are at different time?

Congratulations!!! beautiful

I'm well impressed with this review. I saw these in a local jewellers and was keen to learn more. Your guest was excellent.

Stunning watch my friend

Beautiful piece! Great choice! I love Ball watches!

That’s a beautiful watch love the green bezel. I know it is cheesy but this reminds me of the Green Hornet colors.

I have a Pepsi version of this, the only issue is it’s very easy to accidentally hit the gmt pushers all the time.

That watch is beautiful. I just saw a picture and needed to see a hands on review of it. I'm sold!

This is an older model which must be sent back to the factory for a battery change. The newer ones have a battery hatch compartment which is isolated from the oil; you can easily change the battery by yourself.

Lug to lug?

Such an interesting watch. Definitely planning on adding this to my collection in the near future!

you can make a video about replacing the battery?

I have the Ball Hydrocarbon Original 43' in black and it is a superb watch, ball are excellent quality on a par with Rolex, Omega, Tudor etc

5,000Gs? GangGang

Wow very intresting

Nice pice ,nice video

I can't justify spending over $700 for a Seiko Alpinist. That is not a $700 watch. Sure, it's a good little watch. No doubt about it. What a great looking watch too. But, I'm not dishing out more than $499 for that watch. Not happening.

This doesn't have a inhouse movement. But is certainly a lovely piece
