The Grand Seiko GMT SBGM221

[@jasonsmith1143]

50 years from now will still look GOOD and classic

[@-JohnGalt-]

Congrats on a fantastic purchase. This is one of my favorite GS's. You can't beat the dial color, blue'd GMT hand, and incredible hour markers and hands. Stunning combo.

[@TheGridMedia]

The watch, the music, your narration of why you love it, sold me, purchased! Everyone told me get a Rolex, but I'm in love with the passion the Japanese put into these watches. I'm not buying a badge I'm buying what I love and this watch is one of them.

[@GeorgeFrideric71]

This is one of those rare watches that would be worth just beholding in the flesh, even if you could never actually own it.

[@ronancollett5270]

Grand Seiko refers to this colour as ivory, others call it cream, you call it butter... I call it MY HEART BURSTING INTO A THOUSAND PIECES.

Hahahaa

[@DANIELMcCOY01]

I have owned this watch for just over a year and found myself not to wear it as often over the past few months. Seeing the strap you have chosen on yours has made me love it so much more. Great video, thank you.

[@BaddogSports]

Bought one of these a couple of weeks ago, and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I constantly look at the dial, and never even notice the time. Just an amazing timepiece! Went right to the top of my rotation!

[@sxc5rhcp]

Every time I see this watch I marvel at its beauty , refinement, and simplicity. This watch is already a classic.

[@karlomcastro]

This is my one and only GS. I agree with you... this is just breathtaking! Also, like you, I immediately changed straps and kept the croc stap with deployant buckle in the box. I'm a Rolex guy and I also own an Omega that is very dear to me. But this SBGM221 is becoming my favorite piece. Great work btw. Keep it coming!

[@camelia411]

I use it for fine dressing with the croc strap

[@karlomcastro]

@@camelia411... You are absolutely correct. The croc strap with the deployant is more appropriate for dressing up. I rarely wear a suit though so a tan (or any shade of brown) and sometimes a grey calf skin strap work better for me. Cheers!

[@romanrudenko8760]

@@karlomcastro hi. what can you tell about the accuracy of this watch?

[@karlomcastro]

@@romanrudenko8760... Hello! I was actually pleasantly surprised. I was expecting "just" GS advertised accuracy of -3/+5 sec/day. I've owned by SBGM221 for just about 3 months now so the sample size is quite small but it's going less than +2sec a day. Cheers!

[@Pete...NoNotThatOne]

SBGM021 was my first GS, it’s one of the only watches I always keep running, because I know I’ll be wearing it at least once a week (others are Speedy and PADI Turtle). It really suits just about any occasion, and I will never get tired of it.

[@tracephoto1823]

I can’t stop watching this video. The lighting is just perfect for this creme brûlée dial. That lacquer is just….fine, it’s buttery. Happy?! This is just a must have.

[@evh4611]

Grand Seiko is really climbing up the high horology ladder. Popularity is growing rapidly

[@vincentferreira1135]

They have been on that ladder for a long time now. They’re older than Rolex, use 100% in house movements, have been the entire time, they are better finished and, I think, better quality than Rolex. They were the reason for the Quartz crisis. They dominated the watch world for a long time. I think they’re securely on that ladder. They just need to market better. That’s the only reason 99% of people have heard of Rolex and most people wouldn’t know Grand Seiko from any other brand.

[@leyay7540]

There're some underrated models in the GS lineup before they go upmarket and this is one of them. Congrats on your great choice and wear it in good health!

[@randalljenks7564]

This is one of the most beautiful watches I have seen. Definitely on my grail list now.

[@ZachBie]

It was on sale when I visited Japan for $3,500. Still out of my budget but I still kind of regret not buying it haha

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Legend has it that it's still out of your budget.

[@mt24Carson]

Excellent choice, congrats. Wear in good health for many years. I looked at this one as well before deciding on the SBGN 005. There was quite a bit of back-and forth on both, contented in the end. 👍⌚🇯🇵

[@straightmanforever69]

I have never gotten errect from a watch before... Until now, I need this watch, I'm getting this watch!

[@mrjohnsonfong]

After watching this video, you inspired me to purchase this very beautiful Grand Seiko GMT. I am following your steps. Thank you very much.

[@DanielBengtsson]

Probably the most beautiful watch video I have ever seen. You are good!

[@ihopetowin]

I'm after this watch. It is beautiful and it's time to add a GS to my collection. Very fine video.

[@Johnny3514]

I was planning on an Omega Globemaster blue or Glashütte SeaQ blue. Suddenly, after watching this outstanding review with some really striking footage, I bought a Grand Seiko sbgm221… It really is a beauty, thanks!

[@RecicledCanadian]

What a gorgeous looking watch. Thanks for sharing your experience with this masterpiece.

[@larvancioramos9748]

OMG!!! The most beautiful time piece i saw!!!

[@musungumat]

I love the watch it's absolutely stunning but I really have to congratulate you on the video mate, simply brilliant. Well done dude 👍👌

[@LuckySharmsHer]

First video of yours I've seen, very good work, love it when the videos hit on all the points us enthusiasts want to know, and just present the watch in all its beautiful angles 👍👍

[@MrZB-ie8zv]

An excellent video and an excellent watch... The comment was extraordinary....

[@ihopetowin]

This is a watch I've handled a few times. As far as I'm concerned it is the most appealing watch GS make irrespective of price. Must be seen and held to be fully appreciated.

[@LambGiles]

You always put together a great video - I even check daily to see if there's a new one out !! Nice one ...

[@YoureTerrific]

giles lamb Thank you. You should just set up a notification to tell you about new videos.

[@saeeduzzamanmalik182]

I love this Seiko, I am thinking this week to buy it, just searched on Amazon last night.

[@threehander]

The ivory dial is beyond stunning.

[@IszyIzzy]

THAT IS A GORGEOUS TIMEPIECE.

[@foesfly3047]

I enjoyed the perspectives you shared here. Very interesting. I'd like to own this one as a weekend casual recreation wear. Blue jeans, Italian Wholecut shoes and a nicer button down shirt would go well with it IMHO.

[@craig2100]

Beautiful watch, thanks for sharing

[@MrBacchus18]

I am blown away by the looks of this watch. I want to eventually get one for myself. Wish it had a bracelet but I'd buy it just for the dial.

[@amitjain3067]

Brilliant review. I have seen it so many times. The perspective , the visuals etc are all quite wonderful. I have ordered this piece for viewing and possible purchase . Quite excited . As you have mentioned in the review a bit philosophically that watch collecting is as much a journey inward as anything else . Feels so true for me , never thought I would go beyond the usual or the sports models that called me to watches at first place . Perhaps it also a bit of maturing with age - don’t know , dress watches is my new fascination . Thank you for this brilliant review and associated presentation

[@ianross04]

Wow... such a fantastic video. You sir, have done this beautiful timepiece proud. This video is by far, the best out there. After watching this, it is now at the top of my list! Thank you!

[@cafeneu]

Im in love with the way you are presenting this timepiece. Just perfect

[@longo1023]

Absolutely amazing video, photography, music and smooth delivery of all your reviews. Keep them coming!

Great high-quality review, and a stunning timepiece from GS

[@ArtBorow]

IMHO most beautiful watch ever made (also PP 2526).

[@GeorgioTheChef]

brilliant dialogue. brilliant camera work. brilliant watch.

[@vincentferreira1135]

This is my favorite GS ever. I wanted to buy one when I got home from my deployment, I even tried one in their Manhattan boutique. I couldn’t justify spending the money at the time because I had to pay off some debts and I might need to start saving for one of these now.

[@Vow247]

Gorgeous watch and a brilliant review.

[@aimeeg11]

Just for anyone who may be interested. I am a woman with a 6in wrist and have been hoping to find a GMT that fits me. This watch wears much smaller than it is. It's 39.5mm and wears like a 36mm in my opinion. Again, just wanted to put this out there for people in similar situations like me: small wrist, really looking for a GMT.

[@planetdee3587]

Really nice looking watch. One thing I like about Seiko is they put a bit of GS styling in many of their lower costing models. As I watch this video, I pull out my Sarb035 and just admire how nice it looks. The closest watch I have to a GS.

[@TimeAndCrown]

Amazing watch and super review. I’m looking into making the Snowflake my first GS.

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

This on an olive green leather strap is perfection.

[@Longshore79]

What a stunning watch . Grand Seikos polishing is top notch

[@satvik1162]

love your videos , so beautifully captured and always take me for a ride .

[@jussil5762]

Just got mine last week from Chrono24. Beautiful watch and the strap is the softest I have ever touched in my life. My first GS is Skyflake and I thought they could not make a better looking watch. I was wrong.

[@thirumurthi]

Nice review and thanks for sharing your views. Your strap selection adds to the beauty of this piece. Thanks

[@canonyeo4286]

Excellent video. That's the same reasons i like GS. I have 5 GS GMT, with the 9S, 9R, and 9F Movements, one with chronograph functions. Cheers!🤩

[@longnetter]

Stunning a work of art.

[@dmantziaras]

Wonderful watch... and perfect video, thank you very much indeed. I believe that this watch deserves to be made also with the SPRINGDRIVE movement...!!! It has one of the CALMEST dials, so it deserves the CALMEST movement of the world, the SPRINGDRIVE.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

Would be a shame to have quartz in such a beautifully crafted timepiece

[@gmartirosyan]

I rarely say this: this watch is GORGEOUS!

[@larryducie6719]

Reminds me of the SBGA293. Another beautiful watch with an ivory dial from GS. I’d go the Spring Drive model over this one. But it’s close!

Did I see a HMT at the beginning? When I was a kid, I tore down my father's HMT automatic and didn't know how to put it back. He loved it but didn't say anything and encouraged my curiosity. I miss him and the watch.

[@soonyanaidu7875]

Yeah it looked like Janta. My father had one of the earlier ones. He had to pay and wait for it before he got it. There used to be waiting lists!😏 I have a Pilot.

[@allthestroke88]

This is such a beautiful watch. It's just such a shame they couldn't give it a decent water resistance. And why Grand Seiko does 19mm/21mm lugs is beyond me.

[@anotherwatch]

Great watch; great review. Love Grand Seikos. I have the SBGE211G. My only moan is the lack of lume. However, one cannot fault the design, the looks and the tech.

[@WatchGeek]

Wonderful video 👍

[@markdance574]

Thank god somebody else other than me is saying “ buy what you like not the brand everyone thinks you should buy “ Good job 👍

[@trevorsheldonvids]

I would just like to thank you. After watching the video over and over again after wanting a Grand Seiko for years and because of your video I have now just bought one. However my wife doesn't want to thank you LMAO LOL. Oh well I will still thank you as I just love the watch. I love the strap you chose too so if anyone does have a direct link to the Honco strap site where I can buy one please respond. I am also going to have various other straps too so rather than choose which watch to wear each week/month it will be which strap as that butter dial does allow for many colours to work. Blue Aligator, Green, Sand, brown and many others. The reason I now have to buy other straps is because the YourTerrific video has now used up my entire watch budget LOL. Thank you : )

[@tomscott4438]

My local AD is not going to be an AD after January 1 so he has one of these available at 30% off. I wasn't actually in the market, but that price is so tempting I just might get in the market. At $4,600 it's a great watch, at this price it's also an outstanding value.

[@DutchClawz]

Grand seiko is such a refreshing feel on the wrist.

Which one is more beautiful;The watch or your video?cant decide.

[@kerpal321]

looks stunning

[@tracephoto1823]

Considering the context you set forward in the beginning of this video and also that it’s been 2 years since this review, it might be interesting to create video revisiting past reviews & opinions to see how they may have changed and developed over time. Just a thought.

[@snoozrr]

Wow. Fantastic video and narrative. I often buy watches that I think will get comments from others, and I think that for some watches that is fine (it's okay for a man to want a trophy- R.I.P. Carl Ruiz). I need to stop thinking about that so much and start understanding more what I actually enjoy about the piece.
