Powered by the advanced Caliber 9SA5, this timepiece boasts a high-beat rate of 36,000 vph and a remarkable 80-hour power reserve, achieved through Dual Impulse Escapement and twin barrels.

love this watch

[@ryanelectra225]

It’s a beauty. Would have been a contender when I was shopping and got my SBGH295 Soko from you.

本当に綺麗なグランドセイコーだと思います！

[@expertreviews1112]

Very nice as always... Just a note on crystal size, with crystals mostly domed and especially having a thicker border/boundary, it makes watch wear smaller than the size 33mm in this case would indicate... like this one here... Also if the dial contrasts more, this effect increases like the green and night birches... some more with similar effects are Rikka, SBGY009, SBGJ271, SBGW293, SBGE271SBGJ219 to name a few.. . Evo9s don't have it as pronounced tho... Thought I'd share this small little detail with fellow watch nerds, but it makes a world of difference on how the watch wears Compare for eg 44GS SBGY009 and SBGA375, 375's crystal goes lacks a thick boundary making it wear substantially larger... so effective crystal size on SBGY009 is just between 30-31mm

Did you say Godzilla!? I am still waiting very patiently.

Got mine, everyone thinks it's a rolex :/

Don't get me wrong, I love GS and own the Lake Suwa 009. But why do they never change their (no lumen) hour markers, date window, and hands so all their watches look boring. Now I know why most people prefer Rolex over GS even when some GS models are better than a Rolex counterpart.
