Grand Seiko is addictive once you handle one of them … ❤❤

That GS isn't the cherry blossom dial. That would be the titanium SBGA413 [From the GS site] "The SBGA509, which pays tribute to the sunrise over Lake Suwa with its dusty rose hue". There's only 300 of those.

Saw an ad for the watch RR showed. The dial is different than the limited titanium. That watch is spectacular. Not really in the premium market. I would buy that watch.

@@thereissomecoolstuff The limited watch here is stainless steel. The cherry blossom / Shunbun is titanium. There is also a different pink dial that isn't either of these The 41mm SBGA497. Which IS titanium. GS can be confusing with all their different variations that look somewhat similar.

@ I know what you are explaining. It’s about the texture of the dial etc. Rob gets good lighting and lense work in his videos. The big titanium is the watch I would go for. Thanks for the reply. It’s tough to pull the trigger when the secondary market is so tough on GS.

Correct, I covered that in the full video.

Acquiring the matching bracelet is mostly for the resale value. But straps are superior for comfort and use. So, buy the bracelet, and pick up the factory leather/rubber strap a la carte. I always buy the matching bracelet, but do pick up aftermarket leather and rubber straps for each watch to broaden its appeal. It's like having 3 watches in one. Now I have more straps and aftermarket bracelets than watches! LOL! But it's fun to swap them up and create new looks. Can rekindle the connection to a watch in your collection that hasn't seen much wrist time.

I have the SBGA509 - great timekeeping, comfortable bracelet and awesome dial...to me, it's more of a copper penny color, especially outside. I get more questions about the GS than any other watches worn by watch guys when out and about.

I appreciate the proliferation of the different pink hues , but IMO… the Shunbun is still the one that rules them all in subtle brilliance…

I always have loved GS, especially the movement. But never picked up one... still waiting until they update their clasp. thanks Rob

According to the Tudor website, the crown is SS capped with 0.3mm of yellow gold, no specification on the type of gold, 10K, 14K, etc. The bezel is also 0.3mm capped. There are, according to the website, 117 Tudor Black Bay variations. Something for nearly everyone I suppose.

I just put that exact leather strap and claps on my Black Bay chrono, the price from the Tudor dealer was $491, that ain´t cheap and the quality isn´t that great for a leather strap, it just feels like layered leather with the top layer feeling a little paper like on the edges.
