Grand Seiko SBGW001 JDM Market with Rare GS Bracelet
Grand Seiko SBGW001 JDM Market with Rare GS WAKO Bracelet
Proving simple is often the best, the SBGW series is Grand Seiko personified. The SBGW001 was the first in the series, and was a Japanese domestic market only release in the early 2000's. Nothing extraneous, and proportionally perfect to our eyes, it's perhaps our very favourite modern GS.
Featuring a slim and svelte 37.4mm case, which is 11.4mm thick in part due to the use of the heavily domed sapphire crystal, so appears much thinner on the wrist as the case itself is well under that. Within this case lies an off-white, verging on cream, dial which is double-signed as Seiko/Grand Seiko. It features applied, Zaratsu polished indices, paired with typically sharp GS Dauphine hands, and all combines to give the perfect mix of vintage looks with modern usability.
Powering it is the manual wind 9S54 movement (which has the most satisfying click). This example is completed with fitment of the rare Wako bracelet, which suits it to a tee, and further solidifies its claim to being the perfect daily-dress GS.
This particular example was sold in 2009 and presents in TZ 'Good' condition. The case shows some scratches and light scuffs, with the reason for the 'Good' grading rather than the 'Excellent' grading according to the TZ scale due to a small nick on side of the lower right lug, and a few small pin dents on the left side of the case. Case back shows minor scratches. Please see images for full condition details.
The bracelet shows minor desk dive marks, and will fit up to a 7.4in wrist with one spare link included. Shows minor desk dive marks.
Comes with outer box, inner box, instruction booklet, inspection certificate, handbook, warranty papers (expired), and spare link.
Lovely example of one of our absolute favourite GS'.
