I’ve been googling the serial number meanings of GS and I learned a watch I bought for my wife was made in 2023. 2 years seems like a bit of time between when the watch was produced and when it was sold (I bought it from the GS online boutique for reference). I am curious what the first number is of the serial numbers are of your GS watches?

Hello fellow GS enthusiasts. Over the years, I have owned and enjoyed several GS references, including quartz, spring drive and high beat. Due to my local Rolex AD calling me about a DJ41, I reworked my collection, currently have zero Grand Seikos, a…

Well, it happened finally! I can’t read my beloved GS SBGJ001 with my naked eyes any more! With my eyeglasses, it’s kinda Okey! The thing is, I don’t use my glasses 24/7! Possible solutions (as I can’t live without a screw-down crown):

Hi, all
Continue readingI’m testing the waters for a nice 9F with a white dial, and so far I’ve narrowed it down to:
- SBGX347
- SBGX295
- SBGX259
It looks like the 259 and 295 are the same watch, except that the 259 comes on a bracelet and the other one comes on a strap. If I’m not mistaken, the 295 has a subtle concentric circle texture on the dial, but I don’t know if the 259 has that.
Also, If I order the 295 from abroad, I think the strap would be subject to import restrictions, so…
Grand Seiko – rookie advice
Hi all – I am relatively new to the wide, dazzling world of Grand Seiko. So I appreciate in advance your tolerance of pedantic questions that are probably best answered by “it depends on what you like” and “go with what looks good to you.”
I am about …
