Owner review: Grand Seiko SLGH005
Yet another exiting reference number from Grand Seiko, thankfully this model has got another name, the “white birch”. Even tough I can see the birch forest in the dial maybe it’s a bit to silvery to be named the “White birch”. Let’s not get stuck in the whole name thing. When the Grand Seiko SLGH005…

Owner review: Grand Seiko SBGE245
Before getting to my Grand Seiko SBGE245 review, a bit of the back story. After knocking the bezel of my mahoosive 17mm tall SBDB001 again, I decided it was time to consolidate a couple of my Seiko into a Grand Seiko to cover all bases. Great excuse right! The SBDB001 has a Spring Drive GMT…

Owner review: Grand Seiko SBGN011
Before I get to my review of the Grand Seiko SBGN011 it is important to know that at the time of writing, I’ve been in the watch game for 8 years. By now, it’s safe to say that I know a thing or two about going down the rabbit hole that is watch collecting. Throughout…

Like many, my obsession was spiralling out of control and my appetite for buying more watches grew by the day, I started consciously putting some roadblocks to prevent myself from acquiring new timepieces. At the time, Grand Seiko had been taking the…

Owner Review: Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA211
As a newbie tentatively taking his first steps into the world of watches about two years ago, as soon as I saw, read and heard about the Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA211, I felt the need to own one almost immediately. And while that desire had been immediate, it took me months of reflection to understand…

Grand Seiko SBGM221 GMT Review
OK, let me start with my biases. I’m a three-hand guy. Not really, of course, though as a watch addict that would be pretty great. What I mean is that I love simple watches. I have a few divers and chronos but what I really love is a perfect no-date three hander. If I’m going…

Owner Review: Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA011
The Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA011 (and the current model SBGA211) is one of the brands most iconic modern models. This model is most famous for its dial which has texture like that of the fresh granular windswept snow that falls on the mountains of Shinsu, along with the Zaratsu polishing that all Grand Seiko are…
