FS: Grand Seiko SBGA493 Katana LE (500pc) Red Dial - Full AD Kit BNIB Unworn - MSRP

I don't need two, but I am willing to pass this along to someone who missed out. Watch is brand new, full AD kit, unworn, and comes with dated warranty card.

“A limited edition of 500 inspired by the forge used to make the katana, SBGA493 uses a unique dial pattern within a series of three U.S.-exclusive models inspired by the iconic sword. Polishing the katana requires handcraft of tremendous skill and dexterity, and the same can be said of crafting Grand Seiko watches using the Zaratsu polishing method, particularly the 44GS case design, which established the Grand Seiko style in 1967.

SBGA493 expresses the determination and fiery spirit needed to craft the blade. The deep red color with yellow gold-tone accents is influenced by the heated blade during the forging process. The pattern emulates the radiating sparks created when the hammer strikes the blade.”

Diameter 40.0mm
Lug-to-lug 46.2mm
Thickness 12.5mm
Case 44GS
Caliber no.: 9R65
Movement Type: Spring Drive
Power reserve: Approx. 72 hours(3 days)

Price: $6,000 (MSRP) + Shipping Label. No sales tax! Zelle or wire.

Smooth and easy transaction with sgtiger

Just had a smooth dealing with sgtiger. He's very experienced in trading and knew exactly what he wanted/what he was looking at. Made the deal super easy with a quick payment and me reciprocating with shipping the watch to him the next day. Would recommend him for future dealings here …

Highly Recommend Sgtiger

Made my first forum purchase this week of a Milgauss. Sgtiger walked me through all the steps and gave me the piece of mind that he was a trustworthy seller. I highly recommend Sgtiger and would do business with him again. His communication and responsiveness was amazing.

sgtiger is the best buyer I've experienced thus far on WUS

I sold two relatively expensive pieces to sgtiger, who paid promptly, asked for several additional photos to make sure all was well. Once we got past the formal stage, sgtiger and I entered into a long conversation about our love of watches, horology, etc., and found we had very similar …

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
