The SBGR061 is a watch that manages to touch on both the past and present of Grand Seiko as a whole. The simple elegant dial layout is reminiscent of the very early Grand Seikos starting in 1960, but then you get the dual Seiko and Grand Seiko signature which speaks to the last decade or so as the company transitioned within the US market. Add in the cream/ivory dial and an automatic movement (AWESOME at this price point) and this one’s pretty hard to beat! REF: SBGR061 SERIAL: 3N0XXX DATE: 2015 DIAL: Gorgeous cream colored dial in fantastic condition. Goes from off-white to almost butterscotch depending on the light, add in the pop of blue on the seconds hand and, not surprisingly given it’s a Grand Seiko, you get a dial that just demands some stare time! CASE: 39.5mm stainless case with that renowned Zaratsu polishing is a thing of beauty. It wears perfectly (photographed on my 6.6 inch wrist) with sapphire caseback, and only very light wear mostly seen on the highly polished sides. CRYSTAL: Sapphire crystal presents beautifully. MOVEMENT: Awesome to get an automatic Grand Seiko at this price point, and the cal 9S65A is a GS staple! Service history unknown but winding and setting perfectly, including the quickset date and timegrapher is showing 10 seconds a day and an amplitude of 277. STRAPS: Comes on a brand new handmade pebbled leather strap in this really cool olive color that looks dynamite with the cream dial! The strap has been fitted with the original GS deployant clasp. ACCESSORIES: Comes with inner and outer boxes, manual booklet, Grand Seiko serialized certificate, the serialized paper receipt, and the cleaning cloth - beautiful set! PRICE: $2395 which will include 2 day fully insured shipping through FedEx anywhere in the US. Face-to-face in the Los Angeles area is always possible, with a small discount offered. PAYMENT: Venmo friends & family, Zelle, or Wise Sale only, no trades thanks TIMESTAMP: https://imgur.com/a/2n3eua1 RETURNS: No returns unless misrepresented, and it absolutely will not be.
