I was fortunate enough to pick up one of the SLGH009s when they were available. The specs are 100% what drew me to that watch. Really glad they are doing a non limited edition with a nearly identical build, cause it’s an amazing timepiece. And yes, the 44GS looks so much better on a canvas/leather strap.
I am so excited about getting one. My moderate collection includes a Cartier Galbee (fancy), a Tissot PRX (Everyday), a Longines Master Collection (formal), and now hopefully a Grand Seiko for pure class. It's been my dream watch for years. Absolutely love the concept behind the watch and the engineering genius.
Being a owner of the SBGR251 it still amazes me how they can produce this level of finishing to every small detail on such a sleek 37mm case. And that 9S65A movement with it's 72h of power reserve is one of the most elegant workhorses on the market. All of this carefully handmade luxury for a fraction of the cost of a Rolex DJ. Why people still covets them so much is beyond me. Learn about watched for real instead and join us who truly love them.
Great review... You forgot to mention that it is not Stainless Steel but Everbrillant steel which is more corrosion resistant and harder... Hence more difficult to polish. Agree with you, they got it all right with this one!!!
@@diavalus You're insinuating that Ever Brilliant Steel is "just" a marketing term, rather than a factual improvement to common steel. Of course it is technically a marketing term. Same thing like Oystersteel. Like what do you expect them to do? Call it by its exact molecular comoposition 🤣.
Everyone's talking about the macro, honestly my jaw dropped at 2:43 when the dial catches the light juuust right and it looked less like a dial but more like a window to some snow outside
The most impressive part of this watch is the movement. 36000 and 80. Those are ridiculous numbers. Mr Hands, I don’t know wth all that technical talk about the movement means, but I absolutely enjoy it. Please continue to include these discussions in the videos when possible.
It's beautiful but unfortunately not very accurate. I own a white birch and it was 23 seconds / day too fast. After 2 months service in Japan it's still 13 seconds too fast. Many owners of watches with this movement experience the same thing (there's a long thread about this issue on watchuseek).
@@MTCBKK Lots of brands experiencing issues with their covid era movement releases these days, you'll see the same with Omega and Zenith too. I'm sure they'll all get it down eventually.
@@rousseau327 I see, I haven't heard anything from other brands. Strangely enough, my SBGP017 High accuracy Quartz Grand Seiko is less accurate than my other, older GS 9F Quartz watches. It should be the other way around.
If I were to be incredibly picky, the only thing I feel that they could improve is the spacing between GS and Grand Seiko, as they are too close together. That's it.
Hi beat, no power reserve, and your mellow voiceover, as smooth as Zaratsu polish as well informed as a sort of Horological Gandalf....Magic watch, magic video.
I thought dial texture is much like a SRPH78J1, if going purely on dial. Seiko will definitely need to do much better differentiating GS from its base watches
Grand Seiko is a watch you never thought you would own in your collection but, once you have one, it’s a watch you never thought you would owned more than one.
They just need to give this watch the dial of the SBGH295, or at least the option. Virtual grail material for many. I handled the 295 and let me tell you, that dial speaks!
The movement finishing is not quite to the level of the next tier JL, ALS, AB reside. The movement advancement and engineering is more impressive than the next tier. First the Spring Drive and now this. Absolutely amazing. I just wish this watch and Spring Drive watches come in 43/45 lug to lug form factor. Can't wait until the large watch trend gives way to many more unisex sizes.
It's fairly close to JLC movements in the same price range. Whatever it lacks in movement finishing compared to similarly priced JLCs, it makes up for in the dial and the case imo
Love what Grand Seiko is doing! They are always coming out with unique styles unlike rolex with the same boring design and snobby ADs. Thank God I never bought a Rolex and discovered the wonders of Grand Seiko!
They don't look nice to me, I don't feel quality (especially on bracelets, considering their price tag), they don't hold value.. I have a feeling that bloggers around the world just got some money about GS to advertise them.
Return it for a service. I've had Rolexes that run that fast when they shouldn't too, it's not a brand thing, all brands have faulty movements from time to time.
@@rousseau327 I did.. waited 2 months while Seiko worked on it.. the Hi-Beat movement is known for this issue, it's not always repairable sadly. I sold the watch.
@@Sams911 if it was under warranty still then fortunately in Australia they are legally obliged to give your money back or replace it if it does not live up to manufacturer’s performance claims.
I love GS, I have one, but I’ve heard some uncomfortable inaccuracy stories about the 9SA5 movement. However, the 32xx movements of a famous Swiss company are also reportedly a bit, ahem, lemony. And a correction to your text: you said -3/+3 spd accuracy when it’s -3/+5.
True, this is a great watch. But the best of all they have? Dial is mostly a winner, I’m happy with the date at 3 o’clock but would rather have it at 6. The dial texture is amazing, no other word for it! Handset is another mostly winner, I’d rather have some lume. Case is definitely a winner, and is one of my favourites. The movement though? Give me a spring-drive, dump the power reserve and, with the suggestions mentioned above, I’d sell a kidney to but the watch! Keep up the great work, guys, and keep well :-)
I have 1971 chronometer KS 5246-6010 with 28K beats, extremely accurate and highly collectible beautiful piece even 50 years later, this new grand seiko is the future classic as well. 36K beats is a bit too high which is affecting the watch to be worn out much faster, so King Seiko slowed it down from KS 45 with 36K beats to 28K in later KS 52, 46 and so on. Though I like that it is slightly larger with 40mm rather than mine 35/36 mm KS 52. Thanx for the video!
I like the 9SA5-movement a lot and was about to buy either a White Birch or a Grey Birch. I heard a lot, however, about issues with the daily rates of this movement. It seems that it tends to run fast. I vividly recall the opera Omega had adopting the Co-Axial-movement some 20 years ago and it seems the Japanese take on this, the Dual-Impulse-movement has the same issues. That was the reason why I settled for the SBGH273 Shubun with the more pedestrian 9S85-movement. Hi Beat and a stunning accuracy of around 1 s/d.
OMG, mate, that's legit my dilemma. I'm so torn between the SBGH273 and the SLGH013. I think the dial on the SBGH273 is actually nicer than the SLGH013, but I absolutely adore the 9sa5 movement. Decisions, decisions...
i just bought the SBGP017 ''Sea of Clouds'' i have the same quality better dial best accuracy with new in house 9F85 + - 5 secs per year...with less of money :)
There is no point buying a GS at the price being retailed nowadays that is not a spring drive movement, that’s what gs is and what no other watchmaker can do. However nice this watch is, there is a line out the door of brands with similar movement at similar price that is far more collectible and retain their value better.
Hope one day they might consider doing a dateless model though - as that for me would just about be "end game" perfect!...and then the only other issue would be.... finding the outstanding balance of £7750 to make it minel 😂
Check out "the citizen" citizens answer to grand seiko, their caliber 0100 is accurate to 1 second a year, and other models accurate to 5 seconds a year, similar to grand seikos 9f quartz, but with solar. they even have a mechanism that adjusts the seconds hand always keeping it perfectly aligned. they havent "arrived" yet like GS but it looks like theyre really working on it.
In person the dial and polished finish is unbelievable, I don’t know how they do it when higher up companies can’t or won’t do. The price tag is the only reason I haven’t bought one, can’t justify spending 9k for a watch that will prob lose value when I can spend the same on Rolex and already have my watch up 50% higher at the very least..
GS on another level... but to me, to make the purchase purchase it needs to have the spring drive movement which is another marvel of watch making in the past century... for hi beat movements you can go many places in Europe, for a spring drive you can only go to japan.
Another great video. I love the GS brand, especially the Spring Drive movement. Do you think that they will this watch with the spring drive movement in it, that would be my dream watch.
I love grand seiko, and I own 2 of them, and those 2 being my most expensive pieces in my collection. That being said, they are really beating the same design to death here. They have thousands of different models, all with such slight differences that they all start to look alike. It really takes away from any exclusivity a limited run might have, because there's some other model 90% similar that's easier to get. They had a banger with that recent heartbeat movement but seiko fundamentally began as everyman watch and shook the industry with their innovations. I don't want to feel like that era is over
I'm not sure about it taking away exclusivity that limited runs have. Sure, not all of their "limited" runs stick, but you'll see a good number of them retain their desirability and value. To name a few, we have watches like the SBGJ227 Peacock, SBGH267 Whirlpool, The SBGH269 Autumn, SBGA387 Kirazuri, SLGA007 Lake Suwa, and there are a few Asia-only limited editions (Thailand in particular comes to mind) like the SBGY021/SBGY025 that you likely won't come across often at all unless GS decides to expand the release to other markets In my opinion, you cannot have both exclusivity and accessibility, at least not across the board, all the time. So, if you love the fact that you don't have to play AD waiting games or pay out the ass at 2-3x retail for a plain jane entry level watch (of the brand), then you need to expect there to be some redundancy, to improve accessibility to these some of these designs.
Nice review and I love GS, but a bit over the top. "Three major revolutions that have ever happened to a watch" then say the High Beat is the third, is definitely hyperbole. I would put the Spring Drive ahead of it and likely many others from other brands as well.
I’m selling my date just chocolate dial for the slgh013 the only thing that I don’t like about them are the bracelets and clasps but they are getting better all the time , thanks
Now i think about it, they already made the watch i wanted, the Kira zuris, with stunning dials on a 44gs case with spring drive. And they somehow avoid puting a snowflake dial on a 44gs case... i wonder why.
Hi Tate, could just as easy ask why isn't this $14K. All that fit and finish and escapement tech come at a price. Would be wonderful if this was same $$$ as a Black Bay, I could almost afford it, but I guess it's asking too much☹
@@Jordandagostino Wow, that's embarrassing 😳. Thanks for pointing it out, Jordon. I'd delete the comment, but hey won't be last mistake I make, probably not last one today🙂

When you think "the frame on the date window has a little bit of a rough finish...nope, that's just the mirror reflection of the dial texture."
