FS: Grand Seiko SBGH001 Hi Beat

Offering for sale today a Grand Seiko Hi Beat SBGH001. With the 9S85 movement, the watch runs at 36000 bph and has an exceptionally smooth sweeping action that's a joy to see. The watch comes with papers, manual and extra links, but no box. There is a small blemish on one of the bracelet links that could easily be polished out. The quality easily rivals any Rolex I've handled or owned, with extremely detailed finishing. The display caseback was hard to get a good shot of, but the Tokyo stripes are elegant and austere at the same time. Purchased from a senior member earlier in the year, I'm thinning the collection a bit.

Offered at $4900 CDN. A FTF deal in GTA is preferred, but will discuss shipping with potential buyers.
Please PM me for additional pictures or with any questions. Please excuse the cell-phone shots.

Thanks for looking.
p.s. the english translations of the Japanese text in the manual are a marvel of awkward literalism (or the lack of funds for a professional translator).
"Take your watch softly
Hear the watch ticking
Tick tack, tick tack, tick, tack
Soft and faint, but grave sound will be heard"

Withdrawing the watch because, when you start getting sympathy notes (not actual offers) from other members you know it's time to pack up what's left of your dignity and move on.
Thanks
