Hey folks

Up for grabs I have the most bang for buck watch, let alone Grand Seiko, money can buy.

The SBCG201 “Triple Nipple” has yet to be dethroned as Grand Seiko's most complex movement featuring a vertical clutch column wheel chronograph, true GMT, date, Spring Drive, power reserve, and robust water resistance.

The chronograph hands are a tempered blue and offer a brilliant light play for impeccable low light legibility when paired with the Zaratsu polished hour/minute handset

The watch itself, from case to bracelet is in immaculate condition and at 43.5mm has a deceivingly small footprint on wrist.

If elegance and functionality were ever at odds with each other, the Grand Seiko designers did away with such a notion by determining the ideal distance between the tip of the seconds hand and the 1/5th marker on the dial – 0.15mm

A misconception I myself fell victim to was the size of the Chronograph pushers impacting wearability, and I can attest that the case geometry keeps the pushers off the wrist, preventing them from digging into the wrist when worn, much the way the Panerai crown guards are unobtrusive on the Luminor cases.

The pushers also feature a minute yet impactful detail allowing a half push in preparation of a timing event, providing greater accuracy once the pusher is depressed for the event timing; an unnecessary yet respectable inclusion.

The kit is complete save for the warranty card, which is non essential at this point given the watch would be out of warranty period.


The watch retains its inherent Spring Drive accuracy, runs, winds, sets and resets like it should and per Seiko/Grand Seiko dimensions wears smaller than its numbers, on paper, dictate.

The SBGC201 has a retail price of $10,200 and rightly so given the complications showcased, yet I’m asking $6666 f2f GTA for this rather special timepiece.

Let’s try an accessible, 6250 with shipping included or $6200 in the GTA.
This a power house with 4 complications for the cheapest it’s ever been on the forum.

I’ve paired this with a blue ostrich Delugs strap and must say it’s even more wearable than it already was on the oem bracelet.

I’ll include the ostrich leather in the package at my current asking price.IMG_4993.jpeg
