Hi folks
Up today I have one of the most overlooked, yet comfortable divers I’ve had the chance of owning.
The SBGA231 comes in a titanium case/bracelet but unlike it’s other titanium brethren, has a familiar weight (steel) and incomprehensible comfort to boot.
The watch has comparisons drawn to a submariner, and though there are a few similarities (it’s a dive watch), the 231 is a piece unto itself.
The bracelet has a buttery smoothness, and coupled with the mix of brush and polish, this is every bit a luxury piece as it is a tool.
The smooth sweep of the seconds hand due to the 9R65 Spring drive movement, draws your eyes outward to the perfectly executed hour markers and ceramic bezel, reminding you that this is yet another Grand Seiko that needs to be seen to be appreciated.
There are very minor surface wear signs on the watch, specifically on the non crown case side, and on the distal/dorsal side of the bracelet.
The clasp has on the fly micro adjustments, coupled with a flip lock and bears a few signs of desk diving, again minimal wear and only seen at certain angles, but I aim for full disclosure.
The watch comes in at 44mm in diameter and about 14mm thick. Pictured for reference on my ~7” wrist
Asking $6250 plus shipping or f2f in the GTA
