SBGY007 or SBGY009 ??

Hello WC community I'm currently hesitating between two grand seiko models SBGY007 and SBGY009 If you ever have any preferences let me know ๐Ÿ˜‰

You have a diverse collection so either fit. The 9 is more versatile, but the 7 will definitely stand out more If that is important.ย

both beautiful, i recently tried on the SBGY007 and whilst a lovely piece i felt it worn on the small size, so id go with the 9ย 

ยท

Ooof! ย That's a tough one!

I would say 009, but I say that without having tried it on wrist!

  • The 007 was at the top of my list, but when I went into a boutique to try it on, for some reason, it just didn't really get me going - totally idiosyncratic
  • The dial of the 007 is very subtle, and you only see the wave patterns at certain angles of light
  • What I particularly like about the 009 are the gold accents, which really pop against the dark dial, and the 44GS case

But, either one will be absolutely killer!

Honestly, the SBGY007 leaves me a bit cold, but that just me. I did get to try on the SBGY009, and seriously considered it (but I opted for the Peacock instead; I'm still not sure I made the right choice). My personal taste aside, I would opt for the 009, since it's limited edition. It will be harder to find later, and possibly cost more. The 007 will be readily available, and at a discount on the secondary market.ย

Both!

007 stands out more

009. I much prefer the design of the 44GS case. Plus, having 100M of water resistance makes it much more versatile in my opinion. Also, I have the SLGH009, so Iโ€™m partial to an LE with the number 009 with a dark blue dial and gold seconds hand ๐Ÿ˜†

I also prefer a 40mm watch with a wrist just over 7โ€.ย

Y'all got the joke before I did.ย

Have to go with the 007, feel like it evokes GS more

ยท

Id go with the 007 on this one- im actually eyeing the brand new snow white one myself.

its the SBGY013- id change it to a leather bracelet. ย Ive got my sky blue fill with the skyflake SBGA407

I accidentally hit 009, but I meant 007 (@Max is there a way to fix this? thereโ€™s a lot of accidental voting regret). I think itโ€™s more playful than people give it credit for while maintaining its subtle elegance. I own it and love it. The 009 is gorgeous, too; itโ€˜s certainly has more presence if that matters to you.ย 

ยท

009 is beautiful and more versatile IMO

ยท

Never had a thought of adding a GS to my collection but I tried on the 007 at the boutique and it really impressed me. ย I am seriously thinking of adding it at some point down the road. ย I will be looking at one in secondary market where it will be much cheaper and making it an even more attractive proposition. ย 

ยท

007 does it for me. Love the dial. Canโ€™t you have both? LOL

ยท

I asked myself the same question and decided on the SBGY07. I like the dial better and the shape of the case as well. The only point in favour of the SBGY009 for me personally is the water resistance of 100m.ย 
Both watches are a real dream. By the way, the SBGY013 will be available in November. The steel bracelet that comes with the watch can also be fitted to the other watches. ๐Ÿ˜‰
