Explorer style GS ❤️
Recently came across this photo of the SBGA371 on social media and immediately got all of the feels.
Apparently it was the 2018 limited release of 500 for the Japanese Association of Haute Horology’s (AJHH) special annual model.
Anyone else think GS should have an explorer style model as part of their permanent collection? This thing is gorgeous!!

Check this one out, man!
If I had to choose between the 2, I would take both.
Check this one out, man!
Is this yours?!?!
Beautiful, even if I prefer a date window.

No, not mine. Just a very Explorer type dial - even matches the Explorer’s dateless aesthetic.
But you’re right. The one you found is better looking!

I am so tempted to get it, just not a huge fan of salmon dials. Or used watches (as you are well aware 😂) I wonder if GS would ever mass produce a watch like this? It feels too far outside of their design aesthetic.

If they produced it once, they’ll go back to the well another time. It’s just a matter of waiting!

I love that explorer-like dial with date and power reserve and might be tempted if it were not for the plain metallic pink background. I do hope they follow up with a variant in that direction.
I’ve had that one on my ‘would love to buy’ list for years now… Too many watches I want ..and a very limited budget … have meant nope! 🫤

I know this boat all too well. Huge grand Seiko fan right here... And damn every time I make my mind up on which one I'm going to pull the trigger on... They drop another banger that stops me in my tracks and I have to reevaluate my whole budget and life for again!

Limited buying power here in Canuck-istan means I must be very very very very very very very selective on watches before buying, reckon you might share this issue with me 😉
Check this one out, man!
I might know someone who ended up with one of those off a lowball bid a little bit ago, and is currently waiting for one in the mail (definitely not me 😉)

Just wait for some obscure anniversary for a limited edition release.

Ha! Yeah, that's right. If they did it once, they'll do it again. @BigIona, just wait, because you'll get the dial, without the salmon color that you don't like.

Ugh, I’m so bad at waiting.
Maybe I’ll sell a few pieces now just to be ready 🤣

Well, I already sold the Reverso last month. Most likely one of my Tudor’s will go (I have 3 at the moment), probably the bronze now that I have the Harrod’s.
Check this one out, man!
Wow that's really nice 👌
Really nice.grand seiko do Really well making pink dial fit nice on a man's wrist 👍
I really like that Grand Seiko SBGA371
Very interesting dial, IMO.
