๐Ÿšจ NWA ๐Ÿšจ Grand Seiko SBGW231

The Grand Seiko SBGW231 is my new dress watch. At first I wasn't sure but then I brought it out into natural light and my god is it beautiful! I bought it to pair with my BB58 and replace my BB36 to complete my collection. We'll see if it'll stay, but so far I'm liking it especially on this strap to help make it a little more casual.

Simple and elegant yet sophisticated. GS makes some of the best dials in the business but they are difficult to capture by camera. This watch has got soul.ย

Love it! what an awesome pairing.ย

Great two watch combination! BB58 looks great on the tropic dive strap, too

They really are difficult to capture!

I think those two will be a perfect two-watch collection ๐Ÿ˜

Go for it, itโ€™s gorgeous!

Awesome pairing! The photos donโ€™t do the dial justice.

ย I have the SBGW 231 and have always wanted to pair it with either a BB58 or an Omega Aqua Terra. ย  ย Congrats!

Gorgeous. ๐Ÿ˜ Much more than the piece beside it. ๐Ÿ˜œย 
The black leather strap with its texture actually gives your GS an even more formal look. It's stock bracelet (I assume that's what it came with) will work in both formal, business, and a bit more casual settings, IMHO. If you want to really make it look casual, @Ichibunz will have a few suggestions how to do so. ๐Ÿ‘

You everything you need there๐Ÿ‘Œ I personally would maybe add a beater, but that's it.

I hope to get a GS some day aswell ๐Ÿ™

GS is always impresting me

Very nice and something I've considered myself. I really like what GS are doing with the slightly smaller sizes.ย

I have a Casio W800 as my beater ๐Ÿ‘ thank you! Hopefully you get your GS too!

It really does look great on that strap; did it come with that, or is it aftermarket and if so then what brand? ย thanks

Thanks! The strap on the GS is aftermarket from Vario. Itโ€™s their Italian leather strap. Itโ€˜s extremely soft and comfortable and pretty good quality for the price.ย

Congratulations on your new GS! Both the dial and the exhibition case back looks amazing! ๐Ÿป

Congratz. There is many things to like, in its apparent simplicity.

A bit thinner, I wouldn't have minded.

Beside the gorgeous dial and the indices, I find this wath to have one of the smoothest crown action ever.

Thank you! the thickness is only 11.6mm but at least 1mm comes from the crystal so itโ€™s really a thin watch.ย
