The only real downside here is that the watch is now cased in stainless steel and costs $10,000, which is only slightly than the entry price of the SLGW003 last year ($10,700 in 2024), which itself is now $11,600. In an ideal world, I’d be able to get the blue dial in Brilliant-Hard Titanium, which is one of Grand Seiko’s best materials combining a lightweight feel and high-polished (and brushed) surfaces. You can’t always get what you want all in one watch, but a guy can dream.
