The profile of the case, which is a hair over 13mm in height, is as such that it sits very nicely on top of the wrist. While we are here – note also that Grand Seiko has chosen to maintain the drilled lugs, so very fantastic. And before we head back to the wrist, take in those angles and different textures as well – so very Grand Seiko, so very perfect.
Now, back to the wrist experience. I’m happy to say that on the wrist the watch does not feel top heavy. Top-heaviness is often an issue with modern gold watches, not with this watch. Grand Seiko has somehow mastered the art of case balance and that is also made clear with this case design and the wrist experience.
As it sits on the wrist, looking down on the watch, I have to reiterate – that bezel stands out and in a very good way. I have taken a shot at low light below, to show just how the bezel manages to bring visual interest to the overall design. That brushed bezel also adds a bit of a sportiness and a (very haute) tool-factor to the design.
Great shots and write up man! You baller getting this in for a hands on review!!!
How soon can you ship it to me?
