**GRAND SEIKO GS9 CLUB EXCHUSIVE RELEASE SBGY023 FULL KIT**   The Grand Seiko SBGY023 GS9 Club exclusive was a limited release of 299 pieces that sold out within days of its release.  The sparkling dial has a surprising depth, made possible via a pattern known as kirazuri, the fine printmaking paper technique where the natural fibers shine through to create a degree of roughness in the surface – made most famous in woodblock prints of the Matsumoto Castle. Here, these rough patches create spectacular dazzling highlights that can go from silver to stone to almost brown. Its beautifully offset by a blued seconds hand with the characteristic ultra-smooth sweep of the spring drive, and uncluttered due to a lack of other dial complications.   [**PICS**](https://imgur.com/a/ZdyRgX8) [**TIME STAMP**](https://imgur.com/65LmNew) The Spring Drive was an engineering marvel when it was invented 20 years ago, and the 9R31 version here honors that tradition. Tucked behind an exhibition back, the main barrel (72 hour reserve) and blued screws are on full display, along with an integrated power reserve meter. Mounted on a gray alligator leather strap with signed deployant clasp, its an elegant package indeed! Ships double boxed, with manual and warranty card (dated from December 2022). Also includes a gorgeous bespoke Artisans gray ostrich leather strap.     **Priced at $7,750**. Payment by Wire Transfer or Zelle preferred. Watch is located in Washington, DC, USA area.
