Hey All, [Pics](https://imgur.com/a/Pvaa4Dx) [Updated Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/rT9Iwv4) Up for sale today is my Grand Seiko SBGJ249 "Sho-Sho" full set with a factory warranty valid until 8/2028. I picked this watch up last August and have worn it on just a couple of trips since. The high polish case shows only very light signs of wear and it's currently running at +3s/day on the timegrapher. I'm also including a Navy Horween Shell Cordovan strap ($80) and a factory Grand Seiko buckle($175). Original bracelet and all links included as well. While the star of this model though is clearly the dial, the movement also deserves some consideration. Unlike other Heritage GMT models, the SBGJ249 is running the more premium 36000vph Hi Beat movement which is something of a rarity in the modern watch world. As I can't say it any better myself, I'll leave the description of the dial and movement to *A Blog To Watch:* “Inspired by the delicate ripples the warm wind creates over the many thousands of lakes and ponds throughout Japan,” the SBGJ249 has a wave pattern dial. While up close it looks almost crude and volcanic with its grainy texture and sharp ridges, from regular viewing distances it looks the very opposite: soft, eerily akin to a natural pond in some serene setting. Quality, as is expected from Grand Seiko, is exceptional. The prints are sharper than one could ever expect to see over such surfaces, and the indices are set on exactly the same plane to create incredibly even reflections with their perfectly flat top surfaces. A rough estimate: 99% of sub-$10,000 European luxury watches have their bottoms handed to them by Grand Seiko when it comes to dial quality. One gets the sensation that most Swiss brands would charge you $6,800 just for such a dial alone. Under the dial, but exposed through the sapphire crystal caseback of the Grand Seiko SBGJ249 “Shosho” is the 9S86 “Hi-Beat” self-winding movement, designed and made in-house by Grand Seiko, of course. Operating at a mighty high 5 Hertz frequency, power reserve nevertheless is 55 hours, and accuracy (mean daily rate) is quoted to be between -3 and +5 seconds per day. A quickset hour hand also allows for the backward and forward adjustment of the date, while the final position of the crown sets all indications at once – including the 24-hour GMT hand. Paid $6600 for the watch and $255 for the buckle and shell cordovan strap. Price is a firm **$4199** PayPal F&F shipped tracked and insured CONUS. Not looking for trades.
