For sale is my used Grand Seiko Heritage Collection SBGV205 on bracelet. This beauty features the modern interpretation of the iconic 44GS design, which sets it apart from many of the current 9F offerings. I bought the watch preowned from Topper in March 2022. It is currently sized for a 7 3/8" wrist and comes with three extra links.

Watch is in very good condition overall. There are some scratches from normal wear that can be seen on the hi-polish surface of the bezel, side of the case, lugs, and bracelet. The most prominent scratch is on the top of the top left lug and can be seen in the photos. However, the scratch is thin and shows significantly less from other angles. The bracelet shows scratches on the bottom links that contact the desktop, tables, etc., which can be seen in the photos. Dial, crystal, and hands are in excellent condition. The battery was changed just a few months ago. The watch keeps excellent time, as you would expect from the 9F movement.

Watch comes with inner box, outer box, slipcase, three extra bracelet links, manual, and Topper paperwork.

Asking $1,440, which includes insured, priority USPS shipping (or FedEx/UPS, if you prefer). U.S. only, sorry. Payment via Zelle (preferred) or Paypal (at my discretion, with good feedback).

Prefer sale, but I might be open to a trade + cash from my end for any of the following valued at $5000 or under: Blancpain gold Villeret or Leman, Cartier Santos Dumont large, Rolex 16233 or 16013, or Panerai (most interested in white or blue dial).

Feedback is available here and on eBay under this username + 99. Thanks for looking!

	Established:	1881

	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
