Picked this one up today, couldn’t be happier
@@hammalamiri12 tis a gorgeous watch indeed my friend!
Congratulations on this incredible purchase. A GS gmt is very high on my wish list.
I’m still in love this one, my other watches are getting jealous! Thanks James! 😎
Congrats on a fabulous new watch. I love the way the second hand moves. I can really find the words to describe it.
Awesome watch. Can't wait to try one on. Love the accuracy
It really is! I have a full review of this one coming out today 😎
Thank you for your summary on this watch.
I have just ordered one myself. A few months ago I was knocked off my bicycle and run over by a van driver. I had my last surgery to repair the resulting damage just before Christmas and decided to order myself a “recovery” watch to mark the occasion. I already own the older 003 version, but I really like the monochrome look of this 027. The 19mm logs won’t be an issue - I own some 19mm NATO style options for my existing watch, and regularly handmade my own leather straps anyway.
With a bit of luck, the watch will be with me in a week or so, and I can look forward to wearing it as I recuperate.
Keep up the lovely videos, and keep well for 2024 :-)
Wow that’s on hell of the story. I’m really glad to hear you’re on the mend buddy. Happy new year to you and I wish you the speediest of recoveries!
This one is a stunner - you won’t be disappointed! By the way do you have a website for your leather straps?
I wish it had a red GMT hand, not just for a pop of color but also to make it easier to differentiate at a glance. I owned the SBGE255 and sold it. Now I want to pick up another GS GMT. Thanks for the video!
I have to agree, I think either a blue, orange or red would maybe make it pop more and certainly be more legible.
Great looking GMT GS! If you have a few watches in the box, the quartz is great because it's always ready to go! No resetting after a week. I'm loving my 9F quartz Sea of Clouds 🎉
Thank you! I love the Grand Seiko range, I was ignorant to it when I first started collecting. So glad I did more research on it! I’ve seen your model yet, but I’m sure I’ll want it when I see it 😂😎
Dzieki za filmik.
Thank you!
If you like HAQ, you could try to get your hands on a Citizen AQ series (the Citizen)
I’ll definitely start looking!
I like it but, wouldn't you prefer the GMT hand to be a different colour to the other hands?
Very good point honestly I was 50/50 on it but can see why it would be a good idea
@@AwkwardHorology Have you seen the Christopher Ward Sealander GMT?
@@MrSitemaster2 indeed I have! I was actually going to buy it before I bought the dune gmt instead!
3:17 that gap between the case and the bracelet solid end link at 11 o’clock side 😅
Yeah that’s me removing the bracelet for a sailcloth and nato. then putting it back on again … terribly🤣😂
@@AwkwardHorology So by removing the bracelet the end links shrank?
I'ts a great looking watch. I wish it was in 40mm.
Dependant on wrist size I think you’d be quite surprised with how well it wears, on my 7 1/4 inch wrist it looks good. (In my opinion of course!)
Welcome to Scratch Magnet City! I'll get the SBGN003 with more brushed surfaces.
Tbh I don’t know how people get so many scratches on their watch? I’ve worn my GS while stacking supermarket shelves and running around the store / warehouse. Very few micro scratches
The 003 is an absolute scratch magnet lol ask me how I know! The long polished chamfer on the lugs gets it from simply looking at it wrong
