1. ITEM: Grand Seiko SBGA041 titanium case and bracelet, spring drive movement
2. CONDITION: It's been keeping to a very steady 0.25 seconds fast per day, which is just phenomenal. The date changes (which I've covered in the video) just before midnight and the winding is smooth - you can just about hear the sound of the winding over the building work (keep your hands near the volume control when watching the video!) This has wear marks and some scratches to the case, bezel and bracelet as is to be expected from a wearer. I have made a video to show all the marks - photos never capture as much as videos do, so please take the time to view the video in its entirety and shoot me a PM if you want details on anything in particular. Serial number indicates it is from 2015.
3. EXTRAS: This comes with its box, operating instructions booklet (pretty scuffed as you can see in the photo) and inside that is a Seiko Premium Card which has the watch's details on it and the dealer's stamp. Currently fitted to my 17cm wrist, and comes with two full size and one half size link.
4. LOCATION: London, UK
5. PRICE: £2800 via BT/cash face to face, although courier delivery can be arranged (although it'll be pricey as RMSD does not cover this value). No trades please.
6. DESCRIPTION: It's a stonkingly good piece. The titanium means it is absolutely delightful on wrist and is barely noticeable if you can get the bracelet fit right. The quality of the thing jumps out due to those gorgeously finished indices and that lovely polish on the sides of the case and bezel. The lume is nothing special, but helps a little in low light, and the hands can sometimes be a little hard to read due to the similarity between the hour and minutes hands. The seconds hand though...they know what they're doing with that, as the tip is slightly differently polished, which means it always catches the light. The applied markers are gorgeous, and watching the seconds hand glide over them and be reflected in the markers is something that needs to be seen.
7. PICTURES:

I've included some macro shots of the dial to show off those ludicrously detailed applied markers and gorgeously-brushed hands.
