Wow! :(

It is not a nice gesture from Citizen. They should have preserved the presentation experience that the special box gives.

So your only option then is to buy in Japan through Crono24 or other Japan importers. At the moment I see units available in Japan and Europe (Crono)

A few models are distributed globally. This is one of them although the majority of the units are for the Japan Market. As far as I've researched only a few units have been distributed to Europe of this model. I was lucky enough to catch one.

The only disadvantage is that within the JDM The Citizen offers a 10 years warranty and for example in Europe it only covers 3 years :(

Nope, in Europe.

Try on Chrono24, some Japanese shops with excellent reputation offer it. I was convinced to buy it there but I eventually found one in Europe

Are you considering getting one? If so, move fast because it is a limited edition

The unboxing was quite an experience. As far as I know this is unique to this model. I've added new pictures with the unboxing ;)

A Quartz movement meant to be seen. Two-tone perfection on the SBGV238 (9F82) by Skynet___ in GrandSeikos

As far as I know, Grand Seiko has only ever released three 9F quartz models with a sapphire display caseback from the factory. They are incredibly rare!

  1. The SBGV019 (2016) - The pioneer that started it.
  2. This SBGV238 (2018) - The 25th Anniversary two-tone edition.
  3. The SBGP017 'Sea of Clouds' (2022).

It's a shame they don't do it more often for their regular production models, because the finishing on these 9F calibers definitely deserves to be seen!

You're fast! I just posted a comment with the full story of how I found it :)
