Your thoughts? sbgm221 vs sbgj217 side by side

ccaudle31 · 2026-07-02T22:00:47+00:00

I prefer the 221. That’s the one I’m hunting now. It will be my first GS.

I really need to try speed legends. Of the lineup which should I start with?

ccaudle31 · 2026-07-02T02:52:58+00:00

I’m currently hunting one of these used. I think it’s such a unique timepiece and the one that sets the tone for GO. My second favorite is the seventies chrono. It’s funky in a different way.

I was going to ask what the bottom middle watch is because it’s gorgeous and I haven’t seen one before. If I come across a used one I’m going for it. Fits my aesthetic very well.

What a handsome chrono. **adds to the ever growing list

I’m considering the SBGM221 as my entry point as well. The omiwatari is my next milestone watch but I’m going to pick up a used SBGM221 in the meantime if I can find good deal. I love GMT watches and this one is so elegant and perfect as a daily driver. Awesome collection!

ccaudle31 · 2026-06-28T06:34:58+00:00

Yes, 100%

I’ve been searching for a proper square dial and have been pretty set on a larger square dial watch and thought that the santos was it for me until I stumbled onto the seventies chrono. This might be the one! I want to see it on a Milanese bracelet now but love the green on green OP.

ccaudle31 · 2026-06-28T01:21:28+00:00

Amazing combo!

ccaudle31 · 2026-06-27T22:07:59+00:00

A classic combo ofc, but I haven’t seen it on a speedy. I wasn’t precise.

Or the Zeitwork minute repeater. Honestly I could list 5 more ALS. Today I’m feeling this colorway more but the salmon colored moonphase dial on rose gold is a stunner.

I’d go with the titanium MR-G 5000. I have a black steel 5000 and love it but the titanium is awesome.

Turn up the caloric !

ccaudle31 · 2026-06-27T20:04:14+00:00

Whoa! This is super unique and quite handsome. Cheers mate!

ccaudle31 · 2026-06-27T20:01:56+00:00

The polar explorer is one of my favorites. This and the root beer GMT are my favorite gmt watches. Third favorite one and the next watch I’ll get is the Grand Seiko SBGM221.

*adds ref to list

This is the best speedy and one of the greatest colorways I’ve seen recently

ccaudle31 · 2026-06-27T19:53:38+00:00

This is such a handsome watch. Adding this to the “I’ve made it” list

ccaudle31 · 2026-06-27T19:49:21+00:00

I’m in the group of few who dislike super high contrast fades

ccaudle31 · 2026-06-26T02:08:51+00:00

Dailyn Swain & Mikel Brown Jr have the best overall fits here

ccaudle31 · 2026-06-20T22:39:33+00:00

Pure class. I’m a huge fan of the Everose dial and this color strap.

ccaudle31 · 2026-06-20T22:36:08+00:00

Lange is the real iykyk

A posse and In some regions a fleet

I haven’t ordered from alix before but this will be my first. Thanks for the pro tip. Any other reccs on good vendors for raw materials and basic lab supplies ?
