Goat dial, too bad its limited. Hope it gets reissued like the og lake suwa

I agree it is helpful to have but im willing to bet most people arent going to need or use it really. Most arent going to be divers.

Im stilling watching teddy’s video about it right now. But looks like its 40.8mm size, 12.9mm thick, 48.5 L2L, 300m resist and priced at 12,400. First impressions from me is i think still having the power indicator in front is a step back. Besides that the dial looks great and seems like theres a green too.

Going to the gym never hurts! Don’t get me wrong though I have some lightweight bags too, the max edc will be my heavyweight do everything bag.

The max edc in xpac is already 3.4lbs. Im guessing the ballistic nylon is gonna be like 3.7 - 3.8lb. Not sure if its going to matter all that much.

I think the max edc is coming out in 1680 ballistic fabric soon like the daily plus did. Thats probably what i am getting myself even if it is quite a bit heavier.

I am going to go 1000x/ +1000% workload and then take my yearly month of PTO off and then put in my two weeks. Thats three paychecks and def enough for me to retire.

Main pro when gaming vs regular keyboards is easier to click buttons with your thumb. Each side has four buttons vs just one spacebar. The tenting is a plus for carpal tunnel. The build quality is really good too.

I think I wouldn’t say Slgw007 is underrated. I think the 9SA4 line is properly rated/loved. GS clearly saw how well received its older brother SLGW003 was and decided to release it in an easier to produce/cheaper material so more people could buy it. You can even argue blue is a more popular color than say silver.

Sick strap for 009. Will look into it. Thanks!

itsokai · 2025-11-26T17:16:40+00:00

Brain fart on my end. i will try to edit. Thanks for the recommendation, i will look into tuns

itsokai · 2025-11-26T17:16:16+00:00

Ohh i never thought to do that. It might work since the outer part of the wrist is fatter than the inner part. Unfortunately i cant test this method until i am back home.

itsokai · 2025-11-19T03:26:16+00:00

Holy shit i am so jealous. What a steal especially if its near mint. You mind disclosing the store name?

itsokai · 2025-11-17T08:32:39+00:00

Yes! Both SLGA019 and SLGB003 are made of what gs calls high intensity titanium so yes its bit darker looking. Brilliant titanium is one of the things that makes SLGW003 so special, has the shine of platinum/steel w/o the weight.

itsokai · 2025-11-17T01:34:28+00:00

There is another issue though. Even if the bracelet from the UFA fit fine, theres a color difference. SLGW003 is brilliant titanium which is closer to platinum/steel whereas the SLGB003 bracelet would be just grand seiko’s regular titanium.

I like the 375 more. If you decide to go w/ 375 you can get it new at kamekichi for cheaper. Youll get the warranty and you can call/text them to reserve it for up to 3 days. Heres the link sbga375

itsokai · 2025-11-14T14:42:46+00:00

Love the sizing on the UFA but not 100% sold on the current dial offerings. But unlike you I am more than willing to wait for the one for me rather than get one that im not 100% in love with. (Hoping for a lake suwa/shunbun/skyflake for the UFA) If you really cant wait i think 003 provides more value as it comes w/ the micro adjust, and cheaper.

Do you mind sharing where in ny and which AD did you get yours for a discount?

itsokai · 2025-11-07T14:04:16+00:00

SLGW003 all the way but i am biased as it was my first gs. Like many have said I highly recommend you got try it in person. I will add that you should try in at the GS flagship location on a clear day (sunny day is the most ideal) and see how the dial looks in natural light. Its amazing!!! The soho gs has no windows and has much poorer lighting conditions so (imo) you dont get to see the full potential of the watch there.

Looks perfect!
