Grand Seiko SBGX117

Post by toxicavenger » Tue Feb 19, 2019 6:54 pm

I picked up the black version not to long ago. I still like this watch. A little heavy for a quartz movement but I like wearing it. I thought about getting the polished bezel blasted it but I was told there is to much room for error. I think it would be a dope mod.

Now i am wearing it on a Uncle Seiko GL rubber strap.

Stock GS.

I modded a Z199 from Uncle Seiko for it also.

Didn’t you also own the silver/white dial at one point? Always liked these.

Come on. You know the dress code at ToxicNatos is underwear only, and optional in Friday.

I am in deep on this one. They are not as easy to find since they sold out almost 5 years ago.

Yes. I liked it quite a bit. These are big watches for a 42mm. And they not light. Here is the white/silver dial one I had.

Loved the white one you had and this is just as sweet. Did you get this from Mark (Roadking)? Knew he recently sold one.

He's a new one for sale. I can't vouch for the seller.

I should've never sold you mine. It is unfortunate that these were discontinued.

Is this the sort of reasonably sized quartz GS diver? Has it really been five years since they released that?

I ordered mine in December 2014, shortly after it was released. I bought a SBDX012 at the same time. Holy shit the prices of those have gone bonkers. Should've kept that one too...
