Up today I have one of the most prolific releases in the GS lineup, my SLGH005 aka “The White Birch”

Most of us GS fanatics are aware of the inspiration the artisans at Grand Seiko draw from nature and more specifically from the Shizukuishi area where the Grand Seiko mechanical timepieces are created.

This evolution in the Grand Seiko lineup is similarly drawn from the White Birch forest near the Shizukuishi studio which is mirrored in the dial work of the SLGH005 and mimics the forest and it’s confluence with the flow of time - where time is considered to be a part of nature itself.

The dial is housed in a beautifully rendered 40mm case with brushed and zaratsu polished edges. Beneath the dial lies the mechanical 9SA5, 36,000 vph movment - the heart of this timepiece that yields a robust 80 hours ( 3+ days) of power.

Coming in at 11.7mm in thickness and an apparent 48mm lug to lug (on bracelet) this timepiece is very wearable for wrists between 6.4”-7.5”

Most people place art on walls and rarely access it daily.

One lucky individual however, can purchase this wearable artwork and have it adorn their wrist for decades to come - knowing full well you paid less than you should have for something of this caliber - retail is over $12k, any way you slice it, I’m asking $7650 f2f in the GTA or shipping at cost

One more for good measure and simply because the detail on the dial was too much for the regular site to handle, so here’s a compressed version.

Text me for the actual

I’ve gotten a lot of questions regarding condition. I must have missed commenting on the same, so this is not a piece that’s in mint condition (not by my standards atleast) I will say it’s been gently used and there are some signs of wear, most notably to a few links. There are hairlines on the polished bits of the bezel but the polished portion being rather small itself, they’re not wholly obvious unless you angle it just right, snap a picture and zoom in i.e. not easily visible to the naked eye unless looking for flaws.

Lastly…
Bump
