This clean, elegant, formal SBGX261 was my very first Grand Seiko. You might not believe–unless you've experienced it with your first Grand Seiko–just how much time I spent gazing (with the naked eye and with a loupe) at all the different finishes and how they each catch the light in a different characteristic way.

A few years back, in Utah after a good snow day, I heard someone walking by inform his friend that he'd been out "cuttin' freshies in the pow-pow." I was stunned, transfixed between joy and horror at this linguistic wonder. I give you: the pow-pow, courtesy of Grand Seiko. [jbm-20230213-sl2-stack-097_138]
