The short answer

The closest alternative to the Grand Seiko SBGH263 is the Grand Seiko SBGH281 ($6,300) — shared caliber (9S85) and Same family (Heritage). If price is the constraint, the Longines FLAGSHIP HERITAGE at $2,150 (vs $6,200 for the SBGH263) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Orient Star Heritage Gothic is the standout microbrand take — vintage revival and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SBGH368 ($32,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
