The short answer
The closest alternative to the Grand Seiko SBGR321 is the Grand Seiko SBGR261 ($4,900) — shared caliber (Grand Seiko 9S65) and Same family (Elegance). If price is the constraint, the Tissot Gentleman at $950 (vs $5,200 for the SBGR321) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the MMI Watches NOR-LIGHT: "BLUE DATE SAPPHIRE DIAL" MODEL NL-05 (PROTOTYPE - REFURBISHED) (DELIVERY: 1ST WEEK OF JUNE 2026) is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. Stepping up, the Blancpain Villeret Quantième Complet ($37,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
