The short answer

The closest alternative to the Grand Seiko SBGW258 is the Grand Seiko SBGK006 ($22,200) — same family (Elegance) and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Grand Seiko SBGW281 at $4,900 (vs $26,000 for the SBGW258) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Specht & Sohne Specht & Söhne SP2649A Automatic is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Blancpain Villeret Quantième Complet ($59,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
