The short answer

The closest alternative to the Grand Seiko SLGB003 is the Grand Seiko SLGB005 ($11,100) — shared caliber (Grand Seiko 9RB2) and Same family (Evolution 9). If price is the constraint, the Grand Seiko SBGX355 at $4,100 (vs $11,400 for the SLGB003) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Alexander James Watches A4 Legacy Dress 37 is the standout microbrand take — visually similar and Same size. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SLGB001 ($39,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
