Grand Seiko SBGA427

Grand Seiko SBGA427 owners widely praise its extensive Zaratsu polishing and the "hall of mirrors" effect created by its diamond-cut indexes, complemented by a subtle, reeded dial and a striking green seconds hand. The 39mm case is noted for its comfortable, tapered bracelet, and the 9R65 Spring Drive movement is visible through the caseback. Some owners report the highly polished Zaratsu finish is prone to scuffs and scratches, with one mentioning a scratch near 1 o'clock. The Grand Seiko SBGA427 sold for $3750. Overall, owners rate the Grand Seiko SBGA427 highly for its exceptional finishing and the unique visual appeal of its dial and indexes.

Zelos Thresher 44

Owners widely praise the Zelos Thresher 44, with one owner noting its finish has proven remarkably scratch-resistant.

The Zelos Thresher 44 with an agate dial sold out in 90 seconds, with one owner receiving theirs and noting the bracelet was fully wrapped. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Thresher 44 highly for its desirability and scratch-resistant finish.
