Hello,

Has someone here handled an SBGD201J and can speak to its movement finish? This is the piece

The reason I’m asking about is that I am considering buying it, but at the same price point, I am also eyeing the FP Journe Chronometer Souverain and some A Lange and Söhne models. It all comes down to movement finishing for me tbh. The Grand Seiko rep tells me that the SBGD201 model is the best movement finishing they have and takes a crazy amount of time by master watchmakers in their Micro Artist Studio. However, I’m wanting opinions from people who have handled it as well. Of course, FP and ALS movement finishing is undisputed.

So, let me know what you think!
