SBGW031) ​Movement Caliber: In-house Caliber 9S64A (Manual-Wind / Hand-Wound) ​Jewel Count: 24 Jewels ​Adjustment Standard: Adjusted to 6 Positions & Temperature ​Case Material: Stainless Steel with 6-screw display caseback ​Strap: Navy Blue Leather Strap ​🌟 Pros ​💎 Impeccable Japanese Craftsmanship: High-precision component finishing and Zaratsu-polished hands/indices. ​🛡️ Exceptional Screw Gasket Design: Individual O-ring rubber gaskets per caseback screw for enhanced moisture sealing. ​⚙️ Reliable In-House Movement: The 9S64A caliber offers stable power delivery, high accuracy, and elegant movement decoration. ​🎨 Timeless Aesthetic: Cream/ivory dial paired with clean geometry provides a classic dress watch aesthetic. ​⚠️ Cons ​💧 Limited Water Resistance: Screw-retained caseback designs rely heavily on gasket integrity and are generally rated for splashes (30m) rather than aquatic activities. ​🔧 Vulnerable to Incompetent Service: Fine tolerances mean improper handling easily leaves scratches, damages hands, or breaks dial feet. ​⚡ Manual Winding Requirement: Requires manual winding via the crown to maintain power reserve (no automatic rotor). ​✨ Surface Oxidation Risk: Hands and indices can experience light surface tarnish over decades if exposed to moisture. ​#WatchRestoration #WatchServicing #Watchmaking #GrandSeikoGS #SeikoGS #LuxuryWatch #WatchRepair #Horology #ManualWind #Timepiece
