Today, I'm putting up for sale my Grand Seiko Hana Ikada SBGY026. The moment Watches and Wonders announced this in 2023, I called my AD and was able to purchase before they even left Switzerland. I'm selling it for two reasons. One, I am looking to purchase a different piece and this would help with the funds for that. Two, When I bought this, I didn't particularly tie it to any achievementor any milestone, just bought it cause it was one of the most beautiful watches I've seen, but I've learned that my connection to watches weakens substantially if I didn't buy it for an occasion/celebration. I imagine anyone who is looking to purchase this is already quite familiar with the watch, but here are some of the spec's if not. Combination of the sought after Shunbun dial color and texture, and the Omiwatari case shape. The iconic Spring Drive movement from Grand Seiko. Hand wound which keeps the case a thin 10.2mm Rose Gold 38.5mm what I personally perceive to be a perfect size for a dress watch for someone with larger wrists like myself Condition is great for an gently used watch. There is some light swirling on the case, and then a scuff on the buckle. All of the cosmetic marks are very surface level. Ive tried to depict that in the photos. Have all boxes and papers and even the tags that were attached to the watch at the time of purchase. I'm more than willing to Facetime to show close ups or discuss the transaction. Im asking for $30,000 to me via Wire or Zelle willing to ship to the 48 continental States. Im in the Chicagoland area, so if you're around the area, we can meet at a bank and transact the business in person should you like. Thanks for reading, and hope to chat!
