Grand Seiko needs to do this from now on.

I have gone through so many straps (lost a good deal of money 300+USD) trying to find a strap for this watch, including purchasing one directly from Grand Seiko, all of them failed miserably. The 44GS is a thick case and there is no beating around that bush, pretty much any strap that isn't curved and padded will fare horribly against it (unless you have the 10mm version of the 44GS). In the end I chose to go bespoke and pay up and it definitely payed off.

which I have yet to see, though from pictures neither are lacking in depth and richness. It's just that the GS has a stunning texture that occasionally pops out as well!

watch are beautifully matched. Love that shade of blue!
Thickness is a product of design

If you compare the evo 9 case and the 44GS with the same 9SA5 movement, the 44gs wears way thinner despite not being any thinner due to the lug design. Truly an interesting phenomenon. I love the original peacock in green and actually tried it before even...
Excellent combo!
