Mechanically identical to the SLGB023 and everything in that entry applies unchanged. What is specific here is that the green execution is sold only through Grand Seiko boutiques and Master Shops, which makes provenance worth more than usual.
- The seconds hand glides rather than ticks, as on every Spring Drive. A visible step means the movement is not running correctly.
- Boutique-and-Master-Shop-only distribution means a green one appearing well below the going rate deserves the question of where it came from, asked plainly and without accusation.
- High-Intensity Titanium resists the soft scuffing that plain titanium picks up, so unusually easy marking is worth a second look.
| Area | What to check | What is correct | Red flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| dial | Seconds hand motion | A continuous glide with no step at any magnification | Any stepping, which means the glide wheel is not running as a Spring Drive should |
| dial | Green gradient and the embossed Ushio pattern | An even gradient with the tide pattern pressed into the dial and visible under angled light | A flat printed pattern, or a gradient that shifts abruptly rather than smoothly |
| case | Unidirectional bezel, 120 clicks | Anticlockwise only, 120 defined clicks, green fired through the ceramic insert | Bidirectional rotation or a pale substrate visible at a chipped edge |
| caseback | Papers against the distribution channel | Boutique or Master Shop paperwork consistent with how this reference is sold | Nothing wrong on its own, but worth asking about given the restricted channel |
- Bracelet links and the diver extension are ordinary service items.
- The ceramic insert is replaced after damage.
