Grand Seiko SBGJ013 HIBEAT GMT Titanium - Sublime quality unmatched

Found this rare Grand Seiko SBGJ013 HiBeat GMT in Titanium (40mm). Launched in mid 2015 featuring the award winning Caliber 9S86 that beats at 36000 per hour that also features anti-magnetic properties. Considered by aficionados to be the pinnacle of Grand Seiko mechanical movement development. The case and bracelet are high gloss polished titanium - a feature that is not available to low grade titanium watches. High gloss polished titanium can only be found in very few brands. The images of this watch on the internet does not show its most impressive aspect - the details of the tuxedo dial. The dial is deep grey translucent material. The vertical lines are etched onto the dial from behind. The lines can only be seen clearly from an angle reflecting the light. Unlike the other GMT models of Grand Seiko, this model's GMT hand is in gold. The case, hands and indices are polished using the Zaratsu process that only a handful artisans are qualified to perform at Grand Seiko facility at Morioka Japan. The list price of this beautiful time piece is 750,000 yen.
