SBGA011 is a Grand Seiko Spring Drive Snowflake reference.
The case is titanium.
It runs the 9R65, a spring drive movement.
Catalogued dial colour: silver / white.
The original 'Snowflake', predecessor to SBGA211. Dial texture evokes fallen snow; the dial itself carried 'Seiko' at 12 o'clock and 'Grand Seiko' at 6 o'clock, the pre-2017 dual-branding style dropped when SBGA211 took over. The two sources disagree on the introduction year (2005 vs. 2010); left unstated rather than guessed. No source found names an official Grand Seiko collection for this pre-rebrand reference, so modelFamily is kept as 'Spring Drive' rather than reassigned.

How do I check a Grand Seiko SBGA011 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
