hi EastWest
no it is the model sg 1209 for sale on yahoo auction.  the seller has several strike gold 1209 jeans on sale.
as I shop on yahoo auction with buyee, I cannot contact the seller for more information.

@boombasstic there are other proxy services (also cheaper than Buyee [correction, seems that Buyee got cheaper]). Try FromJapan, they will also contact the seller with your questions.

@swiss-jeansfreak and I started getting very excited about the raw 24.8 ounce Extra Hard SG9903s! I could see where you could get 2 pairs raw in different sizes. He sussed it out and when I went to look again next morning one of the two pairs had gone! He admitted he was the guilty party. I quickly snaffled the last pair, a size 32 hoping they would fit. Well they do and were so much easier to do up and less course than my 2016 size 32 UHR634s.

@Jeansman Amazing, I always wanted to feel these in person! Surprised to hear they are more malleable the the UHR, although I never felt the original version of that denim..

[JunkPants]

@Jeansman Nice! Very cool fabric. Are you putting these to use straight away?

(I have a pair of these in the tapered, one washed version, SG9904, tucked away, waiting for the right occasion. Might be a little while, too many great IH jeans to get through )

Thanks @T4920 . I also have a few pairs of unworn earlier edition UHRs you could feel and some barely worn earlier edition XHSs as well as some unworn Full Counts with arcs and red tabs and loads of unworn LVC.

@JunkPants I wore them this afternoon but generally will wear them in gradually alongside my UHRs as I am having so much fun with my UHRs. The SG9903s are not good for soft furnishings as they shed indigo (at least on my hands) like crazy.

Go to https://www.instagram.com/jasad_liar88?igsh=aXJ0MW53d2x3bWc3 to see the fades on his competition pair which look to me like One Washed one's.

@Jeansman Very cool, looking forward to seeing yours after some wear!
(Worst indigo bleed I've experienced personally was a pair of Samurai raw 25oz).

Yeah, saw that Indigo Invitational pair the other day (which I agree are probably the one washed version), they sure look great!

So many cool jeans, only one pair of legs......

[Jeansman]

Here they are at the piano! I so love this non- washed unsanforized 24.8 ounce denim and those lovely big almost square pockets that I have gone for a pair of SG9904s with the narrower hem as well ! SG9903 for boots and SG9904 for trainers.

[Jeansman]

@JunkPants well you can wear more than one pair at a time - probably not a good idea with this weight though!

[JunkPants]

@Jeansman Wow, nice that you got both! This denim is pretty awesome though.

Haha, I wouldn't last long in two of these

Sorry @Alex . At the party I was super-restrained despite trying on and loving the slubs in 634 cut and another cut which I really liked. But I knew if I tried a new cut I would end up getting carried away and wanting that cut in the other weights as well. So I returned home empty-handed and got lots of brownie points for being able to answer No to my wife's question whether I had bought any more jeans.

Advance a month, and I got beguiled by The Strike Gold's 24.8 Extra Hard series. May be I saw the competition pair in the Indigo Invitational? I wanted the non-washed version. I liked the big pockets on the SG9903s and the taper on the SG9904s. I was able to score 1 pair of non-washed SG9903s and 2 pairs on non-washed SG9904s so evened it up with a non-washed pair of SG9903s. However, the non-washed are also awesome.

To cut it short I ended up with 1 extra pair of one-washed 9903s and an extra pair of one-washed 9904s which are more suitable for smarter occasions. See pic

But I needed something in reserve so I got a further non-washed pair of SG9903s and SG9904s. See pic

In total the 8 pairs of extra hard should last me a while!

However, all is not lost as I am still really enjoying my UHRs and am approaching 3 months without a wash or soak.

The Strike Gold is a brand I always wanted to wear into the ground. However, I tried two different cuts three times and the rise never enough. Always sits too low and crowds the boys.
