Pink Snowflake

I handled one today. Limited to 1500 they had 2 in stock. Don’t know what to think. I love GS. But think I’ll pass on this one. For now.

It is a nice watch but if it didn't work for you, one will be along soon that will.

Purchased the Cherry Blossum! DavidSW had a very nice example at a reasonable price.

I looked at it yesterday. Was not impressed. Spring seasons much better pink.

My local dealer is getting another Cherry Blossom in soon, I can't wait to see it.

Please post pics of yours!

Congratulations, Michelle! Glad you found the right piece in the end. Please share some pictures when it arrives. Grand Seiko dials never fail to amaze me.

I got a Cherry Blossom this weekend - I love it! It's very lite weight being Ti and the dial is crazy cool - so much change and contrast depending on the light and the angle. Straight on, it's very silver, with a hint of pink. The pink starts to show when tilted.

Congratulations it’s such a nice watch. I actually sold my first one and really missed it. I’m glad to have one back again.

I had a look at the pink snowflake here in Melbourne at the Seiko store and it isn't as impressive as the Shunbun - sbga413g. Besides a pinker dial and a red power revere hand its meh.

Personally not worth the hassle over my sbga413g.
