Incoming/Already here!!! NEW "SOKO" SBGA429 !
This is one of the new US market editions..
Not sure how they do it, but this dial is alive - the dial is textured, but it can go from dark charcoal, to silvery grey, to a brownish green... I'm not sure if it is psychologic colorplay against the green, or if different color elements are infused in the dial... but either way.. it is incredibly rich.. the Green hands add a bit of playfulness too.. but man I am in the honeymoon stage (again) 0P7A7598.JPG 0P7A7582.JPG

Congrats! The size looks really nice on that one, and I’m glad they didn’t stamp the back

Very nice, still pondering on the power reserve though. GS are just hitting it out of the park lately!

Congratulations!
The watch is so amazing that I’m seriously talking to one of the US ADs about shipping it to me to Europe. Fantastic dial. Can you tell what made you choose this one out of the two available options? I seem to prefer the 427 silvery option. But its of course the matter od taste. What puts me away from 429 is the shade of green applied in this model. Anyway, I understand those who prefer 429 over 427. Would be great if you could post more pics! Congrats once again!!! |

I loved the leather strap with green stitch, and thought it was like nothing I have in my collection. when I received the watch, I was blown away by how much more alive the dial is than I could have imagined!! it changes colours quite dramatically in different lighting.. 0P7A7626 (1).2.jpg 0P7A7626 (3).4.jpg 0P7A7626 (2).3.jpg

Thank you for sharing your insight. The photos you posted greatly reveal the nuances of the dial. Have a good day in Canada!

I am a huge fan of the Seiko Spring Drive, that is one beautiful watch I would love to have in my collection.
