Went to the Grand Seiko AD yesterday..

[importstunna]

I’ve seen the Snowflake before but didn’t like the titanium aspect bc I like some weight to my watches. Really enjoyed these two SS pieces and may have to add one to my collection soon..

Anyone with any of these for 1st hand review/feedback? That’d be much appreciated!

Not a direct answer to your question, but I also had a similar reaction to the Snowflake in terms of the lightness of the Titanium. Have you considered this option?

It's the only spring drive I know of that has a SS bracelet, and it looks a lot like the GMT that you posted.

Wow this is nice! I haven’t considered bc I didn’t know this existed. Thanks for sharing!

I have no experience with either but I have been looking at pics of that first watch with the cream dial every day now. So tempted to go for it! One of the cleanest looking watches I have ever seen.

Agreed! I am 100% sport watch person, but some of their dress watches are really nice. Vintage vibes with killer craftsmanship.

Very cool! How did you obtain a piece when it says for preorders only on the website?

They're probably shipping out in batches. If the preorder is still up, it may mean they still have some available. Only 250 pieces, I'm itching to pull the trigger but been spending too much on watches lately lol.

What Grimlock said. But I would venture to guess if you called Timeless Luxury that you could get your hands on one. They had one in the case, although it might have been taken already. My guess is there is a few of the 250 left

The first Grand Seiko I purchased was the Custard GMT two two one... its a great value for the price (right around 3500$ new) with the fabulous 9s movement.






to date, it's preformed flawlessly and over 30 days it's only picked up 31 seconds (never been regulated)

Great looking watch.

Wow! nice watches!

I'm a huge GS fan and have owned a few. You need to try them on before buying. Some of them are gorgeous in photos but wear too thick, for me, once I have them on the wrist.

I've owned the high beat GMT and can say it's a stunning piece. The dial and case finishing are out of this world.

Pre-GS split Hi-Beat GMT owner here (ref SBGJ001)... great watch. Tremendous depth in the grained sunburst dial. Visually stunning. Great lines. Very Seiko. Super sharp and faceted edges. Keeps great time. I love the 40mm size, thickness, and heft. Very well made. Feels like it could cost 3x.

I just picked up the SBGJ201 a few weeks ago and it quickly became my favorite in the collection. That Mt. Iwate dial is truly unique and I love how you have to see it up close to really appreciate it. Also glad I finally have a white dial watch since the rest are black or blue dials. To top it off, it's keeping excellent time at +1.5s/d. Highly recommend picking it up for yourself if you have the opportunity!
