This is quite possibly the greatest Seiko - Snowflake video I've ever found. It will be mine. (the watch.. not the video...)

That salesman in BH always claims to have one left. He brings it out of a cabinet, it’s never in the display case.

I was looking for something different because frankly I was a little fed up with the hype Rolex is trying to create over mass produced stainless steel sport watches. Bought the Snowflake a month ago and to date it has lost 2 seconds, pretty freaking amazing for, to me, a mechanical watch.
I switched to my 110460 after 2 weeks and I switched nack to the Snowflake after 2 days because I missed looking at that blued second hand gliding over that beautiful dial, and the polishing on those hands and markers.

Beautiful. Just wish their bracelets were up to the same standard as their watches.

The bracelets are, it's just the adjustment that is the problem. But should you be lucky to get it sized right they are fantastic bracelets.

Furthermore, as you can see towards the end of that video they look incredible on brown leather straps.
