Another oomiya Osaka retailer LE - SBGA483
A new kid on the block. Finally.
Another special SNOWFLAKE model by oomiya GS retailer from Osaka. This time a 40mm Spring Drive white Snowflake with golden hands. Sort of like the standard one but IMHO the golden accents give it a new nice vibe. 100 pcs LE. ¥649.000 gross. ![]() ![]() bibbi |

It's nice, I like it. Tough to dislike a Grand Seiko piece with their signature attention to detail and overall design traits.
How many limited editions do they now have? |

Looks really nice.
![]() The gold hands aren’t the only difference from the Snowflake: also a different case. ![]() |

I prefer this case to the original Snowflake.
The hour markers look nicer on this one too. Not sure how I feel about that power reserve being gold. I imagine if they had used the newer 5 day spring drive and put the PR on the caseback, then that would be very nice indeed!

Yes, all cluttered with decals, otherwise not a bad watch.

I’d rather they put a solid caseback and engrave it. This nonsense where they keep stamping over the glass on the back is awful. Reminds me of a deli front window advertisement.

[Insert another caseback comment]
Makes it look like a $200 watch.

There's one manager in Japan that loves that crap and spent a ton of money on the machine that does it. You'll have to wait until he retires to put a stop to it.
