Thanks again for all the kind words, guys!

I finally got wifi where I am now so I can post a few more pics. Some of the movement (the best I could do without removing the bracelet anyway) and a few more of the dial. It's hard to capture the awesomeness of the snowy dial, but in person it's mesmerizing.

Fantastic - love the snowflake. It's said to mimic the snow cover in the Suwa area. I have been there in the winter and it really does

I didn't make it to Suwa, but saw plenty of snow in Hakone.

I bought this one at Isetan in Shinjuku, but they had it everywhere I looked for the same price (aside from a store in Ginza where it was more expensive).

Very nice - I have only heard positive things about the Grand Seiko.

Very clean, classic look.

Thanks Dennis! I've been waiting for you to respond to this thread for a year and a half. Now they can finally close it down.
