For those that couldn't get with the Sakura color but loved the dial pattern.

https://grandseikogs9club.com/chroni...-spring-drive/

In a classic blue with a nice price @ 5k vs the retail $6600 of the SBGA413.... (Granted stainless vs titanium)

TimeAZ · 10 November 2021, 02:51 PM

Dial looks beautiful. Wish they used the same case as the Winter and Spring editions.

Still waiting for a Snowflake update to the 5 day spring drive and the new SLGA series case... that might be my next watch.

Moondoggy · 10 November 2021, 03:02 PM

I think they have nailed it. Think I might bite the bullet my first GS.

Moondoggy · 10 November 2021, 06:58 PM

Website says dial is cream a bit sloppy.

DJ2020 · 10 November 2021, 09:36 PM

Yes, I think they nailed this one as well. The lug length may be a little long. Will have to try it on and see how it wears.

TheoBeidler · 11 November 2021, 12:13 AM

Dang, this ones a beaut!

samson66 · 11 November 2021, 12:37 AM

Wow this looks great! Nice price and dimensions too.

The wrist shot looks great

Cru Jones · 11 November 2021, 01:32 AM

Beauty.

PBJ1925 · 11 November 2021, 02:22 AM

I'm trying to talk myself out of a pre-order but really can't find a reason... that wrist shot above is fantastic.

Shut up and take my money!
Is this US exclusive only?
What a beauty

Seems like Boutique online only, not sure about how really limited, limited is as they didn't list a number. Also saw it in the AU market:

https://grandseikoboutique.com.au/product/SBGA469

Conversions indicate slightly more at the moment our friends down under have to pay when comparing AU Dollars vs USD.

DJ2020 · 11 November 2021, 05:19 AM

Oh that wrist shot does it. Okay, count me in!

Locust · 11 November 2021, 06:14 AM

5K. Fantastic watch for that. They did the same value prop with the Soko models as well. Love that they are doing that w/ their spring drives while going up a bit in price with the 9sA5 and 9RA2/5 models.

jswing · 11 November 2021, 06:17 AM

Saw that last night and it's gorgeous.

I put in my preorder today! I love everything about this piece. The size, same dial color and pattern as the SBGC238, Spring Drive, and the price!

Also in the UK at GBP 4300, so about $5700, so given sales tax in most US states, not far off...

This one does tick an awful lot of boxes....

quakeroatmeal · 12 November 2021, 02:08 AM

Wow, it's already sold out!

Surprised it went so quickly because I do not believe it was widely broadcasted outside of a recent GS Newsletter.

Signed up for the e-mail notification, perhaps they'll open it back up.

Moondoggy · 12 November 2021, 11:02 AM

Just ordered one.......can't wait to get my first GS!!!!!!

Bruin20 · 12 November 2021, 05:59 PM

This can’t be sold out already. I’m guessing online store is just out of stock. It’s not a numbered limited edition just distribution limited.

Moondoggy · 12 November 2021, 06:19 PM

That’s how GS operate, distribution limited not limited edition.

Stranger · 15 November 2021, 12:27 AM

I wonder how limited it's going to be. It does say limited edition on the back if I'm not mistaken.

It does say Limited Edition on the case back. No idea how limited it will actually be.

PBJ1925 · 4 December 2021, 07:28 AM

Got a note, the first batch of shipments are going out next week!

Moondoggy · 5 December 2021, 11:20 AM

Woo Hoo, can't wait!

Rrpdc · 9 December 2021, 09:59 AM

Should arrive tomorrow! Can’t wait to see the dial.
