Love this shot from hodinkee

I snagged a 275, but admit this is the one that seems to photograph very differently so I’m not certain what I’m going to get.

All of them look lovely and I am not sure there is a bad choice here…

I noticed the online only 275 has a month later delivery date (November vs October for the other two)

any idea why?

Looking back, I see what you mean.
The teal looks like it interacts with the light in many ways
Chameleion dials are great as they are always changing and you never get tired of them.

it will be a surprise when it arrives and I can't wait to see it (or any of these really) when these begin to arrive

275 for me. Worst case, should retain value if want to swap. Stunning.

[WatchEater666]

The movements look so much better manual wind than auto...congrats to everyone who picked one up. Those colorways are stunning too. Love that darker green.

[tjantheman]

I went for the 275. It was my favorite. I kind of wish I’d bought one of the other ones too.

[Bearxj86]

I don't think you can go wrong with any of these. They are all stunning.

[Ichiran]

I'm jeolous of US Seiko enthusiasts....

[illiguy]

For US brethren, surprised the 275 isn’t sold out yet. It must be close given only 140 available and a few here on TRF accounting for that already small universe.

It’s interesting. It showed as sold out a couple of hours ago. I guess some cancelled orders.

My friend just purchased one literally a minute ago. So … I think going to be sold-out by 12 pm ET (my guess).

I’ve never been so confused regarding what a watch would look like or which dial is best lol I almost always know immediately what I would prefer. Here I’m genuinely lost

Wonder if a few flippers decided to cut bait gauging demand based on sell out times. Haven't been this excited since the SBGM235.

What I said wasn't meant to dispute your claim. What I was saying is some people canceled orders and therefore more opened up. Another possibility is GS had an issue with their website. As of midnight EST the 275 was showing up as sold out.

That's what I was thinking. I was definitely surprised this didn't sell out immediately. Probably a combination of LE fatigue, late in the day announcement, not super easy directions regarding ordering process and limited publication (only saw this on the GS Instagram, Hodinkee and ABtW).

Either way, I'm glad I got mine. Super excited to see this dial in person.

[Oyster Sauce]

Absolutely beautiful...looking forward to seeing the "incoming" threads when folks take delivery of these.

Didn’t take it that way at all. So, all good!

[illiguy]

… and sold out.

I think you pretty much nailed it.

All 3 winners - I’m still seeing 275 online

[KBM]

Gorgeous pieces. Congrats to those who snagged one!

[chiscott_29]

The 275 goes from “Sold Out” to “Pre-Order Now”. So, either there is a lot of changing of minds, or GS is going to have some explaining to do.

I have to admit I am a bit surprised these are not sold out if they are only 140 pieces. Granted, you’d have to be somebody that watches the watch news to even know about these, and then of course it’s US only.

They must be having some issue on this particular model or the site. Now it states ships by April 2022?

[Slackergirl]

I just ordered the 275. First Grand Seiko for me. I checked and have 30 days to return so figured no risk...plus if it is an April 2022 ship date I will have lots of time to ponder my purchase.

Yes, I see it as well. Ordered a 275 yesterday when it showed an earlier ship date. I wonder if this new date is for certain orders or is a new ship-date affecting all orders placed for this model?

I just came back to the forum to check on this as well.

The 275 now shows April 2022 delivery. Can’t figure out if that applies for the orders we placed yesterday as well that showed November 2022.

Do you guys see any indication on your order confirmation?

[samarth1]

Came here to keep an eye on this thread and what everyone thinks about these beautiful new releases. I too placed an order for the SGBW275 as soon as I saw it (got my order confirmation email at 7:39pm ET to be exact). I'm hoping that we're indeed looking at Nov 2021 deliveries for everyone who placed orders yesterday. I can't imagine if they'll be that backed up for it to fall to the April 2022 dates we're currently seeing on the GS website.

[GB-man]

GS decided to make it limited edition of 1400 now jk
