Incoming-My first incoming post!

Just thought I would share my latest addition to my collection!
It’s a Snowflake SBGA211!
I had my eyes on this piece for a long time but never actually seen it in person. So, yesterday I finally stopped by my AD, saw it in the case and the rest is history.
The more I wear it the more I like it, such a attention to detail from GS, just amazing. However, the blue second hand motion is just wooww!

Thank you all, I like it more and more, can’t take my eyes off!
My wrist fluctuate from 7.50-7.75” but I think it looks just perfect on my wrist.
One observation though, the watch/bracelet is so light in comparison to my other SS watches. I almost forget that I have watch on the wrist.

Grand Seiko's finishing for the price point is next level. You will enjoy this for years to come. I'm just going through the first few weeks with mine as well and I cannot believe how much you get for the money. Even though mine was quite pricey.

Well hello neighbor, nice to know.
Actually, I am not from Detroit per say either.
I am about 23 miles north of the downtown.

I am still in the honeymoon stage.
I got it with 7% discount, so can’t complain
But you are right, the dial and the blue second hand are so mesmerizing!

+1 Even though GS has been knocking it out of the park lately with its dials, the Snowflake is still the icon of the line

Good choice... like you, it took me a while to add one to the collection.

You'll find that it looks equally nice on a strap.

It really does look good.
I was actually looking it up and not too many GS options.
I am still in the honeymoon but for sure it can be interesting.
