Does a grand seiko bracelet shine?

[JSolution]

Hi. I have been considering buying a grand seiko spring drive, snowflake. I am not knowledgeable on grand seiko whatsoever and have never seen one in person. I love the PCL’s on Rolex’s and how shiny they are. I have read the GS is very shiny how does it compare?

The Snowflase is titanium, so it will be less brilliant than “Oystersteel” (which is in keeping with the aesthetic of the watch). There are highly polished bits to add a bit of style, but not at all comparable to Rolex PCLs.

Up to you if that’s a good thing or something you don’t want.

Personally, I quite like the subtle feel of quality that GS exudes.

^yeap... titanium doesn't yield a mirror finish like steel.

Basically all their models shine except the one you are looking at. For me personally, everyone loves the snowflake for its dial but I’m of the view that their newer stuff all have amazing dials so I’m over the SF
