My new snowflake

After a long hunt I just got my Samurai White Bunny. The dial is really magnificent. The details of the polishing and the lightweight of the titanium... What a great watch indeed.

Congrats. There is really nothing that comes close to the beauty, detail, finishing, and craftsmanship near that price point.

Love it! The SBGA211 is on my shortlist. I've heard that the GS bracelets aren't up to par with the rest of the watch. Do you find this to be true? My only white-dialed Seiko is my SARB035 on brown leather & deployant clasp. I'd do the same for the Snowflake when the time comes.

Thanks. It's not tacky at all. Not like the old hollow SS on sports models.

Positives:
Polish and finishing is really excellent.
The idea of Ti that looks elegant is nice.

Negatives:
Could be a bit of a pain as the clasp does not have adjustable holes. I personally does not mind that. Can be a bit "outdated" as well as the holes are not screwed in.

Hi, what does that mean that it doesn't have adjustable holes? How do you adjust/change links?

Watch looks gorgeous, btw.

Bracelet uses pins and sleeves. Need a hammer tool or pin removal tool.

Congratulations stunning watch

I looked at one January but ended up choosing the GMT instead.
