Winter is coming
I've been a Rolex guy for a long time and due to the current state of the Rolex market, I decided to add a Grand Seiko to my collection, and boy am I glad I did! My SBGA415 says hi
The finishing is of course superb, but since this is my first titanium piece, the lack of weight definitely takes some getting used to. My Sea Dweller feels as heavy as a rock right now :-D

Very nice! Congratulations. I love that dial & the pink one - such beauties.
Snow is literally in the forecast next week for me... sigh! |

Thanks. The Spring season (pink) one looks amazing as well, but I personally find this one a bit more versatile.

Looks good.
I'd like to see a well worn titanium GS to see how it holds up. |

When I buy a GS I will wear it daily and it’ll get beat on heavily. I wonder if it would look pretty yucky compared to getting a submariner and beating it up heavily. Not a huge deal. But I know that black polish is a hallmark and I’d scratch the hell out of it in a few months and probably ruin the finish. Maybe they will make a case with little black polish on outside and just do the inside where it’s safe from my ogre hands. |

Thanks and congrats as well, love the piece! I was in fact pondering whether to get it instead of Winter, but the spring drive movement & dial won me over in the end.

Great watch...congrats
That case style goes way back to the first automatic Grand Seiko in the 1960s.
