I think I know the pros of this watch, does anyone have regrets with this piece? If I’m seriously considering getting this piece are there any owners that have had a bad experience with this piece?

Thanks, I managed to find a store with one, so I bought it on a whim, I’ve never seen it in person though. Waiting for it to arrive

Now they seem pretty hard to find, were they hard to find when they came out?
Do you think these will be collectible one day?

Thanks for posting the pic! I can’t get over the lugs! I think that’s really what pulled me in! This is weird for me because at this price I can buy a Rolex already and I’ve never owned a Grand Seiko, so it’s weird that I jumped in on this watch, I can’t wait to see it in person, i guess the only way to know it’s a keeper is to see it in the flesh

You need to see this watch in person. It’s been +3 seconds per month for me and hard to tell how great it looks. I went in looking one day for something else and I couldn’t pass it up. I think they will do very well over time but that’s just my opinion. GS very addictive so be careful 😀

It’s a great watch and coming with a bracelet and 2 unique straps is a real plus.

The only thing I didn’t like is the non matching date wheel but how could they pull that off?

Since I already have a Snowflake (SBGA011) I passed on the SBGA387 and opted for the blue dial SBGA375. I’m pretty sure the case and bracelet on the 387 and 375 are the same.

The finish on these watches is just amazing and blows away Rolex.

For anyone complaining about the inability to find a stainless Rolex, I’d recommend GS.

I really enjoy my 387 and it is a great wearing and looking watch. I have just really gotten into Grand Seiko but the ones that seem to do the best in retaining value and selling for more are the hard to get or LE pieces. I think you will enjoy this watch. Congratulations.

I just got it! The watch is great! The bracelet can be more solid, and the straps really don’t look good on this watch, they are shiny and way to thin, they seem very feminine and don’t fit the watch. My two cents
