Just arrived! :)

I'm really happy with this one. Limited edition of 150 pieces for Thong Sia. Luckily my friend in Hong Kong was able to secure this piece for me. I'm really loving the dial, especially in the sun!

I have been collecting for around 12 years, with many of those years being an avid FPJ collector but in recent years I cannot go past Grand Seiko. As an overall package I feel they are unbeatable.

Looks great. Congratulations! Say, can you post more pictures of that dial? It would be good to see it in sunlight and more angles. Again, congrats.

I am in the same boat. I love watches in general but the GS total package is too strong to resist. Soon 6th incoming for me.

On the watch, huge congrats, that is a stunning dial. Enjoy for many years!!

Congrats on the 6th incoming. I honestly love all watches but like you said it's a hard brand to pass.

Congrats to OP, these are incredible. I've been stalking photos of them on IG. Literally the only thing I don't like about the 231 is that IMO with the new branding the dial looks a little too plain. This dial solves that little issue and then some. Unbelievable.

Agreed. The 231 is nice but the dial missed the mark for me as well. Green makes it a whole new animal. Love it.
