I snagged a 275, but admit this is the one that seems to photograph very differently so I’m not certain what I’m going to get.
All of them look lovely and I am not sure there is a bad choice here… Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I noticed the online only 275 has a month later delivery date (November vs October for the other two)
any idea why? |

The teal looks like it interacts with the light in many ways Chameleion dials are great as they are always changing and you never get tired of them. it will be a surprise when it arrives and I can't wait to see it (or any of these really) when these begin to arrive |

275 for me. Worst case, should retain value if want to swap. Stunning.

The movements look so much better manual wind than auto...congrats to everyone who picked one up. Those colorways are stunning too. Love that darker green.

I went for the 275. It was my favorite. I kind of wish I’d bought one of the other ones too.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of these. They are all stunning.

For US brethren, surprised the 275 isn’t sold out yet. It must be close given only 140 available and a few here on TRF accounting for that already small universe.

I’ve never been so confused regarding what a watch would look like or which dial is best lol I almost always know immediately what I would prefer. Here I’m genuinely lost

What I said wasn't meant to dispute your claim. What I was saying is some people canceled orders and therefore more opened up. Another possibility is GS had an issue with their website. As of midnight EST the 275 was showing up as sold out.

Either way, I'm glad I got mine. Super excited to see this dial in person.

The 275 goes from “Sold Out” to “Pre-Order Now”. So, either there is a lot of changing of minds, or GS is going to have some explaining to do.
I have to admit I am a bit surprised these are not sold out if they are only 140 pieces. Granted, you’d have to be somebody that watches the watch news to even know about these, and then of course it’s US only. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They must be having some issue on this particular model or the site. Now it states ships by April 2022?

I just ordered the 275. First Grand Seiko for me. I checked and have 30 days to return so figured no risk...plus if it is an April 2022 ship date I will have lots of time to ponder my purchase.

Yes, I see it as well. Ordered a 275 yesterday when it showed an earlier ship date. I wonder if this new date is for certain orders or is a new ship-date affecting all orders placed for this model?

The 275 now shows April 2022 delivery. Can’t figure out if that applies for the orders we placed yesterday as well that showed November 2022. Do you guys see any indication on your order confirmation? |

Came here to keep an eye on this thread and what everyone thinks about these beautiful new releases. I too placed an order for the SGBW275 as soon as I saw it (got my order confirmation email at 7:39pm ET to be exact). I'm hoping that we're indeed looking at Nov 2021 deliveries for everyone who placed orders yesterday. I can't imagine if they'll be that backed up for it to fall to the April 2022 dates we're currently seeing on the GS website.
