Have to say this needs to be the model going forward. Rolex seems to understand as well pushing releases closer to May instead of early fall.

Striking whilst the iron is still hot, is the phrase most of us are familiar with.
Makes perfect common sense, rather than trying to re-ignite the interest 6-8 months later, and with other products competing for the potential buyers’ attention.

I think it is a good move on GS's part not to have their customers waiting. Only a few brands can do it, e.g. Rolex. I have a GS, which I have purchased a few months ago.

Dang, that's nice.

Congrats!

Your gonna love the hi-beat, have had mine approx 3 years. Fun to watch it tick, so very smooth. Reminds me of my old Accutron without the hum. Mine settled in about 2 to 3 sec fast in 24 hrs.

I don't like that they're aren't enough micro adjustments on the clasp other than that it's an awesome watch.

Congrats!

I think you done good I got to try it on "for size" and it's a winner.
Dial, markers, GS applied logo and that amazing case!

I already have a 126600 SD, Tudor Pepsi and Seiko SLA025 on this year's shopping list - otherwise I would have moved on it.





Enjoy it

My favorite SIHH 2018 release from Seiko, congrats! I also agree that GS bracelets tend to leave a bit to be desired when compared to the oyster bracelet.

Congratulations!
I saw it at Baselworld and as soon as I put my hands on it I knew I have to have it.

Thanks guys! Still loving this one and it is dominating wrist time during the week. I have really warmed up to the Japanese aesthetic.

Love that strap chip! I have contemplated buying a few straps to try myself
