Picked this up today and wasn’t even looking to buy a Grand Seiko but this is a stunner in person. Didn’t appreciate these enough.

Thanks JR. Have a BLNR 5167 15300 PAM1392 and this one is going to get a lot of wrist time I can tell. Hard to justify in the pics IMO.

Very nice. I did get to handle one at the GS AD in Orlando and really liked it.

These are selling out fast and are trading over retail in Asia. I've actually sold around 8 of them myself.

Congratulations. This is the watch that finally made me step into the world of Grand Seiko. I can not say enough good things about this watch and when I wear it, I do not want to take it off.

Well done with pic as shows how this face really has a life of own as ever changing...Not seeing many with the brown and blue strap. I think thats a killer combo

I bought this watch yesterday and was at store buying the Deville Hour glass perpetual but saw this and called audible. I was so impressed with the finish on this watch that you really need to see it. I truly believe if GS gets a good marketing plan for North America and Europe this brand will be right in light with JLC. I know thats bold but finish is outstanding as I compared with my VC overseas maltese bezel and this is every bit the quality. Movement is sturdy, attractive, and accurate. Time will tell but product wise is beyond on point

Agree. The pictures don’t do this watch justice. I was not intending to buy it but once you see it and try it on I couldn’t pass up. Ran +5 seconds for the entire month I had it.

GS is absolutely smoking some of the traditional heavy hitters when it comes to what they're doing with dials.

Wear it in good health! I love the dial. when I put out ours every day I fall in love with it even more. That said, It is hard to decide between this and the standard snowflake though, I don't think I can pull off the blue.

I picked one up on New Year's Eve and really love it. I thought that the blue might be difficult to live with, but blends well because the way the dial changes in different lighting makes it very subtle.

Of course, I am so impressed with this watch, I'll probably pick up a snowflake in the very near future, too.

That's great to hear. I just bought one also and would also like a VC Overseas blue dial in the future.

Which brand tool are you using to change out the bracelet and straps?
