Great shots Jocke!

Although with the lighting, the dial looks silver in some of the pictures.

From my experience it’s always bright white.

The level of finishing on these for a 5k watch is absolutely incredible.

There is another version of the Snowflake for Japan Domestics Market. It has gold hands and hour markers.

With the marco shots, I fail to see how it looks like freshly fallen snow. Looks more like a slab of cut granite as opposed to a field of snow.

That is correct the dial is more white than grey I have deliberately reinforced the effect of the dial and then it will be a little darker.

Everything gets distorted when you get close enough.

Jocke's post literally spurred me to head to a dealer earlier today to see it in person. It wasn't in the display case but I asked and they had one in the back. I looked at the blue one at the same time. Both my wife and I prefer the white based on first impressions. Salesperson said white is harder to come by, but blue is a limited run of 1500 pieces.





Not great pics but hey, I'm not Jocke

I could not choose. I would be rendered speechless and covered in drool. Both so stunning. GS just does it right, all the way right.
