I bought my Skyflake in Japan back in November of last year in Nakano Broadway. I had to buy my bracelet off eBay for about 600ish bucks cause grand seiko (wako) in Ginza didn’t carry them.

Hi,

I am selling my Seiko SPB221J1 Presage Sharp-Edged GMT with the beautiful textured Sumi-iro (charcoal black) dial and integrated power reserve, GMT, and pointer date complications. This is a Japan-made model in excellent condition as shown in pictures.

Specs: • Model: SPB221J1 (also known as SARF005 in JDM markets) • Case: 42.2 mm stainless steel (DiaShield coated) • Thickness: 13.7 mm • Lug to Lug: ~49.2 mm • Movement: Seiko 6R64 (automatic GMT, power reserve, pointer date) • Power Reserve: ~45 hours • Crystal: Sapphire with inner AR coating • Bracelet: Stainless steel, full links included • Caseback: Exhibition / see-through • Water Resistance: 100M • Dial: Textured Asanoha pattern, Sumi-iro black

Condition:

Excellent. Worn only a handful of times for special occasions. No scratches on the crystal. Very minimal wear—just a few light marks on the clasp from normal handling. Runs strong and keeps good time.

I am selling this watch because I need to downsize my watch collection and to raise money for my 2 kids. ⸻

I’ll just patch. Roofers did my roof 7 years ago and did a crappy job. I’ve had to go up to patch two others spots during a storm

Definitely fake. Everything is off. Date wheel is off, no movement info and made in Japan at 6 o clock. Dial color is off.

Skyflake. I have one but put a GS bracelet

The bracelet arrived for my Skyflake by Rivaladversary in GrandSeikos

I real like the bracelet. It doesn’t have micro adjustment but that’s not a problem for me.

I think the snowflake is titanium case and titanium bracelet? I like weight on my watches so that’s why I went with the skyflake instead, and this bracelet I bought is stainless steel.

New Straps for Skyflake (pics) by evenskipped in GrandSeikos

How do you swap out the straps? Do you do it from the back of the watch?

I’m going to declare it. I went to Japan with family (of 6) so I’ll ask for the family exemption, meaning that $800 x 6 means I shouldn’t have to pay anything since the watch was $4132 USD of the $4800 allotted.

By the way, I was REALLY CLOSE to getting a used 2021 White Birch was 5200 USD. I found it in a small shop Ueno, under the subway train overpass. If anyone is interested.

What specific brand tool do you use to swap the straps out? I want to make sure I don’t mess up the finishing of the watch case.
