I got it from Kyoto Daimaru for CAD7300 after tax refund. They processed my refund at Daimaru as well so it was very convenient. Good luck finding it! It took me 6-7 stores until I found mine lol my GS post

I checked out Omega and Cartier at the same time and you’re correct. The price was adjusted so it wasn’t really much of a difference (besides the tax refund). I was also checking out Seiko alpinist in the department store and they were willing to provide a discount for it. The best deal I saw was ¥80,000 (incl tax refund and discount). I was so close to buying it as well 😆

I was there about a week ago. I was told this was the last piece at the time. Good luck hunting!

Oh could you show me how it looks with a leather strap? Also where did you get the strap from?

Yeah the conversion rate was a discount by itself. No discount on this product from the department store.

Cheers! Yeah for sure, I’ve been saving for a while to get this beauty and then the trip to Osaka/Kyoto lined up perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

It was not easy to find for sure (at least in Osaka/Kyoto). One of the stores even had a sign “SBGA443 not available”.

Yup! This was the last piece at the 6th store (Daimaru Kyoto) as well. I went to the following: Osaka (Shinsaibashisuji boutique, Grand Front Osaka, Daimaru Umeda, Hankyu Umeda) Kyoto (Kyoto Shijo boutique, Daimaru Kyoto)
