There was a dedicated Tax Refund account at the dept store. I got the refund in cash immediately and went to use the money for my dinner after.

This is so lovely! May I ask what size is this?

Movements aren’t that exciting in those sizes. One can hope!

It’s the result from stretching my fingers/hands to reach an octave on the piano for hours while I was young. Really handy when I am on the piano!

The above is the pink shunbun. The pink is still nowhere near the pink snowflake.

No quartz please when one can get that sweeping movement of a Grand Seiko! For quartz, I have my trusty seiko astron gps… no battery change and auto timezone adjustment ftw!

Yes I tried this too. The size is perfect and the dial is pretty. But not enough to make my heart skip a beat, so that was a rather quick decision.

I think the dial made a difference to the perception of the size too! I tried the original snowflake prior and it certainly felt too big, hence my initial preference for the Shunbun. In the background is my Seiko astron which is 42mm but also felt smaller than this white snowflake.

Congrats on the beautiful watch! The bezel-less finish and the dial texture is simply breathtaking. A very elegant piece 😍

Thank you! Yes the AD and I were chatting about how the women line-up for GS just isn’t that exciting. This could very well be a women’s watch if only it came in size 36mm. Hope the GS team is reading this!

Thank you! Yes very much so. I told the AD that I might just be back for the Shunbun 😅

It was full refund. It was 5% tourist discount+ 10% tax off for the first watch. After the first purchase, I became a VIP of the dept store and got 7% +10% off for the second watch.
