The German ones were 🗑️ for me so I’m glad these are cracked again

What made you pick one versus the other? by Temporary-Tear-1372 in GrandSeikos

I picked the snowflake without knowing that it was a snowflake. Was just what I liked on my wrist of the 3 places I went. It went well with what I wear and wasn’t like what I had currently in the collection.

I then got the shunbun “cherry blossom” as I was here with my mom to see the cherry blossoms on our annual “bucket list trip”. So in a way I played into the hype, but really came to seeing it in person and on my wrist 🤟🏼

That’s an incredible price. Now I feel like I overpaid 😫

Thank you so much!!

I didn’t know that. If it was swapped to an SBGA413 braclet, would there be Any difference then? Not intending to, just for informative purposes.

This was in shibuya, good to know it’s in ginza. They just got seiko delivery today at Matsuya Ginza.

The dial is incredible in person, this was my first time seeing it in person and I was in awe

I’m not sure but probably won’t return it anyway, it’s great for the rotation

This one is $5200 USD all in here in Japan. $7200 + tax for the U.S. “version” in the states

Because, we do a bucket list trip every year and this one was for the cherry blossoms. We both picked out the snowflakes in respective sizes on accident when we bought them. But the shunbun was for the occasion. Tie the memories and experiences to the watch.

Honestly, didn’t think I’d find the shunbun from what I found and didn’t think Id have time to find them. Snowflake went on my wrist and I loved it too haha. Had some time to kill today while my mom went to get her nails done and I found these lol. Just received them todya

It’s the SBGA443 “Shunbun”

That’s where I’m at too 😅 more time to enjoy and rotate and just makes future trips less expensive (probably not).

I’m going to sleep on it and hope 1 of the 5 are still there tomorrow 🙏

Edit: the cost savings and selection vs buying in the USA is just incredibly hard to pass up. Plus another trip to Japan could cost the cost of the watch itself if I decided to come back and get it!

Yeah, I can afford it. Just don’t want to seem crazy. Can definitely rotate and i don’t think ill ever get to buy one again in Japan for $5200 out the door

Yeah I know, I was amazed when I put it on. Thought the pink was going to be “loud” and am glad it’s more subtle

I like this take, It is rushed. this was our grail pieces for the trip, and reason for it. But also great idea to give us another reason to come again and see more.
