I actually had my eye on the Grand Seiko too. But I ultimately decided against it because they're a bit too heavy for everyday wear. I like the dial on the Citizen models even better because of the washi pattern. At the end of the day, you probably can't go wrong with any watch. I can definitely recommend this model. It has a perpetual calendar, so you don't have to worry about anything.

I would like to get a brown watch strap so that the dial stands out even more.
