I bought the Snowflake when it first came to the US. They gave me a huge discount to buy it. Never thought it would be so popular. It is probably my favorite watch.
Great choice and lovely to hear you're still enjoying it.
I have two grand seiko watches. My favourite is the white birch, spring drive SLGA009. Great watch. The white birch dial, 5 day power reserve and perfect accuracy. Automatic.
I also have the SLGH013, hi beat. Lovely dial and different movement.
Lovely watches! The SLGH013 is massively underrated in the marketplace, in my opinion. The SLGH013 and the SBGY011 should be on top sellers lists. Rob
Great to see you back making videos!!
I have to admit the 62gs models are something else!! Winter is my favorite, I just wish they added a cap on the seconds hand like the other variants have
Great to see you here. Congratulations on your channels continued success. Would love to hear more of your feedback on future videos. Wishing you the best. Rob
I recently bought an SLGH013 from a trip to Japan. Saved a lot of $ buying it there and it's an absolutely incredible timepiece.
Great video thank you. Love your enthusiasm for GS. I am loving my new SBGH331 at the moment plus a host of other GS's and other peices.
Thank you. Great watch, love the rotor weight on that piece. Thanks for watching and being a part of the community.
Love them all
The Shunbun is so beautiful 😍
Great video Rob, I'm lucky to have been able to buy both the Snowflake and the Cherry Blossom great watches. I'm now considering what to purchase next as a retirement present to myself. I do like the Skyflake, I've got time to think and might pop to the boutique in Bond St to have a look. Seasons greetings 🙂
Hi Paul. Hope you had a great festive period. Great choice of watches you have there, congratulations. May sure to check out the Omiwatari alongside the Skyflake. Could be a good option given you have the Snowflake dial in white.
White Birch is tops for me. The case, the dial, the hands and best of all is the high beat 80 hrs reserve and gorgeous movement.
Hear Hear. Its the full package. Worthy GPHG winner.
SBGM221 should now be called the Shohei or the Ohtani, since he wore it for his record breaking contract earlier this month
We were very pleased to see this one on his wrist :)
Love the Shunbun & Omiwatari they’re on the list, when I win the lottery 😉
The white birch looks awesome too, but is a little too big when I tried it on (perhaps in 38mm?).
Love Grand Seikos so Thats Why iam Here😁
Great to have you here :)
Many thanks. Beautiful content .
I wish you could make a review for the beautiful SBGY 009 .
Many thanks in advance.
With great love and appreciation
Nizar
Thank you. Ah, the High Moon. Lovely watch. I'm a big fan of the 44GS on a strap. Just picked up the SBGY011 recently. Rob
I’ve always called the SBGM221: butter. It’s like the view from inside the Grand Seiko’s cafeteria.
The third watch - the ice-blue model, is a work of art. £7,800 is a big number though.
Great video Rob, would love to see a review of the new SBGH337 !
Thanks for your feedback, Edwin. Noted! We did explore that option, I think Watches of Switzerland have their hands on them all now though. Hopefully we can do something collaboratively. Wishing you a great holiday period.
I would get the winter spring drive, or the sbgp001 (44GS on a slim case thanks ot the quartz movement).
Cherry Blossom and Snowflake! Was torn between these two for my first GS but the case on the 413 just shaded it for me. Would love to see a Snowflake dial in a 44GS
It exists, look up the SBGA483
Congratulations, its a beautiful watch. Often is a toss up between those two.
I've got the shunbun. Might suggest the Urban Bamboo to a colleague of mine
Congratulations on your watch, its a great choice! I do like the green dial on the Bamboo too. I often wear the Rikka as I like the green/gold combination.
SBGM221. I would call it Fujimi (富士見), which literally means "looking at Mt Fuji". And you can see Mt Fuji from the Suwa Seiko factory.
Omiwatari for me
My nick name for the SBGM221 would be Creme Brulee or perhaps more fittingly spelt Creme 'Blu'lee for its creme dial and blue seconds hand.
great summary of a fantastic brand...which would be more fantastic for those of us with smaller wrists IF the bracelets could ALL have FEMALE end links....can you pass this up the line to GS HQ please Rob???.....female end links would widen the appeal of these watches enormously in my humble opinion, no negatives for big wristed guys (or gals) but deffo some of the watches wear WAY bigger due to the lack of FEL's......
Grand Seiko Japan always actively seek feedback from the different offices worldwide to hear community/market views. Your comment has been noted :)
I like the look of the SGBM221 but wish it was spring drive.
Its a stunning piece. The majority of GS customers buy Spring Drive, given its exclusivity and impressive craftsmanship. I like the sound of some Spring Drive elegance pieces with a classic ivory dial.
I have 2 x SBGF's (with the fabulous but little known 8J56 quartz movement) and a SBGR053....all 37mm but still with a sizeable 49mm lug to lug....female end links could reduce this by at least 2-3mm.....SIZE REALLY DOES MATTER :)
SBGM221 should be called "Washi" like the traditional Japanese paper that's a similar color to the ivory
Ah, yes. I can see that. Good call.
SBGM221 - Blue Arrow
#1-SBGM221: Ivory
Nice, classy :)
The only thing standing between my love for these and owning one is ...money! LOL
The SBGM221 will be known by the professional baseball player Shohei Ohtani. Aka “Shotime” since he’s consistently spotted wearing the watch.
Indeed! Saw he wore it for his recent contract signing. Looked great.
The SBGA413 scratches way too easily. I'm not sure why GS didn't use Diashield to protect against scratching. I sold this watch because of the scratching and I am done with Grand Seiko.
Несколько раз чуть не купил GS, но всё время в последний момент что то останавливало, какой то внутренний голос… «зачем тебе часы, выглядящие, как часы пенсионера»)
Hi ,I can up with the smurf gmt ........your welcome
There is only one GS to own, the Shunbun
I thought the shunbun SBGA413 is a US exclusive?
It was initially launched in the US only and then went global.
I like titanium, a 5-day power reserve and the indicator on the back, but that means SLGA019, and that is very expensive, so I'll stick with my Kinetics for now. Plus, I'm curious to see what's announced in Geneva in April.
SLGA019 and 021 are very cool watches. We'll try ensure to add some content to the channel for the W&W releases while we're there!
I want to add a Grand Seiko to my small collection, preferbly a Spring Drive but for some reason the models that I am interested in always comes with a deal breaker for me.
1. SBGM221 - water resistance only 30m. I will be afraid to wear this while playing with my kids. I believe its very easy for GS to improve the water resisitance of any of their models...
2. Snowflake - too big and chunky when I tried it on.
3. Omiwatari - Price and Water resistance 30m.
4. White Birch - too expensive compare to Snowflake or Shunbun IMO.
5. Shunbun - I can't get pass the hint of pink when I tried it on while "Winter" with same dial texture but is too dull.
Still waiting for the right one 😬
Don't sleep on their quartz versions...I have the SBGX263 and it gets a lot of wrist time! The perfect dimensions and Zaratsu polishing sealed the deal for me.
SBGA489 Black dial Heritage Katana is something to look at. It’s a strong looking watch.
Hi. People often want to go for a Spring Drive first, being an exclusive movement. Great to hear of your enthusiasm, and also your commitment to finding something thats right for you. What I would say to the above is not to worry about the spec of 30m water resistance. I haven't heard of anyone having issues with daily wear. I own a couple myself and I worry more about the leather straps on my watches than the watch itself regarding water. Rob
@@mastertcoaching4785 The SBGX261 was next in line to be on this list as a best seller. Those quartz models do very well!
@@bayflowshow65 Nice watch. It will depend on his location, as that one is a US exclusive.
They should just call the sbgm221 "The Ivory"
Nice, classy!
Never seen anyone with such pointy teeth before. Very dangerous looking fella. Personally a big fan of the 37mm handwound elegance watches, we need more of those on the bracelets.
Which is your favorite in that design? We decided to go for that style for our European exclusive this year. Not to worry, I'm not in the habit of biting people :)
@@GrandSeikoUK I'm not such a big fan of the creamy dials, but then again i have not seen them in person. sgbw305, 283 are my favourites. Some day i would love to own a 283 on the 305's bracelet. And if i had complete control, i would transplant a blued seconds on it as well to just melt into that dial. That would be the dream dress watch. ;))))
@@fVNzO Indeed! That is a great looking one. Good call on a blued seconds hand. That combo works well for the Skyflake.
من فضلك عندي ساعة pierpont نسائية قديمة ميكانيكية وهي بحالة جيدة واريد بيعها60000$ وعندي ساعة Sndoz قديمة رجالية ميكانيكية لكن في مشكلة بسيطة بالميناء ولكنها تعمل بشكل جيد 60000 $ وساعة sirgint بحالةجيدة 10000$ وساعة ام صليب قديمة يلزمها قليل من الاصلاح واريد بيعها 20000 $

Omiwatari for me
Great choice!
