GS in the house.

[Imitation of Life]

I was going to keep this watch a secret until I was ready to post my impressions (which are generally great), but wschofield3 convinced me to throw up some photos. They're not great and don't capture the dial all that well, but I don't have the patience to play around with lighting today.

At the height of it all, it was between this and the SBGA109. In the end, I didn't think the 109's dial and the fact that the movement was assembled by Seiko's "elite" watchmakers justified the price difference. I'm also inclined to believe that the Snowflake will become a classic, whereas the 109 will be yet another GS limited edition.













I waited four or five years to see GS in person. Some were terribly underwhelming, while others, like this one, caught my eye--I never expected to love the Snowflake because I disliked it in photos. But you know how it goes: once it's on your wrist and you like the look, the rest is history.
