Absolutely love this watch. After trying on the SBGA 415 (413 wasn’t in stock) I much preferred the case and integration of the 62GS on the snowflake compared with the seasons collection.
I would have considered the SBGA387 as well but:
1. Wanted a titanium piece and
2. Loved the snowflake dial.

I normally don’t like white dial watches and even find the white dial on my Daytona 116500 to be rather ‘meh’. Not the case at all with snowflake. The hand finishing of the dial, hands, and case are just incredible.

Sorry for the error above. I meant I prefer the modern case dimensions and integration of the snowflake to the 62gs of the seasons collection

Thank you guys. I’ve become a total believer/convert, after being an owner of 3 royal oaks, 2 nautilus models, and several SS Rolexes......
the SBGA211 provides the quality/finishing of a watch that is 4-5 times its price point with the technology of a movement that is unmatched.
My only complaint— why has seiko not made a bracelet that has a micro adjustment?
It’s otherwise fantastic.

I totally agree.

The level of quality is far beyond the price you pay for it + it is stealth.

If you look at it closely hands and indexes are sharper than on a Patek Caltrava

I also agree on the bracelet. But knowing they are capable of doing much better I believe at some point there was a 99gr maximum weight target during design that led to that choice.

I have always wanted this watch. Very beautiful.

swink6112 · 1 September 2020, 05:24 PM

Congrats sir. Totally one of my grail watch.

rolexfanforlife · 1 September 2020, 08:15 PM

Awesome watch!! And I agree, I own some higher end models and GS is on par or above with the level of finishing. Enjoy it!

TimeAZ · 2 September 2020, 10:40 AM

Love mine. I'm almost too scared to wear it, don't want to damage it, it's just so beautiful and spectacular.

Been thinking about designing and 3D printing my own microadjustment implementation to add to the bracelet.

Lol — I was worried about the same ..... about not wanting Mark it. But I must say— it’s holding up really well to being worn almost daily.
I just love the way it wears and if it starts to get some marks, oh well.

Congrats - I'm still trying to decide between this or the skyflake but am leaning this direction. Love the shirt in the third pic, too!
