One of the Reason Why I love Grand Seiko

Is that I can take super clear shots like these.

It's shots like that which make me think GS has the best dial and hand finishing in the world. That is really something.

The hour markers also look amazing :)

(If I’m not mistaken, these are hand-polished)

The snowflake dial is classic and great and all - but that brushed dial you have is amazing. I would totally pick that over the snowflake (or other) dial(s) if I had the opportunity to choose.

I think similar dials exist on other GS models, but not on Springdrive. This is a sunburst silver dial that can take the color hues of its surrounding light.

Yup, a smartphone. And an old model at that, Samsung Note 5.
