Congrats! That’s a beauty! I love the texture and light play on that dial. I can’t wait to see one in person rather than just photos.

Wow that was fast. . Thanks for the pictures because it always looked white to me in other shots but I see a Beautiful silver dial there! And very thin for GS! Hope they stay on that size footprint for future models.

A few observations:
It sits very flat, the case contours around my wrist, think GMT2 vs BB588. but it does feel more substantial and compact than the BB58. The dial is definitely more silver than white, under some light it has a very metallic look. The bracelet does not have a micro-adjust clasp, however it does come with 2 half-links, the half-links are more like 2/3 links I was able to get a very very good fit. Compare to previous steel GS, this watch does feel A LOT more balanced on the wrist, i think this is due to the thinner case(sits flat) and the thicker and wider bracelet, now i understand why they made the bracelet 22mm at the lugs. the bracelet DOES have a very small taper, i think its 22mm at the lugs and 20mm clasp, but i can be wrong about the exact width. They are more brushed surfaces than polished, a bonus for me. As for the movement, it does look a step up from their previous gens'. |

Wow! As the kids say, that's sick!
Grand Seiko must have the most beautiful, interesting dials in the industry. Not saying they're the best, because that's subjective, but at least GS is always trying something new and innovative. |

How is the bracelet? I know it's not tapered, and T Mosso says its "rolex levels", but as far as I can tell the clasp is the same.
