I'm lucky to have been given a confirmed allocation but would love to know when these will hit showrooms. Going away for my 40th next month and wondering if I will be able to collect before I depart. Anyone get a steer on the exact timeframe? Thanks

Locust · 26 November 2021, 07:41 AM

December

That’s as specific as I’ve been given

JC180 · 26 November 2021, 07:59 AM

Ok thanks I know it's December wondered if early mid or late etc...

bibbi · 26 November 2021, 08:48 AM

I think I read that the launch date is scheduled for Dec 10.

JC180 · 26 November 2021, 10:34 AM

That's helpful, thanks.

Good information.

JC180 · 26 November 2021, 10:45 PM

Assuming its accurate

swish77 · 27 November 2021, 12:42 AM

Regardless of release date, please let us know when yours arrives. And post photos! I’m fascinated by this reference ever since seeing a display example.

Will this be available beyond limited edition ?

Not heard of any such news.

That’s what I was told by my AD too.

Cool video (I think), but as usual it doesn’t capture the beauty and nuances of this blue textured dial. Toward the end, at about the 6:30 mark, you see more of what it looks like in the flesh, going from a darker blue to turquoise.

Jealous of those who have been allocated one these!

tom2517 · 2 December 2021, 06:14 PM

They have hit the market.

Saw that also. Def pass for me with those thick markers and chopped hands.

Yeah, I don’t understand why they did that to the hour hand. Grand Seiko has the bast hands in the business… until now. (Just speaking for my personal taste, of course.)

jdom · 7 December 2021, 09:58 AM

Hoping they start to show up in the US soon! Feels like forever now.

Thanks for the IG links. They are so beautiful!

TimeAZ · 7 December 2021, 04:37 PM

Date wheel kills it for me. Really clashes with the rest of the dial. I think the 22mm non-tapered bracelet is also a straw that breaks the camel's back, so to say.

samson66 · 7 December 2021, 10:17 PM

Nice picture from the WUS thread

For some reason the brushed bezel and lugs are really bugging me. I think this watch would look better with more polishing on the case.

Yeah like you said, it’s personal taste. I can understand some people don’t like it, but I actually love it. It’s different from their other models and it makes a lot of sense actually when you think about it.

The hour markers are very thick and have an indentation in the middle. The hour hand is also very thick and has the same indentation. If the hour hand would be pointy it would look too thin next to those big markers, so they chopped it off to be visually just as wide as the endpoints of the hour markers.

So… everything related to hours has the same look and design. Everything related to minutes and seconds is smaller so those elements are more pointy. It makes a lot of sense. Whether you like it, is just taste :)

Can’t wait for my allocation to arrive.

Locust · 18 December 2021, 06:44 AM

Mine came in. It was the 2nd one at my AD.

moosekraft · 19 December 2021, 05:52 AM

My awesome AD got 2. I got the second one out of pure luck. They just put it out when I was in there. The dial jumped up and smacked me in the face and I pulled the trigger. All great seikos have great dials but this one is a standout.
