A new kid on the block. Finally.

Another special SNOWFLAKE model by oomiya GS retailer from Osaka.

This time a 40mm Spring Drive white Snowflake with golden hands. Sort of like the standard one but IMHO the golden accents give it a new nice vibe.

100 pcs LE. ¥649.000 gross.

It's nice, I like it. Tough to dislike a Grand Seiko piece with their signature attention to detail and overall design traits.

How many limited editions do they now have?

Moondoggy · 23 February 2023, 11:45 AM

I really like it.

Cru Jones · 23 February 2023, 04:35 PM

Looks really nice.

The gold hands aren’t the only difference from the Snowflake: also a different case.

TimeAZ · 23 February 2023, 05:15 PM

I prefer this case to the original Snowflake.

The hour markers look nicer on this one too.

Not sure how I feel about that power reserve being gold. I imagine if they had used the newer 5 day spring drive and put the PR on the caseback, then that would be very nice indeed!

Caseback is a mess...

Another day, another LE from GS

Yes, all cluttered with decals, otherwise not a bad watch.

I’d rather they put a solid caseback and engrave it. This nonsense where they keep stamping over the glass on the back is awful. Reminds me of a deli front window advertisement.

EEpro · 26 February 2023, 11:05 PM

[Insert another caseback comment]

Makes it look like a $200 watch.

There's one manager in Japan that loves that crap and spent a ton of money on the machine that does it. You'll have to wait until he retires to put a stop to it.
