Have been looking at getting a grand Seiko for some time. Read that they are sold out in Tokyo. Went to the Ometeshandill Hill GS and they had received one yesterday based on someone giving me a tip from here. Couldnt get the extra 5% at the department store but was 860k out the door. so around 5400 usd. Excited!
Been looking for a watch to mark my 50th. Had been weighing a few options, but nothing really got my heart pumping. Until now. Walked into the boutique in NYC expecting to do my usual "just looking" routine and it was love at first sight. No photo of this piece can do it justice. Didn't even do my usual "I bet I can find it for less online" thing. I walked out with it.
Was deciding between Snowflake, Shunbun, and this White Birch. Just couldn't resist it.
I think the dial of White Brich looks so much better in person and the Snowflake is better for photo. Shunbun is stunning but I opted for this clean white dial instead of the pink hue, and that I didn't like Shunbun not having a pronounced bezel.
As for weight I like it heavier so I naturally went for the steel one.
One thing about the white birch is that I wish the bracelet looks less plain, the Snowflake and Shunbun ones are very nice.
Looking to get the SLGW003. Currently have a listing for $8300 USD total brand new boxes & papers.
This is the best price I’ve seen so far, but I wanted to ask others here if you’ve seen the latest SLGW003 prices around you or online, what the price is, and for those of you who bought one, what was your price and from where?
FYI I visit Japan in a few weeks so I’ll shop around there as well to see if I can find a better price, particularly with tax free. Thanks all.
A friend bought it for me in Japan. The deal was too good to resist, and while it is my second GS--I bought a Skyflake in late 24--there are many firsts here. It is my first Evo 9, first high beat GS and first manual wind, which I'm hoping I'll learn to enjoy more with time.
Its been 1 year of owning this beauty and it just keeps getting better 😍🌸
I originally thought this was an ‘ ice falls’ dial but was a little stunned to learn its white birch with hi best automatic. The dial transforms tone and pattern depending on ambient lighting and angle - just incredible. Had to have it! A beautiful watch.
Thinking about picking up this bad boy locally but it’s priced suspiciously low. Has an AM bracelet. Can i get some opinions on if it’s a clone or not.
Thanks
Deciding between the Snowflake and Shunbun, I visited the GS Boutique in New Orleans to see them in person while on vacation with my wife.
Still undecided at first, I returned the next day and chose the Shunbun! I love how its look changes with the light.
Purchased this shunbun (my first GS) used on eBay and it went through their authenticator and all. Since receiving I can’t not notice these gaps between the watch and the bracelet that are very confusing to me. I got a pretty good deal given the scratches but now I’m worried it may have been too good. Is this normal/correctable or is something awry? Hoping to crowdsource some insight from those more knowledgeable than me about these watches, any help much appreciated!
Anything that’s a must know or quirks about this? Seems like a great value for a GMT. Does anyone wear it on a rubber or canvas strap? Looking to make it a bit more casual for daily wear.
