I'm a big fan of Grand Seiko's quartz movements, and this is a beautiful one. It seems that GS saves its best dials and bracelets for their mechanical and spring drive watches, so it's great to see the snowflake dial and titanium bracelet paired with the 9F. I'm definitely tempted to take a closer look!
@@1000lightyrs I wouldn't say I'm shocked as Ti and a nicer dial are going to demand a premium, but by percentage compared to the 261/263 I see your point. On the flip side, you could also argue you are getting a "deal" if compared to the steel SBGX353 on a strap for the same money.
