I bought the Snowflake when it first came to the US. They gave me a huge discount to buy it. Never thought it would be so popular. It is probably my favorite watch.

I have two grand seiko watches. My favourite is the white birch, spring drive SLGA009. Great watch. The white birch dial, 5 day power reserve and perfect accuracy. Automatic. I also have the SLGH013, hi beat. Lovely dial and different movement.

Lovely watches! The SLGH013 is massively underrated in the marketplace, in my opinion. The SLGH013 and the SBGY011 should be on top sellers lists. Rob

Great video Rob, I'm lucky to have been able to buy both the Snowflake and the Cherry Blossom great watches. I'm now considering what to purchase next as a retirement present to myself. I do like the Skyflake, I've got time to think and might pop to the boutique in Bond St to have a look. Seasons greetings 🙂

Hi Paul. Hope you had a great festive period. Great choice of watches you have there, congratulations. May sure to check out the Omiwatari alongside the Skyflake. Could be a good option given you have the Snowflake dial in white.

great summary of a fantastic brand...which would be more fantastic for those of us with smaller wrists IF the bracelets could ALL have FEMALE end links....can you pass this up the line to GS HQ please Rob???.....female end links would widen the appeal of these watches enormously in my humble opinion, no negatives for big wristed guys (or gals) but deffo some of the watches wear WAY bigger due to the lack of FEL's......

I like titanium, a 5-day power reserve and the indicator on the back, but that means SLGA019, and that is very expensive, so I'll stick with my Kinetics for now. Plus, I'm curious to see what's announced in Geneva in April.

I want to add a Grand Seiko to my small collection, preferbly a Spring Drive but for some reason the models that I am interested in always comes with a deal breaker for me. 1. SBGM221 - water resistance only 30m. I will be afraid to wear this while playing with my kids. I believe its very easy for GS to improve the water resisitance of any of their models... 2. Snowflake - too big and chunky when I tried it on. 3. Omiwatari - Price and Water resistance 30m. 4. White Birch - too expensive compare to Snowflake or Shunbun IMO. 5. Shunbun - I can't get pass the hint of pink when I tried it on while "Winter" with same dial texture but is too dull. Still waiting for the right one 😬

Hi. People often want to go for a Spring Drive first, being an exclusive movement. Great to hear of your enthusiasm, and also your commitment to finding something thats right for you. What I would say to the above is not to worry about the spec of 30m water resistance. I haven't heard of anyone having issues with daily wear. I own a couple myself and I worry more about the leather straps on my watches than the watch itself regarding water. Rob

And if i had complete control, i would transplant a blued seconds on it as well to just melt into that dial. That would be the dream dress watch. ;))))
