Thoughts on Grand Seiko watches? Thinking about getting a Snowflake when they become available again, but have heard their SS bracelets are terrible. TIA

Well their bracelets aren’t SS, they are titanium, so there’s that.

Oops, you’re right. I should have said metal bracelets as opposed to the more specific “SS bracelets.”

It’s a watch-person’s watch

I'd try one on before making a decision. In my experience, GS and Seiko watches tend to wear thinner than they are due to the shape of case/lugs

Surprisingly light and comfortable on the wrist. Not a fan of their bracelets though. Would be interesting to see what they’d do with higher price points and an integrated bracelet, but it looks like they’re happy with releasing a ton of special editions.

Impeccable horological credentials though, either way.

Snowflake would come with a titanium bracelet, which despite good marketing, scratches a bit more easily than steel.

Another point to consider is thickness of the case. If GS chooses to make a spring drive at 40mm x 11mm in steel, I’ll be first in line and it’ll be my second from the brand.

How about some wrist shots from those who own?! Always been a GS fan, never worn one though.

Oops!

Second G1 - the cases are too thick and diameters are a little big. The special edition SBGA427 is pretty close though. 39mm, 12.3mm thick in steel. Thinking hard about that one.

Just picked up a GS recently and would 100% recommend. I’m in love with it. Definitely worth seeing it in person - pics really don’t do their watches justice. Wears much smaller than I expected too to be honest.

Tbh I don’t understand what a spring drive is...

(1) it's not battery powered (2) AFAIK it's the only movement with a perfect sweep

I love GS in pictures. Snowflake, Skyflake, the Special Edition 44GS with that crazy blue dial. All amazing but whenever I try them they underwhelm me... too big too bulky

New to luxury watches. If I were to wear one watch that makes a statement without being too flashy, which one should it be.

I am seeing this as an investment (1) dress to impress, and (2) eventually pass it on to my son who is an investment banker.

Please recommend in 3 ranges: around 6k, up to 12k and 12-16k. tia.

As a sometimes-poster of my watches let me introduce you to a new brand and acquisition called "AERONOM" from Germany.

Saw it as a recommendation and was intrigued and have it now.

Here some details:
- Automatic Movement
- Caliber 8217 with 42 hrs Power reserve
- 41,5 mm dial in a 46 mm case of stainless steel
- date window at 3 o'clock
- black diamond at 12 o'clock
- 24 hrs indicator at 9 o'clock

It's one of 200 produced and even though it's heavy and a 46 mm case is big but nice to wear
