I recently purchased a Grand Seiko SGBH271 “Rikka” and I have been blown away by the watch. The finishing is on another level and the dial is unreal. You are totally right, you can’t describe how much better these watches are in person than in pictures.

I purchased the Grand Seiko Snowflake to remember & honour my late mother Christine … when I look at it’s beautiful dial I fondly remember my beloved Mum … RIP 🙏🏻❤️

I was lucky enough to try one of these on the other day. My God what a cut above in terms of finishing...so light as well! I'm a little bit in love...

Had mine for 18 months now. Wear it every day, even to work as a GP. Patients comment on it when I’m checking their pulse. It’s confined my Yacht-master Rhodium to the watch case. Few watches are legendary. This is.

They are incredible because they are inspired by the pigeon droppings/gutter leaves/ foggy weather/ raindrop on the windowsill outside the GS office. Allegedly.

I'm mainly a Seiko collector, I just love the value you get from Seiko and the attention to detail, so I would absolutely fall over myself to bag a Grand Seiko someday. Great video. Dammit MWC, you've tempted me even more now, lol

If I could afford a luxury watch then I would pick the Grand Seiko .. Every time.
Love the 36000 BPH and 80 Hour power reserve.
The engineering inside this watch is unbelievable. I love the detail and finish on this watch. I would definitely love this watch in my collection..This watch is pure quality.
Seiko and Casio are my favourite watchmakers.
They both make watches that are superb value for money
Thank you so much for this video, Russell.

Grand Seiko and Casio two of my top favorite watch brands. They just break boundaries.

They are beautiful watches, the finishing is amazing. I bought the sbga415. I ran it for 100 days and the 9r65 only gained 3 seconds, just amazing!

Stoked to see the snowflake on MWC, and another well done review. I’ve owned mine for over a year, my first and only grail. The smooth sweep, light but indestructible feel, iconic engineering, and unmatched finishing is endlessly inspiring for me, especially as a skiing and mountaineering fan. The watch changes my mood when I wear it. Mine is about 3 seconds or less per month, and hits all the indices perfectly, which adds to the fun.
MWC is right to recommend to go try it on to get the true feel. A bit relieved there wasn’t a MWC wife review…

[AwkwardHorology]

Grand Seiko Dials are a true work of art. They are so well done!

To be honest when I started watch collecting I didn’t care about grand seikos thinking they where over priced but I was so wrong!!

[arielcandoleta]

That second hand gliding through is just hypnotic.

[garethsigrist]

The Snowflake is one of the all time great dials, I just wish it didn’t have that power reserve indicator on the dial 😂 It’s well out of my price range sadly but I’d love to see a more sporty version of the Snowflake with that fantastic Seiko lume on the hands and indeces, no date and the power reserve indicator moved to the back 👍

Another top quality show MWC 🙌

Another top video Russel. I have seen one of the Snowflakes and other GS models a few years ago at Francis and Gaye on one of my visits to the Midlands and you have described them perfectly. The case finishing is off the scale. At the time I couldn't justify a purchase as I'd gone to the store specifically to get a different watch. They are definitely purchased by people who appreciate watches rather than as an investment.

[BrittPearceWatches]

Seiko IS insanely good! And so is Russell!!!

[adamk]

Top review! Pop it on a dark blue leather strap and you’ve got yourself an amazing dressy watch. Absolute stunner and no mistaking…😍

[seedeebun]

When I bought my SBGJ237 from Watches of Switzerland, there was a REP from GS in the store. His knowledge on the brand definitely help push me in the right direction. According to him, it takes 20 years to be eligible to zaratsu polishing, not 5. Do with that information what you will! Either way, love GS ♥️

Hey Russell, as a “content creator” I really enjoy your videos. You strike the perfect balance of sizzle vs steak.

And as an American who watches BBC shows, I can say your Curt character’s American accent is better than that of most UK actors trying it. Except, ironically, on the “super” inserts. ;)

Keep being Mad.

I got the SBGA 283 with the champagne dial a few years ago and it's the most lovely watch I've ever owned.

[rarknivesandleatherwork]

Nailed it with that review. I'm wearing my Snowflake - but on a leather strap. I couldn't get the fit I needed on the bracelet, which is gutting as it's a nice bracelet. I use a Tudor GMT as my sporty watch, an Omega De Ville as a dress watch and my Snowflake as my everyday wear.
