New CW Chrono - has this been done yet?

I think someone jumped the gun on the social media trigger (intentionally?) but this is doing the rounds. Thoughts?

I’m hearing that too. Sub dial layout suggests it.

I bought this exact model when I was in Reykjavik last year and I love it. Usually wear it on a leather but looks great on a mesh too. They are a tiny business but if you want a laugh have a look at their previous customers page

If it's good enough for the Dalai Lama...although somehow I doubt he went for "The Dictator"

commented on Could the Grand Seiko SBGX261 Complete a Great Two Watch Collection? ·

I went for the 37 as I already have a couple of 40mm Grand Seiko's. Plus at the time I'll admit that I was looking at it as an explorer 1 alternative (the explore 1 should always be 36mm IMO.)

Despite what I said a year ago I do now have a 36mm explorer 1 but I still love the SBGX261.

Had my black dial 5303 since it launched and still wear it regularly. Since then many other micro-brand purchases have been and gone. I can only second @Apologos opinion. Be aware there were some issues with the first gen Soprod movements and Serica's response to some caused some bad press, but mine has been faultless and it's just so stylish.
