I’ve narrowed my choices down to 3. I’ll try them all one more time and make a call. Just curious what does our watch crunch community think? Just as an FYI this pick up is part of a collection so it won’t be worn everyday.
Skyflake all day. Gorgeous textured light blue dial on a dressier leather strap. The titanium is top light in my opinion. And I wish shunbun was more pink
Tried them all on again tonight at Watches of Switzerland. My decision has been made. Shunbun it is! hopefully I’ll make the purchase within the next few weeks.
Like the 413 spring equinox, all my watches have some greater personal reason for me to choose them. The odd one that lacks that usually gets sold.
So yes, go on aesthetics. But also consider what feels most meaningful to you. After a while the watches appearance will be taken for granted, but if you’ve a greater connection you’ll always feel gratitude when wearing it.
No bad choices - The Snowflake, blue sky snowflake, the winter 415/445 (it’s a classic winter coloured sky for me), etc… are all amazing watches. 👊. Enjoy the selection process!
If you haven't already, look at the Shun bun in person with a loupe. You'll be sold.
I really like the snowflake. The shun bun is very nice too but its The snowflake for me.

It's a tough choice between A and C for me.
Can’t go wrong with a snowflake or shunbun.

Had mine about a week. These are some glamour shots from the last few days.
I went with the Hanami inspired dial as it’s got special meaning for me, as outlined in this post: https://www.watchcrunch.com/Fieldwalker/posts/nwa-hanami-hana-fubuki-hana-ikada-sbga413-23560

I did just that tonight. It’s a done deal. Decision made.
