first vid I've seen on the 2 new GS models
Hello my 'crunch family!
Hope your weekend is off the races with a glass of beer and a bowl of chips.
I've been skulking around the interwebs trying to get a better idea of the new Iwate sky based models SGBH311 (sea of clouds) and SBGR325 (light blue sunray).
IMHO - The cloudy model gets the better movement and looks like it will really pop when up close, kinda like 413/443. The blue sunray will pop from a distance, like anything else that looks Tiffany-ish
Found this vid of a British Viking who has a couple of these models in dummy watch form. Most of the vid is chatty and dull, skip around.
So no movement in these but still much easier to get a feel for the dial, rotor, overall look and finishing with video. Limited run of each BTW.
I shan't be getting either of them😒 but if more funds for fun were available to me, I'd lean toward the sea of clouds I think.

GS has so many releases these days that I'm always just waiting for something to really wow me before I take the plunge again.
These look lovely. They always do! But they don't move me...yet
I'm such a dilettante 🤣🤣🤣
They look nice, but not anything that has got my heart racing!
@HotWatchChick69 and @Edge168n - yup, with y‘all on this
I’m not fully sold yet either, at least till I see a couple of properly effusive reviews or have seen in person.
1400 isn’t a big production run however, so cloudy mc cloud face may disappear quick if it’s a hit

One thing I've learned about grand Seiko is that given enough time, even the limited editions end up not being that limited. I suspect we'll find these back on the market used in great condition in 18 months at agreeable prices.

Almost always true! - but some of the epic peacocks like OG Kirazuri, Ryusendo, Suwa …etc have gone all Rolexy 💵🚀on us
Annoyingly, I’m an epic peacock sort of guy. 🤪😉
In 4 years, it will be the 30 year anniversary for the Spring Drive movement. I'll wait for the "limited edition" for that one. 😜
You’ve gotta be kidding me
