My First Spring Drive! NWA- SBGA465
In February 2023, I bought my first Swiss automatic watch which was my Rolex OP 26 mm. When I first got into watch collecting, I thought I had to stick with traditionally smaller dials. Over time, as you can see my tastes have changed and I have become a lot more comfortable with larger dial sizes. My Rolex OP was not getting much wrist time. Thank you to @Watchovski @BtownB9 @Mr.Dee.Bater @gmtminx @Ichibunz @Jiamasian @LBoogie @AllTheWatches @Kalsota for your insights and helping me realize its okay to embrace change. I traded out my Rolex OP to go towards the SBGA465. Its gorgeous! ❤️

Oh. This one came out of the blue.
Congratulations!!!
Nice one ! Goodbye Rolex 🥇
Congratulations, looks great. Enjoy.
I agree with you 💯. A larger dial allows the design to breathe and you can appreciate it more without a magnifying 🔎 . Excellent choice. Regardless of the name on the dial, if it doesn't make you smile then it's a waste of money

Oh my, that is pretty!!!!
Oh man is that beautiful, I know what you mean about case diameter, I think my smallest one is 38mm and anything smaller than 40mm just feels awkward on my wrist with my ogre build haha

Stunning watch mate! Congrats! 🏆
I was gonna comment earlier but I was jealous. Congratulations, spring drive is my dream GS
Beautiful watch! Enjoy it!
Congrats and enjoy!
Lovely watch but damn that is not a good fit...
Unless it is your wrist, you cannot say what is or is not a good fit no? Also, wrist shots are notoriously skewed due to angles and even then some may simply prefer larger watches. Perhaps instead of leading with critique of a purchase someone worked hard for and is proud of, why not simply keep scrolling?
Congratulations enjoy the amazing watch
My love for Grand Seikos is starting to grow on me 🤩
