I finally chose the perfect day to photograph my Lake Suwa, although the bright sunlight introduced its own challenges, including reflections from the clouds and moments of overly direct sunlight. Despite these obstacles, I aimed to capture the best possible texture in the photos. Initially, I didn't include a photo of the dial in its flat appearance, but I'm adding that to the post now. You can see how varied this dial looks under different lighting conditions. Happy Grand Seiko Saturday Crunchers! #grandseiko #grandseikospringdrive #9ra2 #lakesuwa #collecting #wruw #titanium #evolution9 #textureddial

I'm a huge fan of the SLGA007, but unfortunately, I wasn't into Grand Seiko when it was released, so I missed the chance to acquire it. I'm also firm on not paying above the retail price for any watch. That stubbornness made me wait until they came out with this regular production model.

Will need to work a bit harder to capture this one better.

Wow what a difference Paul 🤩

Stunning dial! The beauty of GS dials cannot be matched by any other brand. When you zoom in to it you feel like you’re watching the sea waves from the sky 👌. Thanks for the beautiful photos 🙏

Well, I kind of transformed Seiko Saturday into Grand Seiko Saturday since I don’t own any regular Seiko watches. 🤪😅 I look forward to seeing more pictures of your GS! Cheers 🥂

Thank you, my friend. You took the words right out of my mouth, Kostas! Cheers 🥂

Beautiful watch! Just love the way the dial looks like water. Dreamy!

That stunning wave in the watch, you are proffesional photographer Paul. Before I bought Mistflake, I asked to see Lake Suwa, unfortunately no stock.

What a beautiful watch. I absolutely love Grand Seiko.

Thank you! It's remarkable, isn't it? The way the dial mimics the fluidity of water is a testament to the incredible craftsmanship that goes into creating such natural-looking textures.

Thank you for the compliment, Nawir! I’m just an enthusiast, really, not a professional photographer. I take all these photos with my iPhone. I can only imagine the challenge of capturing such detail with a DSLR single-handedly – it would certainly require some extra hands to ensure a high level of quality.

Thanks, Levi! It's been wonderful reconnecting with my GS collection. I'm surprised by how long it's been since I last rotated through them. I still need to wear the MistFlake, but I've truly reignited my passion for my Grand Seikos.
