Yeah I'm also not with Max on this one. I don't really get how the movement is all redesigned and has a bird thingy for winding, but I really like what GS is going with this one, expanding the evolution collection to a smaller and dressier line-up. I'd give it an A, would've been S if it was spring drive.
The case looks dress enough but do not feel too rounded like the SBGY007. Also not too rugged like the original white birch. You know what's even better? 20mm lugs.
I would've loved to see a manual wound spring drive in this case shape, too. Knowing grand seiko, maybe in 5 years 🤣
Tbf the color is a bit lighter and less saturated than I expected. It feels more metallic instead of painted.
The color is really hard to capture, you'll never know unless seeing in person.
