GS in Ginza!

That's on my bucket list too! I will have to save for more than just the trip. 😂

Purchased my GS from Ginza

Absolutely awesome

I also purchased mine from Ginza boutique . They did the furoshiki wrapping for me. Great experience!

Umm what model?

Super jealous and happy for you at the same time!! Haha… buying a GS in Japan is absolutely a bucket list item of mine. You look very happy in the photo, as you should be - congratulations 🤙❤️🎉

Does your handle give a clue as to what GS you bought? Shunbun/Sakura 🌸??

You can’t say you bought a Grand Seiko and then not show it! 😝

Which Ginza boutique? I went into two and passed by a third a couple weeks ago.

Also - crazy how the weather turned in a couple weeks. It was 90 and sweltering when I was there at the end of September, and you need a scarf now!

Thank you ❤️ yes, I dreamed of Japan for all my life and once I finally got there I wanted to make the experience even better with this treat for myself… totally worth it! 😍🙏🏻

Ahah no, unfortunately no (not yet 🥲). My dream watch is the SBGA413 (from which I derived my handle), but it’s still far to be reached ahah as a first GS I went for a SBGX263. Simple, but I love it! Especiallly the whole experience associated with it!

I was in the one next to Montblanc/The Royal Park Canvas 8 Hotel. A smaller boutique compared to the bigger one few blocks ahead — I loved the cozier experience, I was the only one in the store ahah but I was there in March!

About the watch, here a sneak peek 😋I’ll make a post later

I went for a SBGX263! The goal is, eventually, the SBGA413!

So awesome Dood congrats!

That is the look of a guy who is winning at life 🥳 congrats on the new watch!

Congratulations!!! Enjoy it in the best of health!

Lucky you! 🍀

Still there? Go check the second floor at Wako to see some historical GS, and also Seiko Museum for more fun.

Also, Umeda Osaka now has a 6 floor watch festival on now that would be awesome to see if you’re popping down to Osaka.

And… some Sakura pics to inspire you!

Thanks for the amazing pics — this is my absolute favorite watch! Congrats 😍

I’m not in Tokyo anymore, this is a shot from March 23 🥲 I was at the Seiko museum, and I found it fabulous! I might come to Japan again next February, let’s see if I can get another piece 😋

Also, if you go to Kyoto and you don’t know it yet, have a look at Kuoe! It’s an amazing Kyoto-based microbrand. I love their Royal smith model

Congratulations on your #grandseiko
