[@maverickbonato8164]

This is soooo weird, a Grand Seiko with no date, no power reserve (actually on the back which I personally adore), a sub 39 case that's 10mm thick, and a manual movement? For 8000? It's magnificent. Lug width aside damn I'm impressed.

[@darealrulezbreaker9493]

if you ask me that 20mm strap in the video looks perfectly fine on the 19mm lugs.. idk why ppl make such a fuss about it tbh.

[@adamhatton7579]

Nail. Head.

[@purrungas2012]

Some power reserve indicators don't look that nice, a new way has to be created

[@alexkwan3]

I really like the idea of a power reserve indicator on the back. It cleans up the dial, but satisfies my OCD.

[@hodb3906]

Having things clean and organised while being annoyed with imperfections doesn't automatically mean you have OCD.

[@TheChadWork2001]

I agree, but not for $3,000.00 more.

[@YoureTerrific]

I appreciate that. Thank you.

[@cezarb4047]

This is my absolute dream watch. Honestly, it’s the perfect ‘simple’ watch. The movement is one of a kind, the details are beautiful whilst still simple and the finishing is 10/10. Now just to save the money …

[@briankimballkay]

Just tried one on today at a GS dealer in San Jose. Wow! I've never said this about a watch, but here goes: it's so curvacious and smooth you'll be tempted to eat it like a piece of hard candy. Also, that sweep seconds hand is simply mesmerizing. All to say, if you don't mind wearing a watch that might hypnotize you and that you'll be tempted to pop in your mouth when one's looking, this might be your watch. It might be mine.

[@aozf05]

I dunno, man, I think the smaller lugs look way more graceful than the longer ones on typical Grand Seikos. They're not stubby like the Turtle and not long like a vintage watch. They're slightly curved which ties into all the curves on the rest of the case. It's a perfect case design imo.

The self-depreciating humor toward yourself and to the watch community (including myself) is amazing. The review is great too. *sad lonely cheer* Just discovered this channel and bingeing as we speak. Looking forward to more in the future.

[@YoureTerrific]

Thanks

[@chazfromtheburg]

I know i'm probably in the minority, but I adore the PR on the dial of my SBGA211. I do love the movement of the SBGY007, and the dial is beautiful. But I don't need the symmetry. I'll stick with the wabi sabi of the snowflake. Great video, as always!

[@YoureTerrific]

I like it too

[@michaelcarroll2167]

I'm with you. I don't like the PR on most of the GSs, but for the 211 it is gorgeous. The PR on my Snowflake makes me think of snow angels or impressions in the snow whenever I'm staring at the dial (which I find myself doing constantly). I absolutely love it. But on the SBGA407, I wouldn't care for a PR on the dial. It's actually what swayed me to the Snowflake over the Skyflake. I think the SBGY007 looks incredible, and it's everything I was looking for when I bought my Snowflake. I will say it is baffling to me that they include the PR on the automatics and remove the PR on this manual. That's just absolutely backwards of what I would choose in a design. If I'm in the room when they design these then I'm shouting that all "snow" themed dials (or similarly themed dials - sandy beaches, grassy fields, etc) get a manual wind movement with a PR on the dial, and everything else is an automatic with the PR relegated to the back. Seems like a no-brainer to me. I don't think GS's design team will ever make sense to me.

[@davidberndt249]

[@SkywhiteChannel]

Great video. I enjoy the sarcasm and overall sense of humor. The watch looks great to me!

[@ozmondos]

Great video! This is the best video so far dedicated to this model. This GS is almost perfect... almost. The proportions are good, no date window or power reserve indicator affecting the dial, I like the fact that it's manual wind. Maybe it could've had a little more water resistance, but it's understandable because it's a dress watch and as beautiful as the dial is I wish it had the white snowflake dial. Maybe I'll just wait for this model in a snowflake dial or for a smaller sized snowflake.

[@chia-mingyang5804]

After this model comes out, I guess there won't be another steel version of SBGY002.

[@oneal14attnet]

I’m with you on the case dimensions Steve! Plus I love the power indicator on the face of the watch. Watching it increase as you wind is quite pleasurable. This video was spot on in many aspects. We don’t need a story for every watch. After awhile it feels gimmicky. Not original. Love the spring drive manual wind although. I tried on this watch and found it beautifully thin and compelling, but I like the Skyflake just a tad more.

[@chia-mingyang5804]

You still can wind it with the back side up.

I've been waiting for this effin watch!!!! For years!!!!

[@SinnerAndSaint]

Wow, thanks for showing this beauty! I think GS does the right thing with moving upwards. They don't only do it without justification. All their new pieces have clearly higher end movements like the White Birch already had. For collectors this changes the look drastically imho and lets these watches look even more stunning and expensive. But I have to agree - the watch case doesn't really do it for me :-( I REALLY appreciate the awesome dimensions for smaller wrists and more elegant timepieces though. Really curious to see what they will release during the next years!

[@Debonair.Aristocrat]

Ah man, you've gone and done it again. This is the second time that a watch which I've been 'stalking' since its release came up on your videos, and went from 'This is a good looking watch, let me think about it' to 'Okay, I need to get this now'. The first one being the Santos (Medium), and I love it. On a side note, I'm curious whether the bracelet from the SBGK009 will fit on this - case shape looks similar and I think it'll look beautiful ! Great work on the videos man, keep it up !

[@davidoleary6631]

Love the watch and the review but GS are without doubt going to Jigoku for making their watches with 19mm lug width. Nonetheless, in my opinion they have taken the crown for the most desirable watches from you know who. As a bonus, they aren't targeted by muggers, so it's a win win.
