Just stop it with the Snowflake variations. IMHO this is hideous.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0d2a65545a.jpg

What a way to cheapen the look of a nice watch.
Looks like a 1970s Artex wall in the kind of italian restaurant that had candles in Chianti bottles on every table...
Fanghurls will still :love7: it.
Looking forward to hearing the 'inspiration' behind this. The look of roadkill on the winter lanes outside the Micro Artists Studio?
I've spoken to their boutique about this one as it's quite special when you dig into its history. I think their rep said:
"This model symbolizes the strength with which we as a brand are squeezing the life blood out of the models in our range..."
Or something like that.
Tbh the rot set in when they put the power reserve on.
i'd love to go back to this, how about the massive pepper grinderQuote:

Looks like it's wearing AlloyGator wheel rim protectors.

Aimed at their domestic market mainly I would think. They are a little left field IMO
It took Seiko years to clock onto the Snowflake and now they're hammering out variants ever month it seems. Unnecessary, the original is still the best.
Why even bother?! I don’t like that red at all and it makes it look cheap.

OMG why...
Funny old place, Japan, I'm guessing there's a niche market for things that remind one of blood-soaked banadages / used tampons...
Like blood splashed on snow

This was exactly my first thought. Really not a very nice version at all. I really wish they would just leave the Snowflake alone, but I guess constant mucking about with a classic isn't exclusive to Seiko: Omega, I'm looking at you here...Quote:

I like it a lot. I tend to find GS nothing short of dull. Better without a stupid PR though.
The one I'm waiting for is a 9F62 quartz model in 36 or 37mm with the Snowflake dial .... and preferably no red accents or gilt to be seen :)
I’d wear it but have to admit it would much better with all the red bits swapped out for blue [emoji3]

What’s with the red gold white silver combo????

I bet it looks nice in person, I'd give it a chance and see how it looks in the metal.
The gold GS logo is a little jarring but I rather like the rest of it.
Always loved the idea of a snowflake but don’t get on with titanium watches. So I’ve admired them from afar.

It'll match someones outfit
Agreed. I much prefer it to the original snow flake model, but as usual the power reserve ruins an otherwise nice watch for me.Quote:
