RARE Grand Seiko SBGR319 (Asian Snowflake) LE 350 pcs

Parkbury's View:
Brrr!! If you are looking for the iconic "Snowflake" type of dial, but something rarer, this is your piece!  Wears little larger due to the 42mm case.

Dunn's Assessment:
Being a huge fan of the Snowflake, this one doesn't disappoint. I actually prefer the heft of steel versus the titanium used in the original snowflake model.

Story behind the watch:
For most GrandSeiko enthusiasts, the "snowflake" dial watches are not unfamiliar.  This particular model was only available in the Asian market, and so everyone else missed out on this beauty.  The dial is the true focus on this timepiece.  Evoking the gentle spread of snow during winter on Mt Iwate, the paper-like texture is simply mesmerizing.  The watch has zaratsu finishing, satin-finished bracelet, clear caseback, and an uncluttered dial for ultimate wearability.  And let's not forget that gorgeous blue seconds-hand!  Adding rarity to this formula makes the GS SBGR319 a true winner.
