Sorry it's been 2 weeks since my last video! I've been with friends & family for my birthday! :) But coming BACK WITH THIS SH*T HOT GS! ..... Also... You might notice a birthday present on my wrist.... ;)
I was lucky enough to snag one of these the day after seeing the Watchfinder video and it arrived this morning. Have to say I'm pretty blown away by it. The dial is subtle and changes in colour gently depending on the light and angle but always looks great. During the day it's gone from a subtle pink to a white and through different shades of silver and has always looked fantastic. It's one of these pieces where the more time you spend with it the more there is to appreciate. I hear what you say about a tapering bracelet but for me that would not work so well. It's only 18mm lug width and if it tapered I feel it would leave the bracelet too skinny at it's thinnest and more of a woman's watch than a man''s. As it is, it works really well as a unisex watch. As for the clasp - as someone else said in a comment the half links are a touch longer than a full link so getting a GS to fit has never been a problem, and fortunately once I've gotten any watch bracelet to the right size I've never had to adjust it. I've got watches by Tudor and Rolex and two GS - and I far prefer the clasps on the GS as they are smaller and better looking and have a great release mechanism. If fine adjust in the clasp is something you need to make the bracelet work though I can fully appreciate it being an issue.
Grande Seiko represents some of the best value your dollar can buy! Hypnotic dials that keep you memorized throughout the day, hand polished case work and superior hand finished movements and furniture work on the dial. It’s truly a handmade product at a price point that leaves many haute horology brands quivering in their shoes. If this was a Swiss watch, it would sell for 3-5 tines their premium. But hey, more value for you and I; but now the secret is out! Nice work Gringa 🙏🏼⌚️
Hell yes. Love this. If I didn't already have an SBGW231, a Cartier Santos (medium), and a Tudor BB36, I might have jumped on it. With those three in my collection, there just isn't room for a SBGW289 right now. P.S. I have a 7.5" wrist and love the smaller wearing experience on all of these!
I bought the SBGW285 in green. And that’s my first watch with dial hands ( Casio was my lord and savior all my life). I’m not a watch expert. But heck yeah, when it comes to the perfect marriage between beauty and simplicity ( with craftsmanship as a side chick or mistress) you don’t need to be a watch expert to get dazzled by these time pieces.
Great job on the edit WG! Love the watch! If I had Watch Papi’s money i’d definitely get one!!! It’s subtle pink! I still love the snowflake too much though! All the best!!!!
Oh Russell, thank you sooo much! I am trying so hard to work out my editing style and step up my game a bit.... STILL NOT A PATCH ON YOU! ;) But I'll keep trying!
They do seem to be embracing the idea of using names more these days with the White Birch, Green Birch, Snowflake etc. But i guess with the amount of models they have it's hard for the naming department to keep up with the designers. Keep the GS content coming!
As a male, I would have no trouble wearing a piece with a subtle pink hue. I believe it gives the watch both a casual edge, plus, a formal profile that would allow it to be complementary to dressing up. Thank you for this fine presentation.
I am a man and I have wanted a pinky watch for a while. Before my wife always refused to accept, but this watch broke her rule at the first sight. Few days later I will bring it home 😁
Thank you for sharing time with your friend's watch, Brittany. It's beautiful. To me 36.5mm watch is ok on my 7.25" wrist IF it has good wrist presence, maybe helped by 20mm bracelet.
When I see watches like this, I face the fact that they really are everything I want. All the other brands? Well, OK,each to their own taste. GS embodies subtlety, unlike some brands that for some strange (and wholly inexplicable ) reason bring the words 'organised crime' to mind! lol . Forgive the rather basic summary; they are beautiful and tell me the time. (Cue comments from the haters!) Great video, especially that opening section. You do what so many people can't do. Make unboxing interesting! 😎
Ahhh this is sooo well said! Let the haters come! Because…. You perfectly described GS!!! Particularly subtlety & beauty. They are the watch choice of the true horology nerd!! 👏🏻💕 it might be time to add one to my life!
So great to have a Gringa video back after a long break. Fun, informative and no stupid drama... And Happy Birthday. That watch looks fantastic on you. Watch Papi stepped up.
Oh it’s so good to be BACK! 💕💕 I feel like I missed all this drama! 😂🙈 with my birthday I really wasn’t online so I missed it all! 😂🤷🏻♀️ but I tried catching up on it. Then I started realising… I’ve heard the word “gentleman” more than I’ve heard the word “movement”… so I lost interest! 😜
I like a 'second hand sweep' on my watch dials ... it adds kinetic movement or energy to the face and reassures one that the watch does actually have a movement.
Oh nooo way! WHAT A WATCH!!! I’m sooo excited about the new King Seikos! I’ve seen a couple of watch youtubers talk about it! 😱 but I don’t know all that much about it. Seiko geeks seem to be disappointed by the movement tho!
@@BrittPearceWatches Thanks! It's cool to see them being brought back. Yeah, the vintage King Seiko's were known for having a hi beat 36000bph movement. The new ones have a 21600bph movement, so definitely disappointing that they didn't stay true in that regard.
Yes, yes, yeees 🤤! Finally GS keeping it tiny and slim. Now they need a wondeful sports watch and cool names and they'll be on business! Gracias Gringa! Hey, but what about pricing?
Kira Zuri pink, nice! Limited edition GS holds value. Nice size for a lady’s wrist. Not so expensive that you’ll be afraid to wear it. They usually don’t sell out so fast when the production number is over 1000.
It's a beautiful piece. I think Grand Seiko really nails it with their subtle colors. Just a hint of blue, or pink, etc. etc. looks very classy. I don't have the energy to run out and try to snag limited edition models, but I do like it quite a bit.
nuanced, balanced, and reserved, very Japanese indeed. seemingly boring at first glance, but it actually embodies a Japanese watch down to the purest spirit.
"weird and distinctive" lol you're pretty much describing yourself. which is why we love you! I'd listen to you talk about fishing rods or whatever. your voice is that good
Another amazing vid, the quality of them is getting better and better! Did you see my message to you on your Tudor vid? Someone pretending to be you I think, tried to scam me. Might be worth checking it out and warning people.
@@BrittPearceWatches Yeah, i sent you a screenshot on insta. I almost fell for it. But when 'you' asked for $150 to ship my prize to Glasgow i freaked 🤣🤣🤣
YOUUUUUU ARE KIDDDDDINNNNNGGGG!!!! THAT IS BIG MAN TINNNNNGS, ahhhhh!!!! TWINS TIME! That is so freaking amazing! And a very rare call to get! Biggest congrats EVER!
YASSSS LADY!!! I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE THE ONE TO SWAY YOU TO THE GS DARK SIDE!😍🥳 It's a beauty of a watch. I'll have to do a comparison of mine and this one!👀 Killer video as always gorgeous lady!!!
@@BrittPearceWatches aaahhh, I thinking that you can select generate subtitles, my apologies. Recognize that is most possible as you can buy this, suit as good as your wrist 😄😄😄
Ha ha that opening was ever thing love the dial on this watch Love Grand Seiko I have held many yes this watch needs a fun funny name and I vote for Jigglypuff ha ha love it, sorry I'm late for the video as always great video.
Another great video Gringa. Be careful with your candle placement. Especially if you don’t water that plant :) (an ex Firefighter worried about you ;))
This may be my next watch. The older I get the less and less I care for complications and I have grown to really not like date complications. 80% of the time their legibility sucks and 100% of the time they throw off the balance/look of the dial. This thing looks perfect. Can’t wait to see on in person.
It's a sophisticated bit of kit,only it's not quite perfect... nice but not exquisite. Excellent video as per usual, thank you. 👍👍👍😎 P.S. there's a telegram scam targeting your comment section. Maybe a pinned comment to warn the subs, it's not WhatsApp this time. 👍👍👍😎
Ahhh a very cool watch indeed! ❤️❤️ and thank you so much! Someone else flagged this up as well. I am so sorry! 🤦🏻♀️ these scammers are SOO ANNOYING! I think UA-cam is having a massive problem woth it!
This is a really cool release, even if I'm not interested with my 7.25" wrist. 38-39mm wears on me like 36-ish does on smaller wristed people, so I get the desire for that size. I don't know why GS doesn't step up their bracelet game though. Surely this cannot be news to them. People have been talking about it for years. They have a new-ish CEO for the U.S. Maybe he can get them to change, or they'll just ignore any non-Japanese advice? I don't know, but they're on the cusp of greatness. That and a freaking 40-41mm diver is what they need. I'm not asking for miracles or great feats of engineering here. Gringa, thanks for being a breath of fresh air in the watch UA-cam world.
Ohhh these are two TOP CHOICES! And so hard to choose between 😱 the Seamaster is obviously a fantastic watch! But I think a GS is kinda the cooler choice 😱❤️❤️❤️
I've just bought one, so i cannot wait for it to arrive. I thought i was going to buy a spring drive or another Tudor, but this feels just perfect. In the flesh it feels so light. The bracelet is perfect, if it was tapered it would look quite odd. The finishing on it has blown me away, definitely not a daily wear though as I would be worried about scratching it. I will definitely tho' now purchase more GS's when they do small runs of watches. (But not till I've bought a Gshock)
4:05 I proudly carry the alpha male status GS owner with the larger Shunbun (arguably less pink than this 44GS LE) 🤣I am waiting on delivery for a dc'd SBGV243. Keep up the lighthearted and playful content, it paired well with this watch! 🍻
Love the review! I too tried it in the metal (not my allocated piece) when I was informed of my allocation yesterday, though it looks a tad cutesy on my 7.25 inch wrist, but the way the pink dial plays with light is just amazing, one moment it's pink another it's salmon or silver. Cannot wait to get mine later in the month!
As always Gringa, your content is great fun! Also, I’m very glad you singled out the bracelet. How GS continues to put out subpar bracelets is just strange to me. There’s no way the leaders at Seiko and Grand Seiko are not aware of this issue and yet they continue to ignore it. 🤷🏽♂️ Still, I do love their watches. I have the GS #SGBW231 and it is stunning (and not disappointed that it doesn’t come on a bracelet). 😁
@@BrittPearceWatches I’m the same. Atm the only GS I would have bought is the SBGW231. Although they have a nice green and blue one now. All very nice. And the leather strap avoids the bracelet. Only problem is I know I wouldn’t wear a leather strap watch much. I prefer a nice bracelet. I went with the new mint green date-just 36. Next one is the silver OP36. Love the SBGW dials but overall I’d get better everyday use out of the DJ and OP and they can be smart or casual. If I needed a proper dress watch though I would get the SBGW231. The dial has a good vibe to it
@@BrittPearceWatches It is a slippery slope, mi amiga. But well worth it. One of my GS has a 44GS case and it spends much time on my wrist because of how flat and comfy it is. BUT, I have it on an Erika's Original strap and not the bracelet. Make of that what you will...
Love the design but - having had a quartz model with the same 44GS case - the lug to lug is surprisingly long and flat. It was just a bit too big for my 17.5cm wrist, so I had to let it go (didn’t lose any money on it, which is a good indication of residuals). Lovely watches though - have my eye on a “Mist Flake”…😍
I think im in love, no power reserve, slim, lovely face and red hair......🤣 Seriously though, this addresses the Three main issues GS have, 1)spring drive, I dont mind it, nor do I GAF. 2) Hugeness, this isn't. 3) NO POWER RESERVE😍🤩🤩🤩🙏🥰 Im a seven but I'd buy it, after vintage 36 is fine.
RIGHT?!?! This is the GS for those who have reservations about GS! I really can't find anything big to complain about! ...... but I can always find small things to complain aobut ;)
Told you it would be this model ;) by the way for perfect fit with GS bracelets you can swap 2 half links with a regular one as the half links are not exatly half the size of a regular link but a little bit more than that :-D (I have no issue with my Snowflake)
@@BrittPearceWatches and if you don't like the bracelet it would still be a killer on a strap ! Get the GS Omiwatari to Watchpapi and you have the perfect his and hers 🤗
I'd say good luck to anyone who wants it, but it's definitely listed as "Sold Out" on their online boutique at least. Probably have a tough time finding one given how limited they are.
@@BrittPearceWatches Well, that might not include the brick and mortar boutiques. And they're bound to show up 2nd hand. So it might be tough, but not impossible. 🙂
I am so pleased that you don’t like second hands on dress watches. But I only think it comes with maturity in this hobby. Initially you just want to know the watch is alive, but later on you want to style.😂
This was me being quite reserved in my hatred for seconds hand on dress watches. ;) I could get into a horribly snobby rant on what a dress watch is meant to be..... BUT I HELD IT IN! ;)
Yes you drank the kool aid!!!! Grand Seiko is on another level as far as I am concerned. Nice watch but again another limited edition not surprised. Great job gringa!!!
Britt!! You should check out the SBGW277 and SBGW275 ;-) You want to see Green and blue/green done to a level of insanity?? Then these kill it with the light play! The pink is great, but the new green by GS and by Kurano are just on another plain of existence!
Given the possibility : Would you get this GS over a pink dial Rolex 36 mm OP ? Would you get this GS over a similarly manual wound 36 mm pink dial Nomos Club ? Bottom line, this GS remains a dressy manual wound watch, which requires more involvement than grabbing a blue dial Tudor BlackBay. Should you buy this pink GS, which other watch from your collection would immediately lose wrist time ?
I would definitely choose GS over the pink OP! But not over a black OP. Just hate the pink Rolex uses! I think this watch is a bit too different from the club campus to compare! 😱💕 so club campus > GS! You’re so right! When you say yes to one thing, it means saying no to another.
Glad to see you showing Grand Seiko some love. They have some GMTs I really want. Watch Papi and I have the same size wrist, so now I will take particular interest in his wrist shots. How long until you share a video of your b-day present from Papi? What happened to the G-Shock livestream? It was airing while I was at work and it isn't public.
Whaaaat I thought it was up?!?! Let me investigate now! :) The GS's HAVE BEEN BOUGHT!!!! But I haven't been home in 2 weeks! 😢 So I need to go HOME AND GET MY NEW WATCHES!
The Snowcherry. Or the Cotton Candy. I think those would be suitable names for this watch. Of course the official name of the left-handed Rolex is the Shitstain.
I want to like GS, I really do. I have been searching for an alternative to the Rolex OP 36 or DJs that are available and it's been hard to find. These GS watches are close but doesn't quite fulfill the full package. I like the size at 36.5 and dials, as well as price, but darn if they don't miss on bracelet and movement. Even if these were a bit thicker to fit in a spring drive or automatic movement would be great.
I think the BIG things that are missing here, is the lack of microadjust! (so you get the 5mm with the OP!), and I'd miss the lack of LUUUUME the OP has!

Sorry it's been 2 weeks since my last video! I've been with friends & family for my birthday! :) But coming BACK WITH THIS SH*T HOT GS! ..... Also... You might notice a birthday present on my wrist.... ;)
Gefliciteerd! 🎂 🥳
Totally Worth the wait !
Happy belated birthday, Brittany !
Happy Santos day 😁😁😁
Nice video ---- Pope Tier Rules !!! --- I am BINGE WATCHING all your video this weekend (AND ALL THE ADDS) !!!!!
I was lucky enough to snag one of these the day after seeing the Watchfinder video and it arrived this morning. Have to say I'm pretty blown away by it. The dial is subtle and changes in colour gently depending on the light and angle but always looks great. During the day it's gone from a subtle pink to a white and through different shades of silver and has always looked fantastic. It's one of these pieces where the more time you spend with it the more there is to appreciate.
I hear what you say about a tapering bracelet but for me that would not work so well. It's only 18mm lug width and if it tapered I feel it would leave the bracelet too skinny at it's thinnest and more of a woman's watch than a man''s. As it is, it works really well as a unisex watch. As for the clasp - as someone else said in a comment the half links are a touch longer than a full link so getting a GS to fit has never been a problem, and fortunately once I've gotten any watch bracelet to the right size I've never had to adjust it. I've got watches by Tudor and Rolex and two GS - and I far prefer the clasps on the GS as they are smaller and better looking and have a great release mechanism. If fine adjust in the clasp is something you need to make the bracelet work though I can fully appreciate it being an issue.
Your, Sir, know your shit. Respect :)
this is an incredible timepiece. I can only hope GS continues to produce these measurements for more of their watches.
Can we get an amen?! I couldn’t agree more!
I am on the small size train. I have a 7.25” wrist and 38mm is starting to seem big to me.
Grande Seiko represents some of the best value your dollar can buy! Hypnotic dials that keep you memorized throughout the day, hand polished case work and superior hand finished movements and furniture work on the dial. It’s truly a handmade product at a price point that leaves many haute horology brands quivering in their shoes. If this was a Swiss watch, it would sell for 3-5 tines their premium. But hey, more value for you and I; but now the secret is out! Nice work Gringa 🙏🏼⌚️
Hell yes. Love this. If I didn't already have an SBGW231, a Cartier Santos (medium), and a Tudor BB36, I might have jumped on it. With those three in my collection, there just isn't room for a SBGW289 right now.
P.S. I have a 7.5" wrist and love the smaller wearing experience on all of these!
I bought the SBGW285 in green. And that’s my first watch with dial hands ( Casio was my lord and savior all my life). I’m not a watch expert. But heck yeah, when it comes to the perfect marriage between beauty and simplicity ( with craftsmanship as a side chick or mistress) you don’t need to be a watch expert to get dazzled by these time pieces.
Can we get an amen?! Casio is all of our Lord and saviour. Amen! And GS is the Archbishop. 😜
Great job on the edit WG! Love the watch! If I had Watch Papi’s money i’d definitely get one!!! It’s subtle pink! I still love the snowflake too much though! All the best!!!!
Oh Russell, thank you sooo much! I am trying so hard to work out my editing style and step up my game a bit.... STILL NOT A PATCH ON YOU! ;) But I'll keep trying!
Thanks for showing it on your wrist AND watch papi's so we can get a good idea of how it wears. My wrist is 6.5"/16.5cm so this is well appreciated!
They do seem to be embracing the idea of using names more these days with the White Birch, Green Birch, Snowflake etc. But i guess with the amount of models they have it's hard for the naming department to keep up with the designers. Keep the GS content coming!
Oh gosh it’s sooo true! There’s sooo much in the catalogue and so many new watches coming through!
As a male, I would have no trouble wearing a piece with a subtle pink hue. I believe it gives the watch both a casual edge, plus, a formal profile that would allow it to be complementary to dressing up. Thank you for this fine presentation.
I am a man and I have wanted a pinky watch for a while. Before my wife always refused to accept, but this watch broke her rule at the first sight. Few days later I will bring it home 😁
The pink used in the spring collection is surprisingly sexy even on a male wrist.

I also bought the watch.
I use it as a share watch with my wife. A wonderful watch that suits both men and women!
Very few GS models get the Kira Zuri dial. The US boutique model in 2018 was very sparkly and shot up in value when it ran out (558 limited edition).
😱😱😱🌸🌸💕💕
I have a vintage King Seiko 4502. It's really cool that they're bringing back the same case design, but with a modern and unique spin!

😱😱 so maybe I could get my hands on one! 💕💕
The editing is on point 👌🏻. Totally love the size, the dial, the polishing……this watch is just ahhhhhhh………great video as always
Whaaat! Thank you so much! :) I tried to put in that little extra effort with the edit today! Thank you so much

Your right about nicknames. The most iconic GS have them. The snowflake and peacock. I bought the cookie, much easier than ref numbers
I love this watch. It's the elegance itself.
Gah! Isn’t it just! 😍😍
GS watches are great but I really want on-the-fly adjustment for any bracelet. Nice to see GS making a smaller watches with bracelets!
Gringa, I miss you, you wonderful fabulous watch nerd! There, I said it! I love your show!!!
Oh BLESS YOU! 😭💕💕💕 this has made my day! I’m so glad you enjoy my weird little channel!
Absolutely stunning watch
Happy belated birthday Gringa! Love the watch and the video. If I didn’t already have a pink GS, not sure how many pink watches I should own. 🙃
BAHAHA! Pink GS’s at that! 😂🙈💕💕💕 but I’m having a massive thing for pink at the moment!
Wow, you've really stepped your video and studio game up! Congratulations, looks fantastic. Still not sold on GS though. I'm sure I'll get there...
Ahh I’m trying so hard to step up my videos! Today I’m just house sitting for a friend! Giving me some serious studio inspiration! 😱
Nice ladies watch design - pink and shrink
Ahhh, I think it's better for MEN! PErsonlly!! Perfect mens dress watch size! :O (but only for medium to small wrists!)
Watching this video but all my attention was focused on the Cartier you're wearing. So much class 👌🏿
OUU HOOOO! It’s magical isn’t it?!?! 😍 review coming soon!!
36.5mm is the perfect classic size, I hope more watches are made in this size, oh happy birthday.
Wonderful dial! Love it... (and great video!)
Isn't is JUST?! Pure magic!!!
Great video Brittney, the watch is a beauty !!!!!!

That and a freaking 40-41mm diver is what they need. I'm not asking for miracles or great feats of engineering here. Gringa, thanks for being a breath of fresh air in the watch UA-cam world.
Pretty watch if you’re into that sorta stuff
If I could ever get another watch and leave my eco drive citizen behind it would be a gs or an omega seamaster damn you MS. Love your channel
Ohhh these are two TOP CHOICES! And so hard to choose between 😱 the Seamaster is obviously a fantastic watch! But I think a GS is kinda the cooler choice 😱❤️❤️❤️
@@BrittPearceWatches I agree
awww the snow cherry’s so cute 🥰 Greeeat vidz
Ouu hoooo! Thank you so much! :)
This is a perfect watch for you!
I've just bought one, so i cannot wait for it to arrive. I thought i was going to buy a spring drive or another Tudor, but this feels just perfect. In the flesh it feels so light. The bracelet is perfect, if it was tapered it would look quite odd. The finishing on it has blown me away, definitely not a daily wear though as I would be worried about scratching it. I will definitely tho' now purchase more GS's when they do small runs of watches. (But not till I've bought a Gshock)
One of these days. That’s what I always say. I like the pink champagne 🍾 dials.
4:05 I proudly carry the alpha male status GS owner with the larger Shunbun (arguably less pink than this 44GS LE) 🤣I am waiting on delivery for a dc'd SBGV243. Keep up the lighthearted and playful content, it paired well with this watch! 🍻
BAHAHA! Maaan the shunbun is such a gorgeous piece! 😱 and so light as well! Thank you so so much. 🙈💕💕💕
Interesting piece. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, WR4K.
Beautiful watch!
My favorite GS nickname is Shunbun. Shunbun shunbun shunbun. haha! Just picked up the Summer Rikka and I totally get the GS mystique now.
Love the review! I too tried it in the metal (not my allocated piece) when I was informed of my allocation yesterday, though it looks a tad cutesy on my 7.25 inch wrist, but the way the pink dial plays with light is just amazing, one moment it's pink another it's salmon or silver. Cannot wait to get mine later in the month!
I'd definitely wear this on my hairy arm!
YASSS! Get it on ya!
As always Gringa, your content is great fun! Also, I’m very glad you singled out the bracelet. How GS continues to put out subpar bracelets is just strange to me. There’s no way the leaders at Seiko and Grand Seiko are not aware of this issue and yet they continue to ignore it. 🤷🏽♂️ Still, I do love their watches. I have the GS #SGBW231 and it is stunning (and not disappointed that it doesn’t come on a bracelet). 😁
Ahhh BLESS! Thank you so much. And as always, your comment is much too kind!
@@BrittPearceWatches Ha ha! The lack of a bracelet is a definite plus!!😅
@@BrittPearceWatches I’m the same. Atm the only GS I would have bought is the SBGW231. Although they have a nice green and blue one now. All very nice. And the leather strap avoids the bracelet. Only problem is I know I wouldn’t wear a leather strap watch much. I prefer a nice bracelet. I went with the new mint green date-just 36. Next one is the silver OP36. Love the SBGW dials but overall I’d get better everyday use out of the DJ and OP and they can be smart or casual. If I needed a proper dress watch though I would get the SBGW231. The dial has a good vibe to it
Welcome, Gringa, to the most inexplicable addiction of the watch world.
😂😂 IVE GOT THE GS BUG!
@@BrittPearceWatches It is a slippery slope, mi amiga. But well worth it. One of my GS has a 44GS case and it spends much time on my wrist because of how flat and comfy it is. BUT, I have it on an Erika's Original strap and not the bracelet. Make of that what you will...
U are a TRIP and a True Watch Love!! Thanks for the Laughs!! Eric
Oh bless! I’m so glad you enjoyed! This made my night 💕✨
I have this watch. Its superb, better than any Rolex I have ever owned.
Love the design but - having had a quartz model with the same 44GS case - the lug to lug is surprisingly long and flat. It was just a bit too big for my 17.5cm wrist, so I had to let it go (didn’t lose any money on it, which is a good indication of residuals). Lovely watches though - have my eye on a “Mist Flake”…😍
I think im in love, no power reserve, slim, lovely face and red hair......🤣 Seriously though, this addresses the Three main issues GS have, 1)spring drive, I dont mind it, nor do I GAF. 2) Hugeness, this isn't. 3) NO POWER RESERVE😍🤩🤩🤩🙏🥰 Im a seven but I'd buy it, after vintage 36 is fine.
Also, no date, joy joy joy. Lets call it the Only GS that Isn't Silly .....
RIGHT?!?! This is the GS for those who have reservations about GS! I really can't find anything big to complain about! ...... but I can always find small things to complain aobut ;)
@@BrittPearceWatches Its a real winner imho.
Told you it would be this model ;) by the way for perfect fit with GS bracelets you can swap 2 half links with a regular one as the half links are not exatly half the size of a regular link but a little bit more than that :-D (I have no issue with my Snowflake)
ITS CALLING ME IN!!! You were sooo right!
@@BrittPearceWatches and if you don't like the bracelet it would still be a killer on a strap ! Get the GS Omiwatari to Watchpapi and you have the perfect his and hers 🤗
Seiko do have awesome nicknames…such as the snowflake ❄️, so unique it could only be associated with Seiko. It’s up to us, to hell with Rolex!
I'd say good luck to anyone who wants it, but it's definitely listed as "Sold Out" on their online boutique at least. Probably have a tough time finding one given how limited they are.
Oh blimey! :( sad times!
@@BrittPearceWatches Well, that might not include the brick and mortar boutiques. And they're bound to show up 2nd hand. So it might be tough, but not impossible. 🙂
I am so pleased that you don’t like second hands on dress watches. But I only think it comes with maturity in this hobby. Initially you just want to know the watch is alive, but later on you want to style.😂
This was me being quite reserved in my hatred for seconds hand on dress watches. ;) I could get into a horribly snobby rant on what a dress watch is meant to be..... BUT I HELD IT IN! ;)
I love the Elegance Collection but most are too small for me. I wish you'd buy one so I can live vicariously.
Bahaha, welllllll, I GUESSSSS I should buy one then. ;)
Got the same work Top's in my Kitchen Brittany 👌
Hey hey! A man of taste! 😜
Gringa. You are the best
Oh bless you! Thank you so so much! ❤️❤️✨✨
“Grand Seiko has a boner for nature”… I think I heard Jenni Elle say the same thing! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂👏🏻👏🏻 I heard it on Hodinkee as well. 😜
You made this stuff lovable and enjoyable, dear Gringa!! T u !!! PS Love GS !! and I called that Rolex GMT for left hand “ugly duck”
Yes you drank the kool aid!!!! Grand Seiko is on another level as far as I am concerned. Nice watch but again another limited edition not surprised. Great job gringa!!!
BAHAhaha! You absolutely nailed it! They are on another level! And I’m so excited to see what they keep bringing us!
I have the sbga415 and I totally agree the one thing gs need to give us more adjustment on the bracelets.
I have few faults against GS, but this is a major one for me
Britt!! You should check out the SBGW277 and SBGW275 ;-) You want to see Green and blue/green done to a level of insanity?? Then these kill it with the light play! The pink is great, but the new green by GS and by Kurano are just on another plain of existence!
THAT NEW SANTOS ON YOUR WRIST !!
Ouuu hooooo! YES IT IS! ;)
Happy Belated Birthday:) “Snow Cherry”?
Given the possibility :
Would you get this GS over a pink dial Rolex 36 mm OP ?
Would you get this GS over a similarly manual wound 36 mm pink dial Nomos Club ?
Bottom line, this GS remains a dressy manual wound watch, which requires more involvement than grabbing a blue dial Tudor BlackBay. Should you buy this pink GS, which other watch from your collection would immediately lose wrist time ?
I would definitely choose GS over the pink OP! But not over a black OP. Just hate the pink Rolex uses!
I think this watch is a bit too different from the club campus to compare! 😱💕 so club campus > GS!
You’re so right! When you say yes to one thing, it means saying no to another.
Love your video on gs they are awesome
I bought the Snowflake and I love it
Ouuuu soo good! A CLASSIC! 🔥🔥
Missed ya!
Oh bless! It’s good to be back! ✨✨
Glad to see you showing Grand Seiko some love. They have some GMTs I really want. Watch Papi and I have the same size wrist, so now I will take particular interest in his wrist shots. How long until you share a video of your b-day present from Papi? What happened to the G-Shock livestream? It was airing while I was at work and it isn't public.
Whaaaat I thought it was up?!?! Let me investigate now! :) The GS's HAVE BEEN BOUGHT!!!! But I haven't been home in 2 weeks! 😢 So I need to go HOME AND GET MY NEW WATCHES!
@@BrittPearceWatches UA-cam had a tech issue for a couple days where livestreams went to private after initial broadcast.
The Snowcherry. Or the Cotton Candy. I think those would be suitable names for this watch. Of course the official name of the left-handed Rolex is the Shitstain.
Seiko, the brand of unlimited number of limited editions
It's very handsome. Lovely dial. Tad small for me. But, smart nonetheless.
It definitely is a tad small isn't it! It's not for everyone. I really think it is PERFECT for a 6.5 inch wrist!
I like my GS and it has a simple name “Toji” nothing long and complicated
Ahhh so good!
I want to like GS, I really do. I have been searching for an alternative to the Rolex OP 36 or DJs that are available and it's been hard to find. These GS watches are close but doesn't quite fulfill the full package. I like the size at 36.5 and dials, as well as price, but darn if they don't miss on bracelet and movement. Even if these were a bit thicker to fit in a spring drive or automatic movement would be great.
I think the BIG things that are missing here, is the lack of microadjust! (so you get the 5mm with the OP!), and I'd miss the lack of LUUUUME the OP has!
Agreed. I’m really keen to own a GS but sadly, they are just lacking sex appeal in many areas
Aboot time!… anyone would think you had a milestone birthday and family over 🙈🙈🙈
Bahahah!
