I could finally travel to visit the Seiko Miami Boutique where my Snowflake was waiting for me!

I wish to thank my friend Joel at the boutique who always helps me with his kind attention to get the pieces I’m interested in.

The dial is breathtaking and the accuracy superb!
A great GS!

Cheers! Abel

Having both of the best, electronic and mechanical in one watch is something that intriguing me a lot: and the story of failure and success behind its development is the cherry on the cake. Thanks for sharing your GS! massi

It is astonishing precise. In four days of wearing and the setting keeps exact on time since I set it the first day. Im very happy with it indeed. Cheers! Abel

... taking your new watch to the pool?? I feel Seiko guarantees 100 meters resistance so I can swim with it!! I answered... and jumped to water! Lol!! I love this watch!! Hope swimming will not harm it and I will keep enjoying it so much on dry land or pool!! Cheers! Abel

... for a long time! I tried last year at NY boutique but I had already depleted my watch budget. Lol!! I ordered a couple of months ago but I had to wait to be able to travel to USA to take delivery of it. Now I am enjoying it so much!! Cheers! Abel
