Shortly after I got my first Grand Seiko, SBGM021 GMT, I followed up with yet another purchase in a span of two months. Seems to be on a buying craze but this one is irresistible. You see, while I was hunting for a snowflake 011, a friend tipped me off that my local Seiko boutique in Singapore have stock of this so I went down to take a look. While there, I discovered yet another Springdrive model, the Limited Edition 500pcs SBGA103 which does not have a snowflake dial but have a radiant silvery sunburst dial with an improved springdrive movement and the same smooth motion blue-steel second hand. One look at it especially in ambient light and I am 100% convinced this is the one to get instead! Moreover, I was told this one has been discontinued and highly sought after. And of course, the usual Grand Seiko immaculate finishing that makes you wonder why one would even paid for all these over-priced Swiss watches.
