Not a easy decision for sure

I am lucky to own the original Snowflake as well as the SBGY007. Like others have said if you are able to, get both but if I have no choice to keep only one - my heart will go with the SGBY007 Omiwatari. You really have to spend some time with it to appreciate the subtle chameleon shades that the Omiwatari goes to that is pure light poetry. Granted it is more pricey than than the Snowflake and though both are Spring Drive, the Spring Drive on the SBGY007 is a manual wind which gives a real tactile connection with the watch to manual wind the Spring Drive movement. Some pics to share of the Snowflake and the SGBY007.

Would you trade the current Snowflake...

For one of these?.... All three are part of my favorites from Grand Seiko but the Snowflake was the first love.... Any thoughts or opinions are welcome. Enjoy the weekend! -D- Trim Illustrations ...  

Those are very nice and tempting. But there is only one snowflake.

So in the end it’s tough. What does your heart tell you?

My heart basically says the same thing about the Snowflake!

Both of these are tempting but more expensive than the Snowflake.. They are all somewhat similar so I can't say I would want 2 of of the 3 in my collection as I fear one of them would not get enough attention... -D-

I would for this ... SLGA009

Unfortunately looks very different from the pictures in real life. The dial is way too silvery and shiny for my taste.

Because it's the classic, unhelpful advice...

Get all three!!

Because of my small wrist

I'd take the manual wind SD. But if I had a bigger wrist I would still get the snowflake.

I was able to compare the sky flake to the 007

And boy was it a tough decision. I ended up with the sky flake because although the dials were similar the sky flake blue seemed more prominent which was what I was looking for. Both of your choices are great watches good luck! ...
