A Lovely Pair

As the water of Lake Suwa freezes in the winter, the 'Omiwatari' tradition means this is where the Gods walk over over the ice. The watchmakers at the Shinshu Watch Studio were thus inspired to create a special dial with subtle textures in blue for a hand...  

Cool!

The answer I most expected

Grand Seiko has just launched another one with a pink dial

I don't suppose you want that too....

It is the SBGA413G

A bit girlie, IMO

Absolutely understandable

The Spring Drive movement is incredibly accurate+/- 1 second per day. The Kirazuri method used on the dial of the Genbi Valley translates into "sparkling painting" with the help of dense flora.

both stunning

but for choice no doubt I would go for the green!

Thank you. Yes, the green is surely more eye-catching

but not easy to find the attire to go with it....

Lake Suwa: The inspiration for the ice blue dial.

I prefer the ice-blue, textured dial. It's a great color with lovely texture reflecting the Japanese feel that is seen in this rarely occuring ice-formation. While the green too is nice, I will settle for this one!! ...  

Wow....a great picture

Is it the one of the lake? I have never seen it myself...

Yes, it is a pic of the lake.

The unusual ice-formation is considered a rare phenomenon because in Lake Suwa the ice freezes in piles of ice making a line, the on which the gods walk.

Movement, power reserve and no visible screw heads on the back make it easier for me. And though colour is intriguing on right, i think I would tire of it over time. Buts that’s just me. Texture of dial on left clinches it though the case shape a bit too ... 

Agreed completely

honestly, I couldn't make up my mind so at the end I took both. Being housed in steel cases, they are relatively affordable

The green dial is attractive

But I prefer the textured dial, as well as the near perfect proportions of 38.5 x 10, so the one on the left . I really don’t think you can go wrong with either 🙂

I agree with the remark on proportion

The watch fits my (relatively small) wrist very well...
