Is this the original GS strap? If so I am impressed that they got more adventurous after all. Great watch at any rate and wear it in great health!

Yes it is

They opted for the ltd edition one 1850 Denier for the rougher optic, the regular 2 versions are 1000 Denier Nylon. Inside they put a rubber inlay against the sweat. The limited edition also comes with a blue silicon strap, nee design. Pic to follow.

Very cool!

And a great choice from Grand Seiko

Different to the 2 regular models

To match the texture of the dial, they opted for thicker 1680 Cordura nylon vs 1000 for the regular silver and black dial ones. Such attention to details. The inner side is a rubberised lining against sweat.

Mine says hi. ...  

The angular lugs and brushed case are impressive. And...

That is a very nice looking watch, and the case work is really impressive.

Very unusual

To have a mostly brushed GS :o) It clearly emphasis the casual smart side of the watch.

Some more pics

The mostly brushed case with some alternating polished surfaces reminds me of the mighty Royal Oak... also the brushed bezel with the polished rim. The dial really changes from a deep saturated matt blue to a lighter metallic blue with some luster. Superb...  

Congrats!

Looks brilliant. Show it to me next time!

Great looking watch

and great straps. What’s the lug width?

That series is so cool for sure!

I saw yellow version recently... Now I know why this is getting so popular - in Japan, people are making waiting list for these pieces. Congrats!! Yes, this is "fate" Ken ...
