Is It Game Over: Snowflake Spring Drive SSD?
May 15, 2018,01:53 AM
Funny if I have to pose this question, but ever since I got the SSD, it has made owning the other GS/ Seiko models somehow “uninspiring”. To the extent that I’ve decided to let go the SBGW253 and is close to letting go the SLA017J.
Initially I was eyeing a trilogy version of my own Seiko collection. But looks like this is not going to happen anymore.
Is this normal or just a knee jerk reaction to the “Beauty and Versatility” of the SSD? I am not even considering getting a Hi/Beat GS.
Thanks in advance for your inputs!

It’s a bit strange and first time that it happened for me to lose interest on the other models of a particular brand. I just thought that the SSD is so perfect that it’s hard to find another one that will complement this. Not even the Hi Beat. But maybe I...

I got entranced by GS dials. This was my first Spring Drive: And this my first manual wind mechanical GS But then I found this one - mechanical, automatic, titanium, fascinating dial - and the manual wind went away and I found this and I knew it wasn't go...

For taking the time to show me your Seiko evolution. I’ll certainly heed your call and will hold on to any crazy decision.
Makes sense to me - the honeymoon period!

I haven’t sold the Divers and as advised by others thru PM, I’ll keep it for the time being until I’m pretty sure of letting it go. Will keep you posted.
Honeymoon period!

After I got my Chopard LUC Chrono One, I thought that was it... Same after I got my GS SBGH035. But there will be a next one, question is only when and which one
