Really like the gold one
Shame it's a tad out of my price range!
Size is good & the black dial is fantastic, just wish the hour hand wasn't as chunky & more aligned in shape to other elegance series watches.
Thanks for sharing

The “Ice Forest at Dawn” Spring Drive U.F.A.
Last year, Grand Seiko introduced its groundbreaking Calibre 9RB2 – with an annual deviation of only ±20 seconds – in two variants of the Evolution 9 line: one in platinum (SLGB001) and one in titanium (SLGB003). This new ref. SLGB006 offers an 18k yellow...
I personally really like the look here,
but it's just a matter of personal taste. And I admit that the case could be more refined. But the dial and black/yellow gold combo look really good to me... Best, Emmanuel
Ultra Fine Accuracy, as mentioned above the photo of the movement ;-)
It is the modern updated version (±20 seconds per year) of the V.F.A. (Very Fine Adjusted - ±1 minute per month) launched in 1969. Best, Emmanuel
I like the platinum model the best.
The dial reminds me of Rolex’s combination of ice blue and platinum. With that movement it should have a solid caseback.
Agreed on the solid caseback.
And on the resemblance of the pt model with Rolex, which is part of the reason why I'm not fond of it: it feels Rolex more than GS to me. Best, Emmanuel

Very Fine Adjusted (V.F.A.) was the 1969 prowess: ±1 minute per month vs ±20 seconds per year for the U.F.A. Best, Emmanuel
I find it strikingly beautiful!
Could be a bit thinner perhaps, but the dimensions work. The dial is wonderful, and black and gold is always elegant. But at this price, there are some very compelling alternatives...
I agree with you on all counts, here.
Thickness, price, beauty, elegance... Best, Emmanuel
Also agreed on all counts. Aesthetically my cup of tea . . .
. . . to a 't'. Best, Art
I wish they would trim hands and indices
The watch face lacks elegance in my opinion, it would look quite a bit better trimming a bit of metal, the current design is too much in your face & heavy for my liking.
Really like the gold one

I also find this dial wonderful and I agree that the hands and indices could be slimmer.
But definitely very expensive... Cheers, Emmanuel
