The Asian Snowflake

Seiko SBGA211G

 

This dial is really cool when you come close to it.

The Grand Seiko Snowflake is a unique watch.

The blue secondhand made a great contrast to the dial.

The titanium case and bracelet and the size of 41mm diameter and 12,5 mm thick feels well balanced in the hand.

The oversized screwdown crown is a little too high in my opinion but easy to handle.

The lugs have a brushed top and the bevels and sides are polished.

The logo get the feeling is flows over the dial.

The 72 hours power reserve meter.

The logo at the folding clasp.

The 9R65 movement don't shows so much through the glassback but the finsh of what you see is awesome.

10 bar WR

There is a logo at the crystal too.

Those are so tiny.

It's a very elegant watch.

And of course a wrist shot.

Holy smokes!

Outstanding watch and superb pictures. May I add the beveling on the hours markers is exquisite. Great post my friend and I owe one.

I am always in awe in front of the beauty and the quality of your pics my friend, really...

after all those pics and years of photographing it's hard to come up with something new and fresh. It feels like I already have done every angle of a watch.

Your feeling is wrong ...

No my friend you did not necessarily cover every angle of the watch : the light varies and the composition also, so the result is unique Take care, Mike

Would you like to be the Seiko forum official photographer?

I'm honored but I have only a few Seiko's. [nt]

What else can I write?!? Stunning. Do you mind sharing your camera setup? [nt]

My fav combo as I use is a Nikon D700 and a Zeiss Macro Planar 100mm and a Laowa 60mm for the real closeup's. [nt]

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : August 19th, 2018-04:39

D700?!? Fantastic! My first proper camera. Now I have an excuse to pull her out again 🙂 [nt]

 
 By: 5980 : August 19th, 2018-12:03

I have a D3x too

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : August 19th, 2018-12:18
but for studio work I like the D700 better.

Both D3X and D700 are great cameras for the macro pics we do here...

As for me, I have only one camera (D4S) that I use since long but the secret resides I think in the lens. I also use the same as you the great Zeiss 100mm macro Planar for almost all watch photography as you will see in the exif details of my gallery 136... 

Iconic!!!
