Am in the Grand Seiko club SBGH269

All I can say is wow, I’m blown away! The dial, hands, indices and case are fantastic. The bracelet, aside from the screw/pin hardware, is also well done.
The quality appears easily comparable with several more expensive brands.
Topper comes through again.

The club is actually over on WUS and it’s an OFFICIAL club.

Around here we just dig cool watches.

That is definitely one.

Thanks all. I believe it’s called ‘Autumn’.
The story is autumn leaves, Japanese forests, lacquered floors. It roped me in.

Based on the earlier photos in this thread I went and tried one on at my local seiko boutique (they had 3 now 2)
I love the watch but it is to small for me.
I would have likely bought it at 42mm
Appreciate the heads up so I could go look at it
Cheers
