I bought the Shunbun back in 2020 when it was brand-new, "limited production," and US only. It was my first Grand Seiko, and my first luxury watch. After lockdown, I went in to look at the Snowflake, but it left me cold. But the Shunbun grabbed me. I also looked at the Winter, but it left me kind of cold too, as it were. To my eye, and in the boutique lighting, it looked sooty. I sat on it for a while, but the Shunbun wouldn't let go, so a few months later I jumped the shark and I bought it. Up until that point, $600 was an expensive watch, and here I spent $6,000. And now, four Grand Seikos later, it's still my favorite and most worn watch.
I had them both in my hands at the AD, but the decision was extremely quick. I went for the Spring. The subtle pink and how different it looks under different light and angles is simply amazing. Being lighter than the Winter, this dial shows more clearly the beauty of its pattern. I simply love it. It was my first and only Grand Seiko. However, don’t get me wrong. The Winter is also very beautiful, but very “monochromatic” for my taste. That dial makes the difference and you can better appreciate it in the Spring.
I went for the shunbun. I love pink. And the way that Grand Seiko made the dial is so refined in that it teases your eyes to try and catch the elusive pink color as the light plays on its surface.
the reasoning at the end of the video is precisely why I got the Winter LOL. I like them both, but the contrasting blue second hand and the monochromatic feel of the watch is what I'm after. I wear it on aftermarket custom straps mostly, but when I put the bracelet back on, I almost never take it off. Well done GS.
I own the Shunbun. Love it. I wear the crap outta it. It's the perfect weight and size for me. The color is nice and goes with practically anything. The spring drive is awesome and the see through back is really nice to see the work that went into the insides.
I bought the Shunbun when it came out. Went in for the snow flake, saw the 4 seasons collection, and spring was by far the most remarkable dial to me. It is still one of my most worn watches. It feels weightless when compared to my other watches, disappearing on the wrist until you need it.
I went for the spring and put it on an ox blood leather strap which lifted the pink out of the dial. The strap was custom made by the strap tailor in the uk.
I love the story about how Seiko dominated a watch accuracy competition (usually the dominion 0f Swiss and German watchmakers) with such overkill that Seiko was banned from further competition, now that’s humbling, and look their watches are still more accurate , Very attractive and better value.
The shunbun is a strap monster. It can be hard finding an OEM GS deployment clasp but it’s worth buying because the clasp and a strap will make the watch wearable with just about anything.
I went into the AD so my wife could try on some watches (because, of course, i already had enough watches), but i made the mistake of trying on Spring. It was love at first sight. It is as beautiful a thing i have ever seen, and I left with it on my wrist. I'll be gazing at it for years to come. Long after I've finished paying it off 😬
I purchased the winter and I love it. So much that I am considering getting a new one. My pick would be toward the blue lake Suwa. Then I wonder: as much as I was willing to pay 6K for a GS, am I willing to pay 10K? Hasn't GS gone too far in pricing?
Cherry blossom owner here ( for several years now ) - My fav watch - hands down. I just wish it was a bit bigger. Also on a grey leather strap. Curious what strap others have or think looks good.
I recently had the chance to visit Japan and purchase the Taisetsu from the Ginza shop. It's truly a magnificent watch and, in my opinion, outshines the snowflake model. I was particularly interested in the Shunbun variant, but sadly, I didn't come across it in any store during my two-week stay. If it had been in stock, it would have definitely made my decision-making process much harder.
Was just in an AD looking between these two models. In real life, I was surprised by just how Pink the Shunbun looked compared to photo and video of it. That pushed me towards the Winter. Now I wonder if the warm incandescent style lighting in the AD was the reason…
Many thanks, Andrew Great psychotherapic episode as always. I chose the Spring one . I believe and notice all seasons together there With love and appreciation Nizar -Israel
I considered both, but from some deep gut instinct, went with the Winter. At first I worried that it was too gray, too monochromatic. But putting it on again recently after a while, I realized that cold gray dial is what's needed for the hands and indices to light up and flicker like fire in a cold, cold January. Now I think of the overall effect of the watch as "a warm glow in the midst of cold," and I love it.
@Andrew Morgan (Sensei) - The White Birch Shirakaba dial on the SLGA009 with the 5 Day 9RA2 superior movement will save you having both of the models you have compared. The White Birch dial on this one, being slightly different than the one on the SLGH005 automatic non-Spring Drive having deep waves, works for summer or winter as it is not quite Snowflake. Yes, that brings you up a notch on price but the quality all ways round is excellent. The 22mm lug width makes it a strap monster as I never wear it with the bracelet but with quick release leather and other material straps. The power reserve indicator is on the reverse seen through the case back. It is all subjective. GS is The Bomb with what they have produced in the last few years. It took me two years to completely get on board with a Spring Drive but glad I did. There is nothing on this planet comes anywhere near the technology. craftsmanship and specification for the price point. Arigato AndrewSan as we continue to Wax-On Wax-Off in collecting watches.
I have the slga009 as well. Power reserve is more like 6 days and the accuracy is phenomenal. I put it on an Artem blue strap to pick up the blued second hand.
I've bought the spring one but now I have sort of a buyer remorse. The winter one is more contrasted and legible, which is appreciable when you reach a certain age and your eyes are easily tired.
Owning the shunbun too, and after a few months understanding all design choices. There is so much to discover. For example the dial; depending on the angle it is pink, white, cloudy or even more whirly. Same with the polished edges of the hands and indices: depending on de angle the surfaces are reflecting, white or black. I can go on and on for other aspects of the design. Had to edit, add more: someone one notices the “top cap” on the rotation point of the second hand? It is a cap placed to hide the rotating axle of the movement. Blue hands do not have it…. I also suspect the design team to deliberately put on some surfaces shiratsu polishing and other hairlines because of scratch susceptibility: after few months some surfaces have limited signs of wear while others are complete untouched.
If what you care about is the dial, how about the same texture, but in a very pale blue? The SBGP017 gives you exactly that, in the legendary GS44 case, for about half the price. It's quartz, yes, but not just any quartz: it's the GS 9F85 "super quartz" caliber, good to within 2 seconds per year. That accuracy, IMO, is a cool factor equal to that of any mechanical or automatic movement. Thinner than a Spring Drive, it wears very nicely.
The winter 415 will be my next addition. The visibility of the textured dial, the blue second and the gold GS all take the points for me. thank you for pointing out the lack of a cap on the winters second hand, a small detail i hadn't noticed despite reaserching relentlesly. i must admit that is a very small - for me. a nice blue cap would finish that beautifully. However, the GS masters do everything or a reason, so i feel the missing cap was not an oversight. thankyou for great review on these fatastic pieces.
Simple I went for the blue dial in steel ;) purchased in Tokyo at the grand seiko store …just a fab watch as to the strap yeah I would agree it is better in a strap I have yet to buy the one though so just keep experimenting .,,
I went with the Spring Shunbun. Don't care about the bracelet, it's the dial that I wanted. And now I learn that the seemingly differing shades of the dial are by design.
My "cup would overflow" with either - as an aspirational old man. - But I must admit that for me PINK would remind me of younger times and hope of happiness in company ...
Great watches I have the pleasure of owning the Snowflake and the Shunbun and will purchase the Winter version as well soon. The dials really do pop and that sweeping second hand is mesmerising, sometimes forgetting I was checking the time and get caught up just watching the second hand.
The snowflake is 41 mm wide (not 40) x 49 mm lug to lug and wears quite a bit bigger than the cherry blossom's 40 mm x 47 mm lug to lug. For me the latter is a wee bit more interesting and refined and sits just a bit better at that size.
Got the GS gmt green dial..just mesmorising..perfect timing -1seconds day..Have a few expensive Swiss watches watches..nothing come close to GS expect Tudor Gmt BB
The shunbun is what brought me into GS. The "Katsuiro" SBGA469 is what ended up as my first GS. Love the Shunbun but with how much attention surrounds it, I opted for a less loved but just as beautiful model.
Shunbun. That's what I bought. I will admit that the winter's contrasting second hand, is something that GS should have done with the Shunbun. Maybe a dark pink, or red.
Hi I am looking to buy a Cartier roadster, I always wear a minimum size watch of 40 as my rest size is 6.5. I couldn't find any video on ur channel about the roadster Which model would you recommend
Epic pieces! I went in for a Snowflake and came out with the Shunbun which I've put onto a claret croc style strap. The bracelet is okay (although nowhere near as good as Rolex) but I tend to think GS heritage pieces look better on straps anyway. Snowflake next (although who knows what I'll actually come out with)!
I have the 427 also. I like the strap but the bracelet is more practical for me at work. Say, is there any other models you know of with the green second hand?
6:32 You can clearly see that the "G" and "S" in the logo have different shades of gold. Just like my Taisetsu did. Seems like a general issue with QC on Grand Seiko's side.
Winter for me. The hands and indices have a better contrast to the dial. The texture on the Spring is far more pronounced, I prefer the subtlety of the Winter. The lack of a cap on the second hand is a bit of a let down.
The ancient Japanese art of Wizardry...? 😂😂😂😂 Mate, I love your videos, but you have outdone yourself with these two watches, and this statement had me in stitches. BTW the Shunbun IS my grail watch; wow!❤❤❤
I would like to see the pink Shunbun with a navy ceramic bezel and pink gold hands. And another version with skyflake dial with burgundy ceramic dial and polished silver hands. Come to think of it...add in a black Shunbun dial with a titanium grey ceramic dial and white gold hands. Let's add a fourth a peacock 🦚 green with dark blue undertones like the water in Miami Beach with sapphire beze. l
I prefer Winter but I would choose the Spring because it is more unique. There's not another watch like it. Still, Grand Seiko's clashing fonts on the "GS" logo and "Grand Seiko" text is like scratching on a chalkboard. For this reason alone, I'd take none.
not even the biggest fan of rolex but everyone mentions grand seikos dials and never the movement finishing because your basic rolex is better finished (both are machined)
As someone who enjoys watches but isn't THAT knowledgeable I've heard over and over again that Seiko bracelets are trash and that GS bracelets are trash for their price. Can someone give me a ranked list of who makes the best bracelets, by brand and then ideally, for their price? Also any aftermarket makers of bracelets that are considered, at minimum, superior to Seiko? Thanks.
I went winter. It commemorated my son's birth, and I'll offer it to him to wear on his wedding day someday.
You cool bastard! That is fantastic.
Nice, mine is on my wrist awaiting my son / daughters arrival into the world, 2 weeks to go :)
@@dipaks534congrats!
Wonderful good for you
Let him keep it
I don't know about everyone else but the blued second hand is a must for myself. It simply completes the watch for me

It MUST be seen in person to fully appreciate. Stunning.
Wish I had tried the Shunbun on at the boutique in NYC. I was disappointed with Winter.
Great story. Thanks for sharing.
Yup. My sky flake is my favourite watch. Can’t stop looking at it.
What a great pick! I was seriously thinking of getting one but not sure if it matches with what I wear 😂. This dial is amazing!
I had them both in my hands at the AD, but the decision was extremely quick. I went for the Spring. The subtle pink and how different it looks under different light and angles is simply amazing.

Same - the Shunbun just had way more character.
The voiceover for these videos along with the background music is 🔥 -- well done!
went in for the spring and came out with the winter. The blue seconds hand was a must for me
I went for the shunbun. I love pink. And the way that Grand Seiko made the dial is so refined in that it teases your eyes to try and catch the elusive pink color as the light plays on its surface.
Andrew's narration and turn of phrase is so fun. GS is properly in my sights. Thanks Andrew!
Good video! I have the Taisetsu and my friend has the Shunbun, both look magnificent.
I went for the pinkish Shunbun two years ago. No second doubts. Still in shock regarding the details an craftsmanship.
Having looked at all four in person, Summer is actually my favorite. The bold gold and green is very distinctive.
The sticker on the back is still such a tragic mistake.

I choose the snowflake a year ago because of legibility (fantastic) and the blued second hand.
There's gotta be a reason they didn't cap that blued seconds hand right? Would it look weird maybe?

I chose the spring, went to AD and tried all 4 seasons, the summer came 2nd, the spring is simply outstanding.

looks like a spec of dust :(

The bracelet isn’t a no go for me, but the size and power reserve is. Other than that, I’d choose spring 🌸
I choose Spring as it fills me with Hopefulness for the year to come.
Put a basic explorer next to it, just as good or better Fit, finish, materials, quality, durability.
I went with the Slgh013
The shunbun is what brought me into GS. The "Katsuiro" SBGA469 is what ended up as my first GS. Love the Shunbun but with how much attention surrounds it, I opted for a less loved but just as beautiful model.
Yes the Shunbun gets a lot of attention in the watch community, but how many people do you know who has one? Or even just any Grand Seiko at all?
I went Spring/Shunbun. It has honestly taken the title of most iconic GS model in my mind
I like video in this format
Your voice makes my mobile phone sound like a premium iPhone.
Shunbun. That's what I bought. I will admit that the winter's contrasting second hand, is something that GS should have done with the Shunbun. Maybe a dark pink, or red.
I picked the spring because I knew for sure I would regret not getting the pink if I missed it
I went for spring.
For me holding them in hand, the decision came down to the lack of a heat blued seconds hand. But That's just me. I gotta have the blues somehow.

Spring, every day till summer!
I went with spring - it's simply more beautiful.
i would love to see a 35 or 36 with gold dial
Don't sleep on the other two Seasons =) The high beats are stunning! Of these two, the Shunbun is the icon.
Spring! I own the “Snowflake” though-the watch which put GS on the map….
both watches are magnificent... color and quality .. love them both
If it only were produced in 38 mm size, I would definitely buy one (probably winter).
Winter ❄️ on my wrist
The SBGA413 Shunbun needs a Red second hand. If it did, I'd picked it over theSBGA415. I love the Blue second hand.
I want the spring!….badly
I chose the Winter, because no matter how pretty, I want my watches to be practical too, and the Spring's legibility was just too poor for me.
6:32 You can clearly see that the "G" and "S" in the logo have different shades of gold. Just like my Taisetsu did. Seems like a general issue with QC on Grand Seiko's side.
that's simply the light source reflecting on the G more. I've never seen a variance on those two letters on a GS before.

@@allydea oh man, if it’s under warranty have em check it out. Sorry to hear that happened to your piece :(
@@prstito Thanks! I did get it sorted out. GS was very quick to fix it.
Great question. The answer is Omiwatari
