- In this video, I compare the original snowflake to the current one. Which one do you prefer, double logo or single logo??

Such a classic the snowflake really is the perfect one watch collection
It can be easily that!
what if I have 52 watches?

@@vivekvig454 50 is the right number I have found. Stick with Casio, Citizen, Seiko and most importantly Orient for bulk of them.
This is my most preferred watch in my collection. No matter what honey moon I have with other newer watches, I always go back to the snowflow eventually.
I can totally understand ✊
Damn I was just researching this! I'm starring at my sarx055 baby snowflake and it's like telling myself I have a sbga011 xD!
That’s another great piece for sure!
I prefer the newer version, I will be buying it at some point in the future, great video!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome! Thank you!
Great comparison. I was leaning toward the 211, but I think you changed my mind for the better!
Great video man 👏
Appreciate it!
Great comparison. If you know, you knowwwww❄️❄️❄️
Haha thank you!
Just bought the SBGA413 Shunbun, It's a great watch !
So... any good band options for the Snowflake?
Wondering partially for a different option, and partially to prevent scratches on the bracelet and going more casual. Win win.
I haven’t tried any but you can get suggestions from the Facebook group Grand Seiko Owners Club.
I use a leather strap from grand Seiko which works perfect . The watch is almost perfect but get the feel that GS as a whole can do better in their bracelets
Bought the SGBA011 straight from Japan a few weeks ago (looks flawless) and I've been alternating between leather straps and the titanium bracelet. I find a navy blue strap makes the dial and second hand really "pop".
Congrats on the purchase!
For me, I’d pick the SBGA211 just cause that one mm lost in the dial looks better for my smaller wrist 😵💫
I am thinking of trading my Cartier santos for this watch.
I personally prefer the double signed 011. I like how you can sneak under the radar, as it has an applied Seiko logo at the top.
The applied GS emblem at the bottom lets people who are logo snobs know its a GS as well.
I think the text balance better, as you do. Additionally, aince the 211 will be in production longer than 011, i think they will be more rare.
All good things!
GS puts out so many "Limited Editions" but the truly limited models are the ones they aren't making anymore.
Well said!
I own the SBGA259 - the “golden snowflake” - the gold just adds so much warmth and depth with the titanium.
Very nice! That’s a nice and rare model. I hope to see one in person.
I have 6.5inch wrist would the 011 fit better than the 211? Great video!
You won’t be able to tell the difference. I suggest you go with the dial you prefer!
Cant go wrong with either, but i prefer 211 not because of seiko, i like seikos. I just prefer the cleaner, less cluttered dial over the snowflake.
That’s also a good point!
I’m turning 40 this year and top of my list is the SBGA011 I’d love to add one to my collection!
Great value nowadays.
I like them both.
Extremely helpful video (as always!). I was trying to answer this question before making a Snowflake purchase and I did go with the 011. In addition to my 413…😮
That’s a great combo right there! 👍👍
6:27 It's like you took this unformed thought in my mind and put it into words! The double logo truly does look more balanced to me.
😂😂
Hi, I’m intending to buy a (used) SGBA011. How can i be shure that it’s real and not a fake?
Buy from a reputable dealer.
I dont think there are any fake spring drive movements. And with a transparent back, it'll be easy to confirm the movement is spring drive (mechanical, but wheel goes in one direction continuously without any choppy clicking back and forth, and no fork)
Looks the same.
But look closer…
Call me old fashioned: I wouldn't want to spend 7k and see Seiko on the dial
Fair enough!
@@BrokeWatchFanatic don't get me wrong I love Seiko's! I have about 15..❤️❤️
Secondhand for the SBGA011 is about $3k atm.
