Jeez I'm just wondering where to find a comparison video of these two beauties. And here I am.
You’re setting a new standard for watch reviews! Excellent work Hafiz! 👍🏽
Thanks so much. :)
Brilliant touch having the sweeping hands going in unity and in one shot heading towards each other. The usual A* content, thanks!
Thanks so much :)
Wow, I knew Grand Seiko made flawless watches but holy crap, your macro shots are absolutely stunning. You do a great job at capturing every single last detail of each timepiece you review. Amazing videos, can't wait to see more!
Thanks so much :)
Finally got my Skyflake a week ago. I think your video really helped me decide to get it. It is truly amazing...
Approximately how much does it cost
Snowflake all the way, I’m getting mine on Tuesday
Both exceptionally fine and exquisite timepieces. You can't go wrong with either one. Grand Seiko means business
Such a great comparison! For me the Skyflake really stands out if you see it in real.
These brothers of Grand Seiko are absolutely brilliant. Another well done video!
One of my favourite watch channels, reviewing two stellar offerings from one of my favourite brands! Excellent, as usual! 😃😃😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much :)
This was a great help to choosing my first Grand Seiko!
Got into watches about 2 months ago - personally think you are one of the top four watch reviewers on TH-cam along with Bark&Jack, WatchFinder&Co and Teddy Baldassare.
Hope you get the great attention and appreciation much needed very soon!
"Hi, Im Tim" channel is amazing too! I think WatchBoxReviews
Once again great macro and narration! please review some JLCs! keep up the great work
Thanks so much. Most likely next week I have a very special JLC 😃
I was actually deciding which GS to get between these two right now. Good thing you made this video,thanks man.
I have the "Baby Grand Snowflake" (Presage SARX055) and I can't stop looking at it. I've had it for a week. It's incredibly beautiful. I can only imagine what a true Grand Seiko provides. I plan on buying a GS because of my love for the SARX055.
That Skyflake is simply impressive.
Great video. My snowflake has been getting a lot of wrist time recently. The workmanship and accuracy of this watch is incredible.
Grand Seiko's big weakness is the bracelets, and the case shape. If only they would make the bracelets with micro adjustments, and the cases thinner and more like dress watch cases, they would be great.
Agree on clasps but case work is one of GS strong points. The angles on the case and curve on the lugs make them wear a lot thinner. Thin this thing down too much and you won't be able to incorporate any angles, so you'll just have a boring case design like a normal dress watch would. Also consider that this is a crossover between sport and dress, so it was never intended to be a pure dress watch- it's perfect for the one watch man in the same way a white date just would be.
That youtube short showing the blue snowflake on a white strap looked so beautiful.
Thank you, Hafiz!
I have watched this video a dozen of times and finally pulled a trigger on Skyflake.
Because, you are the only watch advisor I can trust)
Kind regards, Yuri
Same here haha:)
A very wise choice!
Hafiz, thank you VERY much for your immaculate attention to detail when doing a review. Over the year I have come to anticipate your reviews knowing that they would be brutally honest, with no exception. I mean this sincerely with high praise!
Please keep it up!
Awesome review!!! You really clarified some things for me, and are one of the few videos that has wonderful close ups of the alligator strap model. Big Thanks
Nice video, pointing out more subtle details and differences than I realized. I like both, leaning toward Skyflake, but still undecided.
This is the exact video I was looking for as I couldn't decide between the two. Now, I know - Snowflake it is.
Your videos and very good and informative and beautifully filmed. You don't sell watches and give your honest opinion. Your narration shows that you take time and care over your words. You truly love watches. Thanks Hafiz.
This is a fantastic comparison! I have a skyflake and my friend a snowflake, I had no idea of these differences! Thank you!
Today I decided to drive my perfect 2018 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71 on a beautiful morning wearing my perfect watch my Longines Record white dial I love this watch it is perfect. Yesterday I had my Seiko SBDC055 such a perfect diver watch and tomorrow I will be wearing my Citizen eco drive the perfect Monday watch and Tuesday I will wear my Omega Speedmaster Sandwich, come to think of it I have the perfect watch collection and one of this days I will add this beautiful perfectly executed GS snowflake to my collection. Thank you for another perfect and beautiful video. Life is beautiful,close to perfect. P/S it takes me about 18 months to save for a new watch and I think it is just perfect.
Fantastic review. Forget Rolex. Why have machine-made at more than double the cost of GS? Spring drive is arguably the best movement out there. And as for which is my fave of the two... I’m thinking of pulling the trigger and getting BOTH the sky- and snowflake!
The Skyflake looks surprisingly stunning on the wrist shots!
Nice comparison. Both are very striking.
the snowflake is definitely my next watch, it is beautiful
The video we’ve been looking for ..... I love both by Skyflake, I just can’t escape it. It’s too beautiful. Too refined. Too amazing!
I was looking for this exact comparison and came across your video. Great job Hafiz.
The best comparison of them I have ever seen 👍
Personally I usually prefer dressier style, but the non-matching date disk is really an eyesore for me.
Both fabulous and a review nicely conveyed
Thanks so much. I should have pointed the date too but thanks for the comment; anyone who reads can see it now :)
id take the skyflake! it looks like morning snow 😍😍
Excellently made comparison video with truly revealing macro shots for each of the beauties, keep the good work up Hafiz. Best wishes
Absolutely stunning work sir .Exactly what I wanted to find out about these two pieces ! Thank you
First-time watcher. An outstanding video outlining the subtle and fine details of two beautiful GS watches. At the moment, I have three GS watches and will eventually add one of these snowflakes as my next GS watch. Hafiz, it's still a tough choice for me. However, after watching your video, I think I will lean towards the venerable white snowflake. Tanks.
I prefer the Snow Flake tried one on it is so comfortable and light and looks amazing I prefer Grand Sieko over Rolex the build quality is stunning
Hafiz. You have some of the best watch reviews ever. Definitely best quality videos.
Thank you so much. I’m so very happy to hear this :)
Thanks for watching me.
amazing review, great video, you are very talented. .Skyflake has my preference for my small wrist.
gotta order a bracelet for occasional swap tho
Nice job. You really have a terrific eye for detail. Interesting look on the leather strap. I have the Snowflake, but see advantages of both, but despite the fact they are both water resistant to the same amount, psychologically I feel better with a screwed down crown.
Saving this to cast on proper telly !
Today I bought myself the SBGA407G 'Skyflake'.
Since I already have the SJE073J1 Presage Automatic Limited Edition, the difference in wrist feel and overall look, I went for the more 'different' looking watch.
Currently looking to buy a GS and after searching the web, came across your wonderful videos. I loved your review on the comparison between both "Flakes" I never realised that there were so many small differences. Thank you for your reviews :-)
I prefer Skyflake (blue Snowflake) as it has more texture. The real snow looks a bit blue in morning.
The thumbnail is 🔥as well as this review! Love it
Fantastic video! Thank you for this. I would love to see the snowflake on a leather strap to compare with the skyflake on leather. Maybe the snowflake could be more versatile with the bracelet, then add a strap for more formal occasions?
Thank you for the detailed review and measurements! Extremely useful as a reference for my own wrist.
Good job Hafiz! Beautiful...
the Ray Mears "Wilderness Axe" by Gransfors - is perfect.
I think I would pick the skyflake over the snowflake.
Would need to see it in person to know for sure.
I find the skyflake more dressy. Both are gorgeous though. Grand Seiko is next level.
Now Grand Seiko need to release the Corn Flakes!
Haha. I won’t review that if they do 😅
I the tranquility and refections present in your reviews.
Excellent dude.
By the way I think there is a perfect watch. I almost had one. I bought the 36mm Omega quart royal/electric blue (1538 movement). I should have bought the 41mm, but apart from that it was perfect. ... It was incredibly accurate to gaining only half-a-second a month. The second hand prefectly hit every second marker on the dial. I used to just watch it tick around mesmerised.
Skyflake on a fine mesh would be my choice, but due to the 19 mm lug size a nice mesh would be very hard to find.
Damn you're good. First watch reviewer I will sub to.
Thanks so much :)
High quality video. Hope you get more subs.
I love your videos. Thanks for the comparison of these two fine watches.
Thanks so much :)
Ur video is more like watching Oscar winning movie.
Thanks so much. I’m so happy to hear that :)
Another incredibly detailed video. Thank you Hafiz 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amazing review! Very high quality
AMAZING B roll
Thanks for the honest comparison!
I guess Hafiz is a professional product photographer with Macro lens
Definitely not professional photographer or videographer. I’m a mechanical engineer by profession.
Watches and videos are my hobby :)
Really great reviews and super helpful for people choosing between the two.
At 4:59 you mention the 3,6,and markers, the proper geometry name for that shape is a frustum.❤
sky flake is more refined and elegant for sure.
1:28 great looking shirt!
Goes very well with the Skyflake imo.
Off topic but who makes this shirt? Thanks 🙏
Great review especially when I m caught with a dilemma which to choose.!
love the skyflake, hate the ugly date.
I have the SBGA259 that i chose over the SBGA211, no regrets for me, I love it :)
I have the 211and love it. I know if I had the 259, I would love that too. The watches are just unique and terrific.
nice narration
Very strongly confused between a Skyflake and Cartier Santos.
The iconic nature of Santos is pulling me there. But then, the happiness of looking at a beauty of a Skyflake is unimaginable. Totally confused
Excellent review, however, I am now more confused than ever as to which watch to get.
awesome review
I leaved a sub
keep it up
I just bought my sbga211g snowflake :)
Sorry. I don't like both because of the power reserve indicator on the dial. It throws off the symmetry.
Beautiful and very well producer video! Thank you 😁
This video was incredibly helpful. Thank you!!
The skyflake is perfect
Loving your work Sir.👍🏿
Excellent in depth overview for both of these iconic GS watches, Hafiz! Keep up the great work 👍
Skyflake is my pick
production is stunning
Thanks for the review. Great observations
Very nice summary!
Top notch comparison review
To me, A Lange & Sohne watches are perfect!
Lange are no match - they’re another class, and sadly very another price too.
@@HafizJMehmood in compared to PP or AP, ALS has way better value and price at the higher quality.
Umm. I think you were meant to post this comment on AP vs PP video?
This is GS comparison so I’m not sure why you’re comparing APS with GS. They’re not the same level.
@@HafizJMehmood I am a big fan of your channel. I watch all of your videos. I am aware that you have also reviewed AP and PP. The reason I brought it PP, AP and ALS up is because you mentioned " there is no watch is perfect ". In my humble opinion, even GS, PP, AP and VC are not perfect. In my eyes, ALS is perfect. Hope this clarifies.
Ah ok. Got it knowing the context now.
I personally don’t compare Lange with Ap or Patek. Lange are dress watches in precious metal, whereas AP and Patek are leaders of steel luxury watches and integrated watch concept. Now Odysseus has come in but it’s got a long way before it will be anything close to Royal Oak or Nautilus.
I love Lange myself but I personally don’t think there’s any comparison - they’re like different genre watches.
I thoroughly enjoyed your blog. Thank you for sharing.
If it had lume it would become legend
I wish if the Skyflake came on a bracelet. Maybe in the future?
I think it’s less likely because the GS elegance collection has always been on leather, which is where skyflake is from.
You can purchase the stainless steel bracelet for the skyflake
Skyflake all day
Bro! Love the vids.
Stylish review Mr Hafiz thankyou.
Great video. Thank you for making it. Subscribed.
Good review 👍
Excellent video👍
Excellent video. Love both watches and really digging that shirt! Where's it from?
Bob J thanks so much. The shirt Is from Ralph Lauren :)
What would you choose between the snowflake and the Datejust 41? Both similar size, and similar features, except the power reserve.
Bro, problem with me is my hand is small. Just 6 inch. Thats make me sad when looking at others wearing beautiful watches. I like dive watch but the only can suit me is skx013.
I vote for the Snowflake.
