It’s nice but dare I say it, it is a bit like a two tone 36mm datejust old mans watch
To be honest the styling looks a bit AliExpress to me.
I think the 24 hr track would look better on the outside edge similar to this Longines.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Gets my vote, nice contrast between 24 hr numerals/hand and dial colour.
I like the watch but the strap doesn’t work for me, odd colour choice.
Not for me, the large baton markers and wide hour hand makes it look unrefined
Depends. As man-jewellery maybe not, but if you just want to read the time off it it's very legible to my eye.
F.T.F.A.
You can try it on via grand seiko's Instagram page. Cool idea but a bit fiddly to get right.
I like it the green but it's a but busy for me. Also, is it limited or just a WoS exclusive?

Lovely color combination. Seiko's been doing that green-gold combo quite a few times, and it always works well.
I loved the dial of tit's predecessor, but Ifelt it suffered from being a bit busy looking as others have pointed out.
This one is the same, but not helped by the darker dial (predecessor was white, and overall 'lighter' look). I don't mind the short hour hand as it helps to make legible in this dressier format (as opposed to have 24hr notation around a bezel). But perhaps it could live without the minute track, or just GS without the Grand Seiko wording - something to simplify the dial.
Also not a fan of green dial, although generally I've liked the Mt. Iwate styles in the past.
Not for me, but can imagine it will really work for many.
I think it looks great but it’s 13.7mm thick and it’s supposed to be a dress watch.....

Looks very nice, I quite like the dial.
Those baton markers are the same as the cream dial version which I owned and play with the light in a mesmerizing way. The dial is stunning also. The gmt hand on the cream version was stunning and that’s the only thing letting this model down for me. A real shame as I think it’s spectacular otherwise
I really like the green dial. In fact I much prefer it over its white dial equivalent.

I love the green iwate dial, but agree the GMT hand doesn't work - it's completely flat against the intricacy of everything else. Maybe that's to aid differentiation, but I feel it spoils the dressiness of the rest.
And just to open the usual can of worms - I'm not going to take a GMT on holiday without 100m wr, and this is 30m.
I love Grand Seiko, but not a fan of this one - the hands are a little wide and thirteen and a half millimeters is too thick for me.
Not that my current financial situation allows me to buy something like this anyway :)
