The SBGM221 gets a lot of praise. And if I was going to buy a GS, that would be the one. HOWEVER, it’s not very grand seiko-y. The case and the dial are rather plain, though the finishing is top notch. It looks more like a classic European dress watch than something Japanese and uniquely GS.
For me, the snowflake is the signature, with something like the white birch coming in a far behind it.
