I bought my first Grand Seiko in Japan at the iconic Wako building in Ginza. It should have been the perfect watch buying experience. Thanks to todays sponsor OVTLYRs - https://ovtlyr.com/?fpr=jag Instead, it didn’t quite go to plan. In this video, I share my honest experience purchasing the 37mm Grand Seiko Snowflake in high-intensity titanium with the 9F62 quartz movement, what happened when I noticed an issue with the seconds hand alignment, and how it affected the overall moment. This isn’t a rant — it’s an honest reflection on luxury watch buying and why the experience matters just as much as the watch itself. Would you have handled it differently? Let me know in the comments.
