Very nice. Is that the SRPB43J1? Is the dial an impressive as it's reported?
It sure is that model! I'm not sure about impressive being the right word for the dial, but it's certainly eye catching under the right lights. I think the blue and brown dials are a little more striking due to them being a little bolder and more noticeable.
It's a wonderful watch for the money though, that much is unarguable. I have actually had quite a few compliments about it that I haven't had with, say, my Aqua Terra, which was an order of magnitude more expensive. Good god I love Seiko watches.

Mine is the SSA343J1, with date subdial instead of window and power reserve.
I didn't have a watch with a power reserve yet and I wasn't convinced by the date on the other one as it isn't colour-matched.
If you'll forgive me, this is a copy and paste from the Incoming thread:
Gentlemen, I bought two watches today. The first was planned, the second I couldn't resist.
The planned one is a Grand Seiko Snowflake. I've always wanted one of these and it really doesn't disappoint. This isn't a great photograph, it needs a much colder light or sunlight to really make the most of the dial.
The second was very unexpected. They had told me that one of these was in stock when they emailed me about the Snowflake, but I didn't think I'd be that impressed. It's limited to 1,500 pieces worldwide (I think), and they seemed reasonably genuine when they said that they hadn't expected to get any more in, ever. A lovely gentleman (with a very impressive collection of cars back in Dubai) appeared to buy the other one as I was there.
Again, the lighting in the photo is poor, but it's beautiful. The movement is incredible too, almost as lovely to watch the second hand as the Spring Drive.
