    I have never owned a Grand Seiko and this post represents my first steps into what will likely be many months of research before I buy any new model. I have been fascinated by the GS Cherry Blossom dialed watch, which shows as part of the "Japan Seasons Heritage Edition" and is denoted as the Spring piece.

    -Is this the only GS with this style of textured pink dial? I do mean the pink-hue specifically, as I realize there is a similar white and maybe even other color options, but I thought there was also a stand-alone model not part of a themed collection. I could easily be wrong.
    -How "pink" is pink? My understanding is it's very subtle and that unless you know it's pink you won't really see it that way in most light conditions. Does it show more indoors or under natural sunlight?
    -Any real world shots? Have seen the vids on youtube and Seiko pics.
    -What kind of strap would go best with this case/dial combo? Pics on a strap appreciated.

    Blue would look great. Maybe a burgundy as well but might make the pink too much.
