Grand Seiko Spam Dial

Another new pair of Grand Seikos dropped yesterday.

Apparently "the “dusty rose” hue of the SBGA509 conveys the early sunrise", but it somehow reminds me of Spam...

Oh yes I saw an ad for them. I usually am stunned by GS dials but I gotta concur that truly resembles spam, bologna or prosciutto. I think it’s the first GS dial I might actually say has an unpleasant look, I kinda like it.

OMG, I didn't want it before, but it's the perfect watch to wear when making spamsilog! The Filipino side of my extended family will be so proud!

Spam goes so well with eggs! 😀

And you can add whichever carb you like - rice in your case. Alternatively with noodles, or with bread if you're in Hong Kong. Such comfort food 👍

Yeah, if we have leftover spam from spamsilog, it usually becomes a 'spamwich' the next day.

We don't eat it as much as we used to ... Not super healthy and all, but I will still defend its reputation. My wife sometimes orders tocino spam online when she's feeling nostalgic.

Do we think Seiko comes up with a dial first or the story first?

I've pretty much given up on the marketing that this is the green of the insert forest / season here blah blah

that being said, it is nice then to not have to call this a (and it was the super hot color for a while) salmon

I'm pretty sure they create the dial, then do the spin. It's getting predictable how they repeatedly invoke nature - "the ___ colour represents the changing colours of the rocks / woods /forests / lakes / whirlpool / sky / clouds as seen over dawn/dusk/evening , over the mountain / lake / hills/ slopes of ____ prefecture"

I like how you properly call it Spin.

Everyone rags on Omega for the LE this LE that but Seiko is just as bad

Can't unsee it now, thanks 😲
Ditto.. glad I don't have it. Otherwise I would never be able to look at it the same way again. 😁
