Well there’s a surprise. I finally won an auction for a watch recommended in the Friday newsletter 🤣

The LE snowflake pricing you mentioned is interesting. Last year I similarly picked up an SBGA475, a 50 piece limited edition steel snowflake in 39mm made for a shop in Osaka. When I saw the specs I expected to pay 10k at least given the pricing for the regular snowflake is 8k odd now, but it was released at just 5k odd jpy even with mark up from the reseller I got it at a lower price (brand new) than a beaten up snowflake. Seems like these LEs were done as favours to mark the commemoration with no profit intended for GS. Ironically that’s my first and only modern GS as it sent me down this vintage GS rabbit hole!
