The Yacht-Master line of Rolex has never been a hugely popular series from the acclaimed watch house. That is not necessarily a bad thing though.

Owner review: Grand Seiko Diver SBGA229

When I first started looking at Grand Seiko and their Spring Drive watches, it wasn’t the Snowflake that caught my attention, it was a large dive watch with the reference SBGA029.
