I really enjoyed your detailed review. I stumbled upon it in midst of a Google-search for Grand Seiko tang buckle; one of my best side-tracks, ever.
Your photos are splendid. The SBGW001 should be the benchmark for clarity of design.
Lacking your patience in dealing with the fully-wound conundrum, I opted for the less-concise PR version.
Just for fun, here's a pic of my SBGL017...

Not only that, I love the conclusion, and already own the watch. And I know Dr. No agrees with me (as shown in him posting his arm) One correction; your last movement shot shows a gold GS watch with snap back, and that's not correct for the watch you are ...
