Bottom one indeed.
Didn’t get the model number but it’s around 37mm, manual wind, clear case back, no date.
Must be this one.
SBGW231

It’s a chorus - they are saying: Look at us, aren’t we a nice trilogy....
Would be spring drive for me 
The two bookmarks attract me
and i ended up buying the urushi dial model
The bottom one could be my next target.

The price point of this particular Presage has crossed my tolerance.
Spend a few more and you’re in GS territory already.
So a manual wind GS is
Not all that special ?
Curious to know since it is in the radar🤔
it is a piece i miss...very simple, understated & robust...
even i wrote a review in this forum on it...https://www.watchprosite.com/page-wf.forumpost/fi-876/pi-7810768/ti-1070778/s-0/t--a-novices-impressions-on-grand-seiko-sbgw031/
i had an idea to keep my collection below 4 pcs (i know that is a stupid idea)...so i sold this to keep the collection below 4 and bought the FPJ Chronometre Bleu (which i eventually sold too...don't ask).
imho, SBGW231 is a very good watch - excellent value proposition & elegant piece, my heart tells me i'll pick one too.
Go for it !

I prefer the look of the Presage over the other two GS
but the price of that Presage turns me off abit.
Definitely the SBGW231. 37mm is the right size for a dressier GS. Simple, clean dial. Off white colour which I like a lot. Manual wind.
I actually just looked at this watch yesterday again, and have looked at it numerous times before.
I would choose the one with no date. Mine say hi. The SBGW 253 manual wound and closed case-back.
Seen the a hw similar to the bottom one... Looks impressive but the hands looks more like those of vintage watches not the current gs hands
I'd prefer if it's the current style hands
SBGW231 is great
It’s a simple watch but the case is so good, funny enough gets a lot of compliments from non watch people. It has a vintage vibe
I'll take the SBGW231 out of those three but
I don't know which one to pick between the SBGW231 and the SBGW235 (Ivory dial, blued-seconds hand, beads-of-rice bracelet). If you want to buy the bracelet separately for the SBGW231 it costs around $1,200.
