A twin sisters Grand Seiko manual wind, which one do you prefer?
On the left is the GS63 caliber, case size is 39mm and on the right the GS64, case size is 37.3mm, both are manual wind and I love manual wind. The blue dial is very beautiful, yet the cream dial of the other is very nice too. Both can be a very nice dres...
Must say I'm not a big fan of the new dial, nor the case shape. I'd go for the smaller, more conservative watch without question.
In fact, Grand Seiko's recent dress watch activity has me worried. Trying too hard, it seems to me. In my view this is what happened to Zenith when Biver took over. Some will argue "Great new advances in technology," "Pushing the envelope!" For me, Zenith...

Exactly what I feel like looking at the SBGW231, it look much alike the Calatrava
And the SBGk005 reminds me of a bit of Cartier Drive, which is also cushion shape.
