Hello again! I'm thinking about getting a quartz GS to go with my SBGW047. I was curious if anyone has either seen or owns either: - the Self Dater limited re-issue ref SBGV 009 / 011, or - the 44GS style SBGV 005 / 007. I like the Seiko historical re-iss...

Wow - what a threesome!

Thanks, Vernon, Good luck with your choice. SBGV005, 007, 009, or 011, I think you can't go wrong with any of them. :-)

Wow, here is another hard-core SEIKO fan....
