what I don’t understand is that the original 44GS cases look nothing like the modern interpretations.

The KS 45-7000 seem to have more in common with modern GS 44cases (like yours) in term of case,hands and sizings.

Vintage GS 44GS cases are completely different looking….very weird

44 GS case madness

After seeing some 40mm 44GS case which sadly didn’t fit me, I took a deep dive into vintage Seiko world. For now this KS (which has clear lineage with GS design language) should scratch that itch. ...  

An excellent solution!

I encounter the same issue GS 40mm is sadly too big on me so I’ll probably opt to a vintage seiko - grand seiko or KS in 36 to satisfy my Japanese thirst

I hear you… I went with this one

Fashion goes in cycles so hopefully they expand the sub 40mm offerings! This one is 36.5 and it looks like the hand set was inspired by your KS. I prefer this style of hands to the broader ones on the bigger models. ...

is to try on the 36.5mm SBGW291 that was launched last month. It measures 42.7mm lug to lug and is an absolutely gorgeous watch to wear. In addition, it has a manual movement which fort me is a plus. ...  

Thanks

I did try the brown dial, it was fantastic. Still broken hearted by this one though, it is unbelievably beautiful but my wrists say otherwise 😔 ...  

Like me, you made the right choice going vintage.

I’m a big fan of the smaller (sub 40mm) cases on many of the vintage GS.
