Good idea...
If you enjoy your GS SBGW047, it is likely you will love the quartz GS SBGV009 as well.
For me personally, SBGV009 is a necessary complementary piece to SBGW047. I take note on regular basis and the date feature on SBGV009 is very useful for me. That's why the designers at Seiko Epson call the SBGV009 "Evolution of Practicality" (or something like that in Japanese). The 57GS "Self-Dater" was designed in 1964 with the idea of creating the most practical high end SEIKO.
Half a century later, when Seiko decided to remake the 57GS in 2014, they stay faithful to their original idea. What is the most fitting movement for the most practical GS? SEIKO high accuracy quartz cal. 9F82 of course! 
Its spec is +/- 10 seconds/year, mine is still spot on with internet atomic time after two months. In my case, it's basically an atomic time reference on the wrist, give or take a fraction of second.

But during the weekdays, GS quartz is always my first choice.

Thinking about a quartz GS.....
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...
Hello vernon!
... to answer your question. All GS cases were/ are made like that - 13 to 15 times forging and in between 5 minutes heated at 1,500C (in case of SS, other metals are heated at different temperature). Then, shaved a bit and polished - edges are left compl...
