The one I bought on my 60th birthday. But this is SS case, solid case back, different color dial, same movement, and almost a decade ago. What can you do? Cazalea ...

3rd time in a few years and it’s not limited. Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan and own a an example of the first re-edition, but this just seems kinda lame pushing on the same old strings from GS in terms of concept, even though the execution still good. An...

I could kick myself for not buying the old GMT ivory dial a few years ago in Kyoto.. along with a SBGW031 that surfaced locally but didn't give too much thought at the time thinking Seiko-G/S would always be around. I got a bit sad when they decided to go...
