My no date GS

Impressive collection, Cazalea! and what a valuable catalogue that you share.
Here's my SBGW005. I think they stop producing it. Has a second blue hand and I would say the dial is actually off white or even creamish depending on the lighting. Regards

The vociferous "No date" supporters are a tiny minority amongst PuristS and general watch owners. They just shout louder. Most owners have both date and dateless watches. I have no particular fixed view as the date display is compulsory in some circumstan...
Yes, you are right, the NO-DATERS are a minority

But I had to be provocative, as I was trying to get them to consider buying a Grand Seiko and there happen to be plenty of no-date models. Unlike the Seiko clock I am working on this morning. Cheers, Cazalea ...
