Seiko

The movement finishing has changed.

 

The most modern version of the Cal 9R65 has a winding weight with striping on it:

Watch by Seiko, Grand Seiko, SBGA211




This is the version in the SBGA211 and was in the last SBGA011's.  Prior to that, and the most common version, of the SBGA011 it shipped with this version of the finishing:
Watch by Seiko, Grand Seiko, SBGA211


Note that the winding weight is brushed with a sunburst pattern.The earliest SBGA011's had this verison of the Cal 9R65:




The difference being how the winding weight it attached to the movement, in this case, with a flat-nose screw.For contrast again, here are the three versions of the 9R65 uncased:


(The earliest)



(Most common version in the SBGA011)



Watch by Seiko, Grand Seiko, SBGA211
(The current version of the caliber)



And on a final note,I too, preffer the SBGA011 to the SBGA211 smile
