You can ask, but ...
The file now lists about 400 Grand Seiko models. My guess is about 20-30% might have display backs, but I have no way of knowing that apart from researching each model again on the web, and looking for images of the back, or if very lucky, finding a text reference.
I'd be happy to add the column if you have the data...
I built the spreadsheets the old-fashioned way by dogged determination and hard work. I might someday have time to research it, but not in the next month or two.
In the meantime here is the full spreadsheet if you haven't seen it.

"Date-Free" Watch Shopping available now from Grand Seiko
Many of us, being opinionated PuristS, tend to go on and on about "NO STINKING DATE WINDOWS" on our watches. After reading the umpteenth thread on this, as Moderator on this sub-Forum I have decided to take action. Herewith, the table of Grand Seiko model...
You never fail to impress, Cazalea :)
Thank you for this no date summary of the Grand Seikopedia! The hunt is on
The "Grand Seikopedia" I like that!
Thank you for the compliment. Now I have to fix the one wrong image I found this evening ... Cazalea
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 ...
I love that watch too
The color of the dial has proven very elusive and too varying to describe verbally, although "sort of white" is adequate. Cazalea ...
To be fair
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 ...
Beautiful collection and list!
Impressive list Cazalea!!!! Thank you. There are atleast two watches from the photos above I want to start hunting for immediately. Such beautiful elegant dials you have in your collection.
I recently read a post regarding manually wound GS
With the 130th anniversary steel reference in particular catching my eye. Is there an existing list of manually wound GS available? Regards Ian
Not sure any manual winds in production but perhaps there are still some for sale new
If you are asking for a spreadsheet similar to the no-date version, I can help you. These are the models I've catalogued with manual wind only movements, from Grand Seiko. Of course there are a few more from Credor. Mike Manual Winding GRAND SEIKO MODELS ...
Amazing! Thank you for all the effort!
Can I request an additional column for display back?

I know, a long shot.....
Just trying my luck. If I do start down that route I will be sure to note them down and pass it forward. Please keep up your good work, it's very much appreciated.
Gold GS Conundrum
Hi everybody, forgive me for reviving this post, but I just found it. I have several GS, including a SBGW035 and now looking to get a gold GS. So I was thinking SBGW038, but then remembered SBGW004. Similar yet very different watches. Which one do you lik...
This one SBGW004
I had a chance to buy one of these about 10 years ago, but passed on it. My mistake... Cazalea ...
