Case polishing and finishing and dial quality is exactly the same across all movement types, so you're getting a watch of incredible quality and the 9F movement itself is also a thing of beauty, and hand finished. Also, they'll go decades without a service. (I've also owned over a hundred auto and manual-wind vintage GS at some point, but that's another story altogether).

I think a complete GS collection would be a 9F quartz, a high-beat (i.e. SLGHxxxx), and a spring drive (i.e. SLGAxxxx or the old snowflake).
