Totally makes sense. The SBGW231 definitely sounds like a great option, especially if you like a manual movement. (I'm one of those people who likes to wind a manual, even when I am not wearing it.)
I'm such a fan of Grand Seiko. I own/have owned a Rolex, Speedmaster Pro, Breitling, etc and nothing has given me more pleasure than the GS. For me, it's in the details and the artful composition of the componentry. For example, when looking at the watch from an angle, I love the relationship and depth of the dauphine hands – one perfectly, and spatially, stacked upon the other. It's exquisite. And I just cannot get enough of looking at it.
fwiw. I'm an industrial designer. And at the moment, I cannot think of another product I love more than my GS (maybe equally but not more).
But that's just me. You gotta do what's right by you.
