Great minds, and great looking references aren’t they?

The SBGT235 was my first GS, and an impulse purchase in Hiroshima, getting on for five years ago.

I remember it now

Another question but when did they change the dial? Is this the earlier or later version?

Sorry for the thread derail OP….

The SEIKO logo was removed from all GS dials in 2017, Brian. The SBGT035 is the earlier, and the SBGT235 is the later (most existing references had the '0' replaced with a '2' when the change was done). Hope that makes sense

My watches sit idle when not on the wrist. That means only one watch to adjust at the change of month, the one I'm wearing. The others will all be adjusted as needed when worn, the same as always.

I quickly changed my DJ41 this morning and then my wife and I went out for brunch. I need to remember to change my Seamaster when I get home. However, I predict I won’t remember, and then I’ll wear my Seamaster for 3//4 of the month before I realize it has the wrong date on it. It’s happened before. It’ll happen again.

Thanks for the reminder. I completely forgot yesterday and set the date on my current daily wearer.
