Fourth GS Suggestions

[pandrew6l]

Looking for opinions for a fourth GS to buy , after a 9F, Hi-Beat, and SP/44GS . Don't care too much about dial differences, or Limited Edition, instead more on technological innovations.

If you want something with technological advances on a GS, then a spring drive comes to mind. Godzilla maybe?

Why not both, 9R31?

Au_911tt (Chase) has a SBGW264 , Rose Gold/ Green Dial, ED 120 pieces, in excellent condition ,listed at $12,500. This watch came out a few years back MSRP at $24,000. I understand buying a watch is not an investment, but with a deep discount of almost 50% on an ED, one wonder if a regular manual wind GS can hold its value.

I have also looked at the SBGW231, but this model has quality issue. A few owners have reported tiny bubbles developing along the edge of the box crystal. Someone may suggest no brand is perfect, but GS is about perfection . Adding insult to injury, Grand Seiko claims these bubbles are no big concern , and is within their quality tolerance limit.

I see the 9R31 is very similar to the 9R65, the differences are no date, manual wind, power reserve on the back. Technologically to me, these features are cosmetic, but cost more money.

Sorry.

You forgot "...and thinner movement and also therefore thinner watch case".
