Technically 029 and 031 are no longer available, they have been replaced by the 229 and 331. The one in my photo is a 229.

All GS dials replace the 0 with a 2, and the 0s are phased out as GS is now it’s own brand.

The 029 is that watch with a Seiko dial, 229 with the Grand Seiko dial.

Here is the 029, which is no longer being made as of last spring.



Basically same watch, but with Seiko branding.

The titanium 231 and the now discontinued 031 are easily identified by the gold lettering used in the dial, vs white on SS.

Thank you, so much.

Both pics are handheld, natural light.
The black background is a wet patio chair, the reddish one is a wet glass patio table.
