Very nice, congrats.

I have posted a thread about the SBGA127 LE wanting to know if it is still possible to find a new one somewhere, but have had no replies so thought I would post here, anyone have a clue where I could get one? It is the one I would like, many others are nice but not enough to my liking to be getting one

Congratulations, I have a great deal of respect for Seiko GS.

The quality of their works, imo beats or equals many Swiss top brands.

This is not the "snowflake" texture that became famous in the spring drive GS model, but a different and quite amazing different texture.
Exactly the same in the sense that you can't quickset the date? I ask because it would be useful to me to have a quickset mechanism on the GMTIIC because I do not leave he watch on a winder and I often have to advance many days when I pick up the watch from storage.

Correct, to set the date, you must move the hour hand in 1 hour increments, like the gmt master II.

A couple more pictures for you, this time in indoor lighting, tilting the dial ever so slightly.

Beautiful piece and very high quality. It makes a very nice alternative to the Rolex GMT and comes without the baggage that brand often brings along.

Wow, congrats Kauê! That's a beautiful GS, I struggled to decide between that model and the snowflake. Although I ended up with the snowflake, I now have no doubt that I will get the hi-beat GMT some time down the road. It's a fantastic piece!

Your photos do come close to doing it justice, especially the last two you posted. I must have taken a hundred photos of mine in different lighting and I still can't capture how impressive it is in person. Your description of how light plays off the watch is spot-on.

Congrats again!

I agree, it's a very classy execution of the GMT complication. Thanks!

Thanks a lot, Dave. The snowflake is irresistible, I can't blame you. These watches are a joy to admire, and trying to capture the textures and angles sure is a challenge. Thanks again, my friend!
