Nice to see the women getting a watch for a change! Grand Seiko is under the radar and they make great watches!

Is the watch face off white or cream or is that just how the photo came out?

It's an ivory dial. Sorry pics aren't the greatest quality... This is ref SBGR261.

What's stopping you!! it's a beautiful piece. If you want something similar with a GMT complication you could look at the 221 - that reference is only $300 more than this one.

Congrats. I hope she isn't like my wife would take it off days at a time I had to reset it every week.
