RRP is £4100. Not limited edition, but hard to find. A very recent release. I know a UK dealer that has the white one for sale. SNR037 and SNR039

Thanks - just the right size for me then wink.

Years ago My Dad had a drawer full of Seikos from the '60s and '70s, I think my sister got rid of them when she bought his house and had a good clear out. Pity!

ah - that is a shame on a number of levels. I hope my children would like to keep one of my various watches when Im no longer here. They are quite a personal thing and pretty much the only thing worn each day/next to skin. except my grundies of course for which there are two.

SBGY003 'Grand Cocktail' today. I really like this, simple but very high quality and with that unique, smooth, Spring Drive second hand.

That's gorgeous. Great size, manual wind, and GS did well to move the PR display, normally on the dial of SD watches, to the back.

Thank you! The PR definitely fits better on the back than the front. It's like an Eichi in ethos really, a really pure, time only, three handed watch.

The simpler the watch the better it is with GS as it allows the details to shine, it's what they do best though that's not to say that their more complex dials with multiple complications are mingers biggrin Credor's Eichi takes that and runs with it, and then some - I'd love to handle one.

Good to see you got the watermark in that shot, I've been in a GS retailer that didn't even know that such a thing existed!

You made me feel self conscious and now I've shaved my arms!!

In all seriousness, no idea why my arms look so hairy in that photo hehe

Essex, right? And you've got an Elise? How about a Lotus and Credor meet up?
