As it is a Quartz, it has a solid case back
So sadly no movement shots. The back simply has the GS lion. I'll look for a picture tomorrow 
Do not have a Spring Drive yet but both the Quartz and High Beat automatic watches are fantastic. If one equates Seiko with relatively cheap watches for the masses - which is doing GS a grave injustice - the price may appear shocking but in terms of value, they deliver spectacularly.

It may not be the most flamboyant, or the most well known but it has been my first Grand Seiko - namely a relatively bog standard quartz SBGX097. Still, it came with the impressive 9F movement and was equipped with a lovely green dial - another first for ...

I went up to LA a few years ago on Feb 29 for PuristS perpetual change day, and walked into the Seiko dealer, where I saw it in the case. It was a rare occasion where I broke into a sweat and bought it on the spot - much to the amusement of Scott (the own...
One of two :)

Subsequently got myself a SBGH035 fast beat automatic, with a \'Special\', more precise movement. Another excellent watch IMHO The finishing is exquisite and you never tire of looking at it, and always find new things to admire! Can only recommend Grand S...

The SBGH035 remains my favorite GS but the SBGX097 will always be the first And it is such a useful, understated watch - perfect when trying not to arouse attention! You should give the brand a try at some point - an experiment well worth attempting
