It's the previous generation of movements, hand-assembled in the Morioka workshops
This is the image that sold me on hunting down one of these watches:
and the review that convinced me to get on it.
At the time ~ 23 years ago, there were very few watch websites, just TImeZone, The Purists and a couple others like this private site that Steve created. No Hodinkee, etc.
And it was tricky to find things -- no Chrono24, eBay was limited and it took cooperation of helpful pals on this site to grab this out of Singapore.

It demands careful consideration when taking its picture, to display its charm to the max. The numerals are embossed, not applied, but that doesn't detract at all from its beauty.

In the cabinet too long; it's time to wear this GS
SBGW003 one of 300 from many years ago. I hunted for this for about 3 years after seeing it on SteveG's website. I hope you don't mind that it is missing a date? Cheers, Cazalea ...

Certainly a GS Grail
One I would love to add to my GS collection. I only saw it come up for sale once in the last 20 years and the price was somewhere in the region of unaffordium
The hands are an unbelievable blue
Look like blued titanium of de Bethune instead of blued steel. A wonderful piece.
Wow beauty!
I really am looking to get a manual GS, as all I ever had was a seiko 007. The new slgw003 released this month fits the bill but can't get too exited, not available until August 🤷♂️
Those hands and numerals really jump out.
So much going on in a relatively unassuming but entirely useful package (engine ain’t bad either, )
Missing a date…
Is one of the features 👍🏻 Really love the limited GS editions from back of the day, when they were uncommon and quite a bit more imaginative. Not that the current ones are bad but they do follow set patterns a lot more 😊🤷🏻♂️
