It's more interesting that we all have different preferences

I do see your point on the black dial being used in the SBGH005 first. By the same logic, are the dials on 005 and 021 truly original? New colours-sure; but it's the same pattern. I had multiple opportunities to pick up a 005 and I passed, never considered the 021. Again, this is not to say they aren't very nice watches (they are), I'm only trying to make a case on why I'm very pleased with my 003. We can agree to disagree on which colour serves as a better background to the hands, I still prefer black. Credits to you for taking great pictures. I definitely lack talent in that department. Enjoy your pair of GS in great health. Ken

When the 9S86 (HiBeat GMT) was released, the Grand Seiko SBGJ005 had impressed with its green dial with its special texture and its rotor treated by anodic oxidation. The 005 was the most beautiful in the SBGJ001 / 003/005 serie. It was awarded at 2014 ed...

Thank you for all these mesmerising dials and shots and all the info about these great timepieces

Great photos, and a lovely pair of GS limited edition hi-beat gmt! This is not to dismiss the quality of the 005 and 021 at all, but I think the 003 more than hold its own against the other 2. All 3 watches essentially have the same dial pattern and finis...

Thank you Ken

003 is a nice GS but ... it's not in the same league as 005 and 021, IMHO This texture has been already used on a black dial, for SBGH005, while 005 and 021 are unique. The color variation is much more wider on both green and red dials. Concerning the bac...
