The first with green Mt Iwate dial. Introduced five years before the famous SBGJ005. Also, this model was regulated to daily rate of -1 / +5 sec. This is within "Special" range, but no Special text on the dial.
You can see these at least on FB's GSOC (Grand Seiko Owners Club). There are few of these. In terms of the Specials, the new ones are +4/-2 per day (vs.+5/-3 for standard Hi-Beat), but I think being within 6 seconds is what counts. Special or not, 9S85 is a fantastic movement.
Hi Cazalea,
I have two pairs of green boots (Tricker's) to match, but having a green belt would be too much π
Sorry about unpolished pics. π
Cheers,
Riku
I think you have to sneak up on something like that

Start with one color, add a little contrast in there, then take away the original color and violΓ‘ you have green (or whatever color). I suppose that's why I now have about 20 belts.
My selection really comes down to two colours - tan and red (black is not colour after all π) Patinated light brown works almost with everything, and post box red is just different. A racing green would be fantastic addition, and would work perfectly with the GS and say blue boots π
