hi beat yes
no SF if i remember from last time

Yes, they have hi beat and spring drive. Did not see any SF in the store but I did not ask either.

Visited Mid-Valley last Saturday, noted that the AxG boutique got a number of GS available, more variety than the boutique in Sunway. They have a GS Limited Edition. Almost pull the trigger .....

GS is a superb quality watch but yes sometimes one would hesitate over spending that kind of money on a Seiko (there's no right or wrong there...just depends on the person).  If you want to spend less, you can get the SDGM003 or SARB033 or even a Seiko 5 (SMKL41).  But the less you pay, the less quality you get.

The GS are awesome watches,.. just curious tho' if you can get discounts of the MRSP at the ADs?

Asked before, discount will be given but not much and depends on model.

Reading through this tread with full of superb pictures of GS has really left a deep impression. I think I need to get hold of GS soon ....

Who can resist such beauty?



My sbga103. Fantastic with the extra accurate SD movement!

It's at +12 seconds after 2 months

Wow... GS got something very special.

I tested my watches just now. Most of my watches just have the glass round shape reflection and none can achieve your GS reflection like that. It's puzzling me how can the hours marker reflection pierce through the sapphire glass and show up its reflection on the wall so clear and neat.

 

[Gilthoniel]

Because the Sapphire on a GS is the clearest you can find (they manufacture their own Sapphire glass) and the polishing of their hands and indices are bright and reflective like diamonds.

Which model is the GS iconic or representative model ? Like Cartier have Santos n tank , Rolex is submariner n GMT, Maurice is pontos, JLC is reverso

The first thing that comes to mind is the HiBeat. However that is more of the movement than a model. A possible candidate is the Snowflake
