sshark,
I totally agree with you. Whilst the GS quality and finishing is at least equal if not better than Swiss watches costing up to twice the price, GS styling is quite limited. That is the limitation for anyone wanting to collect more GS or for a 1 brand person.
The case and bracelets do not have much variation. The only variation are the dial colours and finishing.
By the way not all GS bracelets feel the same even though the design is similar. The steel & titanium bracelets also varies.
That is why I got the SBGC003 being a Chronograph/GMT which looks different from the dress GS. If you have handled the SBGC003, you will find that its very solid and heavy and the steel quality is excellent. The brush finishing is much better that most of the other Swiss. I had 4 Rollies before (all the Sports models except the Daytona) which I have sold off and am still keeping my JLCs but yet the various GS have been on my wrist non stop since I got them.
The other Seikos I love and bought was the Ananta GMT (contemporary & casual look for weekends) and the 130th Ann SBGW033 (dress watch for work & functions).
The only other GS that I will be buying is the SBGA011 Snowflake where the dial is absolutely mesmerising. Perhaps the HiBeat will also be attractive from a movt point of view.
Unless GS comes up with more complications like moonphase, day/date, perpetual calendar, world time, I think my GS acquisition will stop there.
GS has already declared that they want to build the world's best 'basic' watch so I doubt if I'll ever see complications. That they may leave to Credor.
