Suwa vs Daini: choosing between these two Hi-Beats - 6145-8010 and 4520-8000.

(The GS45 won. It always wins.)

I say that, but today the GS61 won (though with different boots)...

It's great! The dial is a little more subtle and on the white side versus silver on the High Beat White Birch. I'd been looking at GS's for several years but just couldn't make up my mind with all the options and new releases until now. I really wanted a spring drive but I wasn't entirely comfortable with the power indicator on the dial. When they started putting it on the back on several models, including this one, that was the deciding factor.

I feel the same way about mine. The sweep of the spring drive second hand is hypnotizing. Question. Would you consider putting it on a leather strap?

Light and thin (11.6mm) but with great wrist presence, even at 39mm. Curved, retro-inspired case, domed crystal. Beautiful watch that's dressy, but with some sporty flair too, especially on a more casual strap. (Comes originally on a blue gloss gator strap.) Manual wind but with a three-day power reserve tracked on the little meter at 3 o'clock. Quirky but balanced well on the dial with the seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock. Nice!
Quite possibly my favourite GS of them all (and Ive got the SBGK002). It’s absolutely gorgeous! Congrats.

Probably not. This is my only watch not on a strap at this point.
