Anyone own GS SBGM221? Cream GMT.
What are your thoughts about it?

The 235 looks good, too.

I tried the cream dial in several months back. I absolutely love it. The 235 also looks great....but then so does this

I was interested in the SBGM221 at first, but ended up going with the SBGM235 since the dial was more unique with its "whirlpool" pattern. My AD ordered me an GS OEM bracelet for the SBGM235 so I was able to give it a more sporty look.

Pictures please?
I tried that watch on at a watch show. More interesting dial than the 221. Are they limited or relatively available?

I’ve owned a 221 for a few years now and love it.
the only minor drawback is I find the dial kind of tough to match straps with so I occasionally get some strap ADD with it. currently have it on a blue-ish grey-ish one. |

I love these GMTs, but I am temporarily limiting my watch purchases to three digits due to a major purchase. Maybe 2021.

I’ve had mine about a month, first GS for me. Couldn’t be happier with the watch. I definitely spend way to much time staring at my watch. Now that I’ve spent an insane amount of time researching the history of the brand and how they are made I’m certain there will be many more GS’s in my future. I picked up a vintage King Seiko a few months ago and these two watch have pretty much dominated all of my wrist time ever since. Oh another bonus of the Grand Seiko brand, should you want to see them, hold them, compare them to each other, just walk into a GS AD. Most of them are all there, in stock, if they’re not they will get you one in a few weeks. No list, no bundling, no attitudes. My current watch rotation.
