It's the most beautiful champagne/eggshell looking dial with hands that appear black from some angle and shiny at other.

I am not sure if its that exact model if not one almost identical but I was on a bus last year and the guy sitting in front of me lifted his arm to tell the time and it was this one! Of course I struck up a conversation and firstly he was taken aback that I knew what it was and how special it was but after that he went on to extoll how much he loved it and what a great timekeeper it was.
They also do that style with a beautiful blued GMT hand I just love the creamy white of it. Rolls Royce call in Cornish White!

Looking at that one Chip I just found this one on youtube that I have never seen before. I love they way they have done the Grand Seiko lettering on the dial, stunning! (put it in hi-def to get the full effect of the creaminess of the dial.)

I've seen that one on threads before and always makes me drool. The off white dial with silver markers and the blued second hand are an absolutely stunning combo.

It's possibly one of the best looking GS models. I really really would place that in the top 3, and if I had a need for a dress watch...
