I did read - I think in the review by Timeless Luxury Watches - that it is the only dress GS with lume.

It's the only dress GS with lime in the USA. Lume markers are already in Japan. I do believe it will be a new trend for GS going forward. All spring drive has PR, but I do find it useful since I wear my watch in rotation and it's nice to know if one needs to be wound or not to keep it going. The deployment buckle on the 033 is also new and it's nice than the ones from before. I'll post more pic when I have some good lighting. I can barely keep my face out of the pictures due to high Polish and it just mirrors everything

My SBGR061 with leather strap has the old deployment, so I'm curious to see how the new one compares. I will likely go to the local AD next weekend and check it out. We are fortunate in Vancouver to have the only Grand Seiko dealer in Canada. I have a black dial Hi-Beat as well the SBGH005, and it's really difficult to keep my reflection out of the pics on that one as well, so I know what you mean. Cheers, Carl |

That looks good. I didn't pay attention to it.

Here's a couple shots of the older style deployment. The buckle and keeper are all one piece now, which makes it quite a bit thinner. However, as it's on the underside of the wrist, I don't find the thickness an issue:   |
