Yes, still enjoying it. I tried the SBJG203 back then and was rather taken by the case shape, but really I wanted a spring drive. It might have been a bit too much anyway.
Also tried the SBGE255 and 257 (blue and green ones). Size was okay but the 4:30 date and big bezel (fixed) didn’t sit right. I also find the spring drive movement fascinating to look at looking at, and they have a closed caseback.
These names or lack thereof are annoying aren’t they.

Yeah I think we’ve gone through them a few times, but maybe not in one go. @cgg has the SBGE211.
I’ve not seen a special edition of that model/case personally. They’ve done a bunch in the 44GS case. Latest is this:

Try one. When I did, I fair recoiled at what a slab it was. Insane case polishing, mind. The sides are perfect mirrors.
