Not overly fussed on most of the newer GS but this one is easily sitting near the top, along with the 36mm one they brought out a while back, can't remember the reference. They did a brown dial too.
Off to Japan in October, tempted to try one on, think there's much of a discount to be had being based there?

Buying in Japan might be worthwhile just because of the exchange rate. I don't know if there are discounts going at ADs there.
Mine is the SBGW267 which is a European exclusive model, so you probably won't find it in Japan. But there are a number of other dial variants of the same model.
The 36mm (or 36.5mm apparently…) one you're talking about is probably the SBGW291 / SBGW293. It's not quite a 44GS case but it's basically that, and they're really nice. Same movement as in my 267.

Would echo checking Plus9Time to see what JDM special editions there might be available.

I didn't know there were white and yellow gold cased versions (SBGW237/238)!
Happy Friday by the way.
