The perfect white Seiko?

[IR201]

I am looking for the perfect white Seiko watch for me. I want a crisp stark white - not an eggshell or off color. Less than 42mm a must.

After all of my searching I keep coming back to two options: the SGBX259 and the SBGA211.

Silly to compare the first with the icon I guess but here we are.

On the dials, both have little things about me that I don't love - the SBGX sometimes looks like it's missing something to me near the 6 o'clock. Almost like a face that doesn't have a mouth/smile. The SBGA211 on the other hand has the spring drive which reminds me of those piercing chains people get between their ear and their nose.

So neither is ideal for me but the closest I've got. I looked at the SBGR 287 as well. That's probably my favorite of the dials but no bracelet is a deal breaker for me. And it seems a little thick for its size.

Any opinions or experiences out there on any of this? Thoughts/advice would be appreciated.
