Spring drive GMT with rear power indicator?
Does this combination exist yet or even been announced? I'm recently seen the new 9R31 and 9RA2-based models like the SBGY007 and SLGA007 and I really love the relocation of the power indicator to the rear. If this isn't on the radar yet, is there any historical precedent with GS in terms of how much later a GMT version of a new movement gets released?
Thanks! |

I'm unaware of such developments regarding this. Just the 9RA2 for now. Another thing that would be awesome is to have the Chrono/GMT incorporated into this new movement. With the power reserve gauge relocated to the rear the dial will be a lot cleaner and they can possibly re-orient the sub-dials to 3-6-9! That is something that I'll really get into!

Much as I love my SBGE201, if I'm honest I would prefer the PR on the back. I manage to survive it's absence on all my other automatic watches.
I don't really need to know how much "power" my watch is holding- if it's alive when I strap it on, then it has power, if it's deathly still, then I know it has no power. Now I've seen the hi-beat SBGJ 237 and 239 I think they look better without it not my pic...

I like the PR indicator on the dial with the Spring-Drive. It’s part of the charm. Like the cyclops on a Rolex.
