GS Quartz Experts, I need your help
Been looking for a watch with a blue sunburst dial for more than 1 year now and I am starting to turn toward GS now. I just love the sparkle of GS indices but I have not paid much attention to the blue dial that are being offered. I did see a few with deep blue dials but they did not offer a pronounced sunburst. To define pronounced, Longines Spirit Blue GMT (But I find that watch too busy) and I have a BB Pro which is a GMT.
There are many GS Quartz models so my head is spinning which prompted me to write this post. Within the last 5 years, do you know a GS Quartz model with a blue dial that fits my description ?
On the same subject, how is the sunburst on the SBGP007since the dial is not flat.
Thanks in advance for the responses.
My WatchCrunch name summarizes it all.
SBGN005 for the win!

The GS GMT is very nice but too close to my BB Pro.
The 005 mentioned above is good pick. I went with the SBGP015. The blue is amazing.

Looks very good. Red sec hand like the SBGP007. I guess the red hand means limited edition ?
Strange that GS shows your watch on their website with a blue bezel.

The pic I posted also has a blue bezel. They released a series of 60th anniversary watches with a blue and red colorway, with the 015 being the 9F version.
SBGP007 does show a little sunburst on occasion

Indeed.
I am starting to understand the numbering now thanks to this website.

I think my preference would be for the double indices at the 12'o clock position.
I also need to decide between 37mm or 40mm. I normally buy 39mm.
Also, this GS database is turning out to be helpful in my search

Would you say that the sunburst in your watch is approximatively what you see in this video ?
It is a different model (SBGP013) but I think these blue GS dials in SBGP, SBGV and SBGX to be all the same (only judging from what I see on the net).
