    That's the SBGW033 re-re-issue I mentioned. They're limited re-runs of the historical 3180, the first Grand Seiko.This time they're 38mm and have slightly different case shapes truer to the 3180 than the SBGW033.The other GSes to come won't have this logo design. Also, I'm not sure yet if it's printed or applied. The original 3180 came in 3 types before settling on printing, as they couldn't consistently carve or press (emboss from behind) the logo. The SBGW033 was pressed.

    You no like? Apart from the new logo, I think it looks pretty darn good.

    Well, at least I'm not in danger of becoming a Grand Seiko customer any time soon.
