·Wow, that does look great. Still don’t understand why the dial is described as beige. 😕

·Sharing what I believe to be a limited edition, late 90's S/EL, model WG1117-K0. I've seen several that are numbered (xxxx of 1500), as this one is. I also believe I've seen some with the same model number but an actual serial number, like other S/EL's. None of the numbered units have a second serial number. So, not sure if it started as a limited edition but then was converted into a production model or something else. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can shed some light here. I've seen several available in Japan and this one is from Japan, maybe a Japan-only release?
Indoors the dial looks almost matte black, outdoors the dial pops!
Uniques for the WG117 as compared to the WG111A, which is the other blue dial quartz S/EL:
-> navy blue dial (vs. medium blue)
-> cream colored hour markers, date outline, and text (vs. white)
-> black chrome indices (vs. chrome)
-> monochrome white Tag Heuer insignia (vs. multicolor green/red/white)
-> no chrome inner ring (vs. chrome inner ring)
-> serially numbered "No XXXX/1500" (vs. traditional serial number)
Front, back, and on the wrist shots attached!

It has its own part number so I would say it is official. Nice to see photos of one in the wild. I didn't realise it was the NZ SAS I just assumed it was the UK SAS.

Bezel is a dark blue in real life. Looks similar to the GMT model.

Each island in Hawaii has an official color. Yellow is the official color of Oahu. https://www.homeyhawaii.com/blog/culture/official-colors-and-flowers-of-hawaiian-islands/
It's just my guess as to the background of why yellow is used on this watch. Blue is often associated with Hawaii (e.g. Blue Hawaii). Also, TAG just seems to have a thing for the blue & yellow combo. 😉

·I wondered if it had to do with Oahu (I read that same article above, @Mspeedster). Now that we know it was released to celebrate a TH Boutique in Honolulu, that makes perfect sense.
