Just realised I picked up my SBGV247 today on 24.7.! Some initial shots to share my excitement... Thanks for watching! Corrected model number to SBGV247 ...
They opted for the ltd edition one 1850 Denier for the rougher optic, the regular 2 versions are 1000 Denier Nylon. Inside they put a rubber inlay against the sweat. The limited edition also comes with a blue silicon strap, nee design. Pic to follow.
To match the texture of the dial, they opted for thicker 1680 Cordura nylon vs 1000 for the regular silver and black dial ones. Such attention to details. The inner side is a rubberised lining against sweat.
The mostly brushed case with some alternating polished surfaces reminds me of the mighty Royal Oak... also the brushed bezel with the polished rim. The dial really changes from a deep saturated matt blue to a lighter metallic blue with some luster. Superb...
I saw yellow version recently... Now I know why this is getting so popular - in Japan, people are making waiting list for these pieces. Congrats!! Yes, this is "fate" Ken ...
