Lovely watch

Maybe my favorite in the GS line.  It reminds me a bit of a Patek 5127 without a date.  It is thicker at 11.6mm, however. Your thoughts on this and its overall feel and comfort?

But this SBGW255 left the collection recently. Good memories, I will most likely get a 231 at some point. The crown is a marvel too ...
