Ah, it’s a SBGH273
The reference numbers for GS confuse me a lot too.
Here are some pieces I had an eye for, but funds are always the limiting factor. Maybe I’d get one in a few weeks time.
Pls check these out, they are my favourites for some special reasons:
SBGW255 (LE of 150 pieces) AKA Thong Sia Green, SBGK005 Iwate Blue Handwound (non LE), SBGY007 Baby blue time only (Non LE), SBGW231 simple 3 handed piece (non LE)
They’re nice, well made, and an honest value proposition.
I like the most simple SBGW231 a lot. It is so simple, with 3 hands, a leather strap and an off white dial. This is stealth, something I’d wear to make myself smile without the world knowing.

The things I do to keep a piece I love
This is my least worn piece, somehow. I never connected with it in a way I should. Wanna know why? Because my significant other nags at me to trim my collection when she gets into a bad mood. She picks on this piece because she knows I seldom wear it. Tak...

The 231 seems to be a fave. I like it as well..
I find myself, so far, liking the case and handset on the Birch. Pricey though
I tend to like those sleepers
When people start hyping about something; that’s when I withdraw from it. I don’t wanna be seen wearing “trendy” things. Strange aren’t I?
Worn and Wound podcasts
I was taking a drive to get some food today and listening to the podcast. They covered so many GS topics, it is delightful to hear them discuss specific pieces. The podcaster mentioned a similar sentiment, that he misses the old days when GS was obscure. ...
Yes please add it in
Micro-textured dial which is so amazing. That is a rare piece by now. Which other GS pieces are your favourite(s)?
Not exactly good when you dont respect each others interests like that
So you feel forced to lie about to some extent. Nice GS by the way.
well said Tegis
I did my utmost for a long time. I think a lot of car/watch collectors get the same theme from their partners, in different forms/severity. I have a friend, who had this similar problem initially, but never did he cave in to the pressure, until a friendly...
I think I'll get her something one day
Somehow many women's minds are wired differently to how they view mechanical watches. They tend to see form, colour, proportions in alternate ways. Somehow, a handbag makes her happier. She likes to walk down streets with her bags. I witnessed other girls...
Heehee
Thanks FabR. No problemo, i have it under control. Thanks for the compliment on the piece. I’ll wear it more often.
Kindly tell SO that your buddy in SOCAL . . .
. . . insists you hold onto the GS. Even if he happened to be in the PNW last weekend. ...
Nice High frequency piece
Yes indeed. I am gonna hold on to this piece (or stash it away temporarily in the worse case scenario). I like your piece too.
