And rightfully so 😊👍🏻
The only downside seems to be that the new movements are harder to regulate quite as precisely as the older ones 🤷🏻♂️ Mine is still keeping excellent time, though 😊
The start of the evolution - the SLGH005 White Birch 🇯🇵
Not a new watch anymore but what a blast when it came out! A new movement with a completely different architecture to what one was used to from GS, a new case design language and of course - possibly most memorably - the white birch dial. While the dial t...

A terrific watch.
With these new generation movements the case proportions became much better (slimmer). I also like your strap choice !!

What a lovely story 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
Great to share the hobby with your son! The only thing that I see as a worrying development is that they required you to buy another watch to get it. GS did fine without, not sure I am happy where this is going 🧐

In this case at least it worked out well 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And congratulations on that momentous moment 🎉🎊🎈
There's a expression
The days are long but the years are short. How true. I remember when my son was about six months old a fellow was walking down the block with his 5 year old son on his shoulders. He saw the look in my eyes and without missing a beat said. You'll be there....
Btw, some months ago there was a letter posted on this site
by Thierry Stern. Retailers were making customers buy either jewelry or another watch to get a Patek that they wanted. He made it clear in no uncertain terms that there would be severe repercussions if any AD continued to do this.
I wish that actually happens…
Don’t fully trust the brands’ honesty in such cases 😉 Maybe I am just jaded 😂🤷🏻♂️
They do offer quite some value…
Even if the prices have risen quite a bit over the past 10 years 😊
