Congratulations on your beautiful '267!

I had an opportunity to buy one of these just a month after Bazelworld, and at a good price. Why didn't I do it? I was slightly put off by the berry-blue color of the rotor—though of course the true color is hardly ever represented fairly in photographs—or even from monitor to monitor. How do you find that rather indescribable color? The rest of the watch for me is quite beautiful, and I would imagine the pin-wheel of GSs on the dial becomes quite subtle at normal distances on the wrist. In photos it's a bit much, but I had the idea that with distance and with that great color choice of grey-blue the dial would really be fascinating. Give me your impressions when you have time. Many thanks, and sincere congrats. Fred Halgedahl

Well, that escalated quickly!

Hi Fred. Yes, the dial was a concern for me as well

When it was released, all the articles for this watch showed zoomed-in pics of the dial, which really emphasizes the GS patterns. From arms length, I mostly notice the radial/spiral pattern. It gives off an impression similar to the Peacock SBGJ227 dial m...

Many thanks for writing!

Your photo shows much better than any I'd seen before the mottled nature of the blue on the rotor. That "softens" the color, at least for me, so… much easier to take. However you slice it, the watch is a collection of very beautiful choices. For awhile th...
