Not every LE GS is created equal
Congrats on having the company of this beautiful GS for a full year! Really glad to hear a fellow SBGH035 owner has so much love for the watch. I guess if there's one criticism for GS, it'd be how the brand regularly puts on a new dial and calls it a LE. This one however, has a dial pattern that isn't seen anywhere else across its steel models (only availble in its precious metal siblings, also LEs I believe), and you definitely know as well as me just how incredibly accurate the timepiece is. May the second year bring you just as much joy as the first.

First birthday of my SBGH035
A couple of days overdue (been the start of November) but the SBGH035 has now been in my collection for a year. And I do not regret it for a single special hi-beat second It is in many ways my most versatile watch. At just under 38mm it works really well ...
Thanks Salman :)
As you were part of the poisoning, I appreciate it a lot So glad I managed to get it...
Well, happy birthday to it.
Having held this one, I can say it truly is everything you wrote. Just a great watch for (almost) any occasion. I hope you enjoy it for many more years to come.
Looks like it will stay for a long time :)
Meaning you will probably get to see it during many GTGs to come. And occasionally here, too So, have you made a decision regarding your first GS yet?
I was joking, of course, and agree with you totally.
But, at that price, I feel it loses precisely what GS is known for and what it represents. So, I am looking at something in a lower price range.
Congrats on enjoying and showing your watch !
i agree it's something special (sic) and mine say hello --had it a wee bit longer than you!! Best henry ...
Oh... only
two years ago in November when my AD showed it to me when it first came out and i only hesitated for a few days before sealing the deal---it was the guilloche dial that did it!! Enjoying it as much as you are! best henry
Very cool shot with the piano. Perfect equilibrium between black and white... with a little blue touch ;-)
And the dial is always so mesmerising. Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks Alkiro :)
Need more time with the piano for better pictures but our daughter is not surrendering it easily - not even to my wife who is purportedly the prime user
Usually I join them...
As I am at home so little. But good point. Will bag the piano sooner or later
You're right when you say you can't get bored with this one
I especially love the dial...at some angles, the waves completely disappear and at others, it is very prominent...in one of the pictures, it even appears to be off white. Just amazing how poetic it is with the play of light! Congratulations on the first a...
Thanks Richard!
Just like you say - so much fun with light. It can look completely white, then pearlescent, sometimes the brand logo disappears, then shines strongly... Same with the seconds hand Lots to admire IMHO but then again I am slightly biased
If you ever make it over here... :)
Or we get to the same GTG I will be more than happy to share it It really is quite something...
Thanks JML!
There will be many more anniversaries to come, judging by how it\'s been going
I used to memorize when I bought my watch but now I rely on cellphone photo dates...
need to use my brain more. Congrats and happy anniversary with this GS. Don't forget your wife's important dates or else.... Rgds Raymond
Those I have consistently remembered...
Since we\'ve been together In the case of the SBGH035 it is easy - I just checked the date of my first post on it here Work commitments kept me from getting it done on the birthday proper but will hopefully manage better next year

Thank you for the kind words, Ken
You are right - all are definitely not equal As for dial, another one recently shown by KIH seems to have a somewhat similar pattern, namely the SBGW049. Technically a lady\'s model but then again it comes in a typical GS size of 37mm and looks as unisex ...
You're welcome, KMII
Thanks for the info on the SBGW049. That looks nice, but it isn't special likes ours, both figuratively and literally haha! Ken
