I am living in the European Union and I got interested about 4 years ago when their watches became officially available in this part of the world. Got my "Peacock" about 2 years ago and have plans to add a Spring Drive model to my collection. ...  

Only one modern GS which is a reissue, but many vintage.

I am eager to buy a modern piece, preferably a Spring Drive, but am patiently waiting for something which appeals to me (smaller size, thinner cases, more angles!). Hereā€™s the only modern GS, a reissue and more vintage in terms of sizing. ...
