Love this new hi-beat movement
very good looking one. Also the Evo9 case on 38mm with less then 10mm of thickness is great, this is going to be the new classic watch of GS I think. My only problem is the white birch dial which is a tad too flashy for me on a classic watch. However I’m ...
I tried the
SLGH005 white birch in metal and the dial was a bit too brilliant for me, so I bought the darkest lake suwa iteration SLGA021. Need to see this new dress watch too but if it’s the same dial then I’d prefer to wait for a new one, other than the dial the wa...
First since the 45GS
I'm an owner of a GS 4522-8000 : 36000 bph mechanical movement. I'm surprised that they did it again. It's a fabulous movement
