As I noted above, a most awesome reference but sadly, not quite on par with a GS, at least not in my personal experience...

Maybe all that is true considering fit/finish of the SLA025 vs GS, but to me, I've got to absolutely love the look of the watch.

I've really wanted to love the GS line, but for whatever reason, there's always a pretty major aesthetic deal-breaker on any GS I've looked at. Not so with the SLA025...I pretty much love everything about it. But again, that's just like my opinion, man...
