As for the LE, who really cares if you like the watch get it. If not don’t. AP does the limited edition stuff too, no one gets too upset about that. Funny about that. Perhaps GS should start using their AD networks to limit supply like another brand we all know and love. The reality is from a business standpoint GS does this because it sells. They are a business and the purpose of a business is to make money. If it was not working you better believe they would change it.

Maybe the crappy clasps don’t bother you, or you’re not paying attention. Or maybe you have one of the few GS models that has a nice clasp.
The bracelets on the GS are beautiful, it just really bothers me they don’t taper it much. On my SBGE257 it tapers maybe 1mm. Most watches that taper from 20mm to 16mm is perfect. That’s my only complaint on the bracelet.
The clasp is garbage. Just look at these pictures. My SBGE257 compared to that on a datejust. One the clasp is huge, two they just put pin holes throughout the side for the adjustment. The large overhang and bulky size with the thin stamped sheet metal is also flimsy looking and cheap. Finally no quick adjustment like the ezlink on the Rolex.
