I am sorry but lets face what?

Couldn't disagree more.

They have one of the best looking divers on the market.
They offer it in steel and Ti and is finished to the highest level.

Granted, it feels 'high end' and does not feel like a pure 'tool' watch, but who uses their +5K watches as tools still?

As a 'luxury' sport offering it is, to me, the best you can get.
Maybe the new SeaQ big date from Glashütte will come close at double the price.

Also did you notice they recently released a new sport watch case that is bold, loud and ubercool?
That case is going to play a major role in defining GS as a sport watch manufacturer as well. For the moment 3 limited editions have been released but I am convinced there will be more models coming out with this case.
