I purchased a GS last month, but it's the 9S65A movement, not the Spring Drive. I specifically chose this movement because I prefer the traditional horological approach.

I agree that the finish and detail are amazing, and I look forward to wearing it. The movement exceeds COSC specs already and, Spring Drive - while incredibly accurate - doesn't interest me... at least, right now.

Rolex, with the Superlative Chronometer specs of +/- 2 seconds/day, is pretty incredible without Spring Drive technology.
