GS all the way. I don't have one because it's a lot of money for a difficult to flip item, but I'm more and more tempted. My next visit to Tokyo I might give it a go, of course second hand.
This reminds me that COSC certification and Swiss horological competitions were banned to non-Swiss brands, after so many home runs by Seiko and others..... With their plain vanilla off the shelf models. That's more than proof to me of how scared Swiss Brands were of premium Asian competitors.
It is also true that, everywhere in Asia outside Japan, Rolex is unanimously recognized as THE Brand. It seems that unless you add savvy marketing, horological prowess on its own is not enough.....
To me GS is Haute Horology at Rolex prices, while Rolex is a mass-luxury product with a hefty price premium attached to it.
Happy new year.
