SBGN005/SBGN003 GMT worth it?

I'm on the cusp of my first purchase and am interested in some opinions on the GS 9F Quartz GMTs. Specifically, is $3,200 for a quartz movement worth it? It's a newer release, but could I realistically receive any kind of discount from an AD? New to the market...



I tried one on a few weeks ago. I like the tool/knockaround feel and the 39mm case fit my wrist well, but something about the price tag for a battery operated movement is still difficult for me to reconcile (though i know it's a well engineered and highly accurate quartz). For just a few thousand more I could find a hi-beat automatic GMT, but as mentioned I like the look and feel of this particular reference. Just don't want to pull the trigger, be underwhelmed, and end up back in the market sooner than I'd hoped.



Will link to photos in a reply below (can't post links/pics since I'm a new user).



Thanks all.

OP, did you ever pull the trigger ?

OP, I’m looking at the same SBGN003. I would like to know if you made the GS quartz purchase? Thank you.
