SBGA071 from 2012.

Totally unimportant in the grand scheme of things but I have to share.

Yesterday I collected a NOS SBGA071 limited edition from my trusted GS dealer.
He had the watch in stock for all those years. He kept it in his safe. Never saw his window or other show room as far as I know.

He showed me the watch in 2017 and I kept thinking about it ever since.

At that time I liked GS but not to the point I do now.
Over time I became a true enthusiast and recently inquired if he still had it in his safe,... he did.

Now it's mine...
