It’s a cool piece! I got to try it on at a GS event over the summer.

Super light, big, and SCARY!

Rolex Essex · 2 October 2019, 11:24 PM

I’ve tried the standard black dial version last week and you definitely need a big wrist to pull it off.

Syed117 · 3 October 2019, 12:04 AM

I love that case design. Just wish it was smaller.

Cru Jones · 3 October 2019, 02:13 AM

BBB

Big, bold and beautiful!

Jostack · 3 October 2019, 02:16 AM

It is amazing to me that for the quality and level of detail GS accomplishes, that somehow they think painting on a see-thru case-back could be special.

I feel them trying to attract a younger segment plus Godzilla fans.

Hahahaha. Yeah it’s a cultural thing.

quakeroatmeal · 3 October 2019, 03:04 AM

I love it, but it's SO BIG.

incontrol · 3 October 2019, 03:30 AM

Interesting watch. Looks like a fun one.

KBM · 3 October 2019, 05:40 AM

It's listed as 44.5mm by 14mm thick, am I missing something?

kashkin · 3 October 2019, 02:39 PM

I love the case design. As others have said, I wish it was much smaller.

I’m sure those facing Godzilla also wish it was much smaller.

For me, the size makes total sense as a Godzilla anniversary piece, and it also means there’s more of that killer dial to enjoy.

pinosport · 3 October 2019, 04:58 PM

I definitely would like to see this in person. A lot of neat details that would only be appreciated up close

mailman · 3 October 2019, 06:35 PM

The dial is beautiful

1William · 3 October 2019, 08:32 PM

I really like it and will purchase it if my AD gets one.

lozgti105 · 3 October 2019, 09:03 PM

Brilliant

Same here. Such an original design. I feel like it could be their nautilus or royal oak moment if that was 40mm.

icnbne · 3 October 2019, 10:25 PM

Wish theyd leave the novelties to seiko

Chewbacca · 4 October 2019, 01:48 AM

I like it! Bring on the Godzilla Universe!

1) It's actually the most beautiful maroon red wine whatever dial I've seen apart from some old 70's era brands

2) We'll never see a Rolex named Godzilla now (thank you!)

3) You can swap the band to mix it up

4) King Ghidorah could be the 3 reg chrono NEW King Seiko (real 3 head enemy in Godzilla universe)

5) Space Godzilla could be the first watch on Mars! (real Godzilla with force field capabilities living in space)

MSchu · 4 October 2019, 07:11 AM

I want that strap...

cup8 · 4 October 2019, 10:20 AM

That is a nice watch with a beautiful dial.

Coop13 · 7 October 2019, 05:11 AM

Just had to pick these up. I’m hunting for the original from 1954.

Criterion is releasing a box set of all 15 Showa-era Godzilla films (1954-75) this month.

dchang81 · 7 October 2019, 10:17 AM

65th anniversary seems like a strange number to celebrate

SLWoodster · 8 October 2019, 07:10 AM

I like them in the case, but the size is just too large.

benlee · 13 October 2019, 02:10 AM

I like it! Could totally see myself getting one. Is the bezel ceramic?

I think it’s sapphire crystal with luminous numerals.

brandrea · 13 October 2019, 06:05 AM

I think the case finishing is interesting, and the dial is beautiful IMO. Thanks for sharing
