Icon7 New Arrival: GS

Just wanted to share a new arrival with you guys. Got this as a wedding gift from my mother in law and I am so thankful. Been fond of this particular model for quite some time and now its on the wrist. This model is a SBGR071 and it was purchased from our buddy at Seiya.

For you guys who know me know that I have mostly divers so I wanted a nice modern dress watch and after taking the bracelet and putting a leather strap with deployment it fits the bill perfectly.

Well without further ado: enjoy








































Thanks for looking.

Study the dial in low light..the way the markers/hands sparkles is mesmerizing.

The red details really set the watch off.

The fat indecies are awesome too. What a great gift!

I think there's a lot of beauty in the minimalist look of some of the GS watches. I have my preferred GS on my wish list.
