New Green Bamboo (SBGJ259) & Blue Peacock (SBGJ261)
I stopped in to the GS boutique in Beverly Hills last week and, while I was there, they pulled out their pre-release Green Bamboo and Blue Peacock GMTs for me to see.
Wow! These dials are really something special! I ended up leaving a deposit on the green bamboo - the blue is a limited edition so it was tempting, but I already have way too many blue dial watches and have only one green dial. If you have a chance, take a look at them - they're stunning! They also showed us the Elegance Ryūsendō SBGK015 which had an incredible dial as well, but, it just didn't sing to me like the green bamboo did. |

Agreed both watches are stunning but I have a slight preference over the bamboo. It really is bamboo-ish!

Pretty reasonable price too. I'm assuming it's using the "regular" High Beat movement and not the one in the White Birch?

The GS boutique called me Thursday to let me know the watch was in. Got it on Friday. It’s definitely beautiful! Way better in person than pics!
