Icon5 Recommendation for entry level - spring drive

started looking at GS And realize it's a very deep rabbit Hole !

Looking for textured dial [ they have many ] want to keep it Under 5k.

The bracelets look to be the weak link [ pun ] for the brand - no micro adjustment and fidgety screws/ pin combo.

saw some stunning dials on smaller , manual wind models . but think 37.3 is just going to be too small - 38.5 - 40 mm is perfect

SBGA465 Is a front runner so far ......had to stop looking - developed quite a headache - brain overload !!

Love the even "lower" level LX line
The SNR049,033 bezel (GMTs) are FRICTION bidirectional...otherwise I'd pick one up.
At least the diver's bezels are proper SN045, 041,029..etc
We all need some spring drive in our lives.

Sbga427 or sbga429. 39 mm. 5k. Pop of green. Come with leather straps. I own 10 but my 429 gets the most wrist time.
