Only if they kept the snowflake dial, a slimmer case and do away that silly logo print over the sapphire case back it would be absolutely perfect.
I'm so torn right now between this and the Snowflake. Right now I'm leaning towards the Snowflake because I love how the power reserve meter looks like swept snow, and I feel that the GMT on the SBGE249 adds a bit more clutter than what I want. However, the dial on the SBGE249 looks amazing, I just wish I could see it in person to help me decide.

Nice, congrats!

You make some good arguments....I’m also without a GMT at the moment, and I’ve wanted a Spring Drive GS for a long, long time. ;-)
