Incoming... First GS, SBGA403
Been lurking on this one for a long time! Finally pulled the trigger, the 'Lion' 403. Thanks to the advice from DVR and 1William on TRF :)
Pictures cannot do justice for its beauty, it is much more shiny in person. Love the light weight and comfort wearing on wrist. It has a bigger dial than the Rolex DSSD, and is more into detail and better polished IMO. Sent from my ELE-L29 using Tapatalk |

This is fantastic watch! Could you post a side shot or two vs the Deepsea, I'm interested in how thick it wears. I saw a Godzilla available and am tempted.

Congratulations. That dial looks spectacular

That is so nice!!! GS dials are my favorite by far! I only own two but they always put a smile on my face.
You did really well! I really like this one! |

The lion is a great looking watch that also has great wrist presence.
I really like the DSSD but I think I like the lion more. Randy |

Woah cool dial! I am not sure I love ALL the dials GS is doing, but this one is killer.

How is the bracelet quality? Does it stand up to the Rolex? I have the Godzilla and am debating on getting the bracelet but have not loved the GS bracelets. It looks great.

Hi, I won't say it stand up with the Rolex Oyster bracelet. The band is good but the clasp is the same one from the Seiko 300m divers. Seiko should have made one better clasp for GS sport watches.

Good to know. And I agree 100% The clasp on the Shark strap is very nice but the strap is so thick. Omega and Rolex bracelets/claps to me feel much more robust than GS. It is almost like they spend so much on the movement and dial and they treat the metal bracelets as an afterthought. I was hoping this one was different. But hard to compete with Rolex bracelets, but for a 10k+ watch I feel their bracelets are lacking. Ok off my soap box. Thx again for the info.
