New GS is 62 GS cases



Just put down a deposit for this. It’s supposed to be a little pink cherry blossom or something. I just think it’s awesome. Thinner than 13mm which is great by GS standards.

Looks lovely. Is the case shape more like the rounded SBGA211 snowflake or the angled GS hi beat angled versions?

Based on 4 seasons. $6300 each. Both the spring drives are titanium case and both of the high beats are steel.

It's been said many times on here, but man GS is really kicking some people's teeth in right now.

The only hesitation that I have is their less than stellar after sales/service reputation.

I love that pink-ish and green dial.

But the price for springdrive with titanium case is the same as high-beat with SS case?

As the OP noted, it's a 62GS-based case with box crystal, similar to my SBGA125G. One of my favorite contemporary cases

Since I have seen travelller‘s marvellous pics, I have been waiting for this to happen.

Ordered the winter version yesterday.

GS at its best...extraordinary new dials in classic 1960s cases.

I hope that the High Intensity Titanium is living up to what they say.
Normal Ti is very soft in my opinion.

Are these 4 watches only available in the US? The Watchtime article seems to suggest so...

The more I see these, the more I really like them. I put money down for the spring because I think that real subtle pink is actually rather cool. And I have nothing like it in my collection.

They look great. I just wish they were 38mm for me. Anyone seen any shots of the cases other than head on. I would love to see more of the case.

I'm 99% certain it's the same exact case as my SBA125G. Have a look at my "pictorial" (link in the quoted post below). Variations, aside from the dial, will be which "facets" of the case are brushed and which are polished. The hands also are finished to match the corresponding case finish

Looks similar in size and case to the SBGA211 Snowflake Spring Drive.
