Incoming! GS Diver

Hi all,

Just picked this beauty up on C24 at a great price. It’s chunky, but wears a tad smaller than the specs would indicate. Has a nice heft at around 200g. So far very pleased. Since I sold my SMP 300 I’ve had the itch to bring another diver into the rotation. Cheers!

Thanks for all the nice feedback!

Diameter on this is 43.6mm but wears slightly smaller due to lug-lug being 49mm and the lower profile 13mm height. It’s still chunky but more wearable imho vs other GS divers. I believe this is a Japan-only release.
