Thoughts on the SLGA019 Lake Suwa?

Any owners here? Looks beautiful in pics, was going to head to the boutique this week to check it out!

Great looking watch. I am not an owner but an admirer.

I just picked this up . Best of the lake Suwa collection, wonderful titanium bracelet, not nearly as heavy as the other steel versions. The water effect of the dial really pops in all different lighting. And the 5 day spring drive is so amazingly accurate. No complaints.

I had one, enjoyed for awhile and sold it off. Would like to see GS stop repurposing dial designs.

It is indeed a beautiful watch. I personally prefer the high beat version if there is a choice (I think they offer both don't they, or is that just the white birch version of the watch?).

Anyways, I tried it on and unfortunately I felt that it was a little too big for my 16cm wrist. Certainly for me it was marginal if I could carry it off. If you have larger wrists then you should be fine. If you have similar wrist diameter to me, try it in store and see what you think.

Love mine and think it’s the best of Lake Suwa options, and the Spring Drive is cool. Complement my Hi Beat Black Birch… they make a great pair.
