WOW! fantastic!
it does look great! I was worried about the collaboration that it would be on the caseback or somehow ostentatiously displayed like Hodinkee - but this is so good !! Congratulations!! I think this just moved up a few notches on my list !

I’m finding the size to be perfect. It wears slightly smaller than a 6 digit Sub despite the silver dial and slightly larger/thicker case, yet it’s big enough for you to know it’s there. And then on the flip side, the clasp is so svelte and the bracelet so smooth, it’s all just a real pleasure. As for “wrist presence”, up close, there are so many fine details to enjoy, but from further away it just looks like a watch, IMHO. Which is exactly how I like it. Nice!! Hope it arrives soon! Quote:
Thanks. I know some people aren’t fans of the blue LE stamp on the rear crystal. I actually like it, because of the blue, the lion and the celebrating of the LE without doing something cheesy like some other collaborations...Also, the stamp is limited to the center of the dial, so there is still plenty to look at.

039/250 just found its way into my collection today. A perfectly awesome 20th anniversary gift from my wife. Such a beautiful watch.

Mine was, in part, for my 15th wedding anniversary. My day is coming.... glad to see it wasn’t a trauma! |

Man, I can't get enough of these pics! Breathtaking!
My AD is starting to feature GS quite a bit and I love seeing all of their pieces. I would love to see this one in the case one day! |

Unfortunately I don’t think you’ll ever see this in your ADs display as this is a Timeless Luxury limited edition of 250. Now it’s entirely possible they get one in on trade.

Gorgeous watch, just placed an order for mine, was told will ship end of November.
GS is growing worldwide and this is the first special watch for the US market only limited to 250 units, have a feeling its one of those watches people would wish they had bought a few years from now. |

It seems like GS has quite a few LE. Is that accurate? I actually like when a brand has many LE. I don’t care about collectibility so I like it when every few months something fresh is released. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I noticed that as well. Agree, always having something fresh and unique.

I was really lucky that Timeless could get it shipped to me while I was on vacation in the States.... otherwise, I would have had to wait until late March for it! Quote:

Who knows what the future will bring with this one, but one thing I do know is that I am grateful to get to enjoy it for many years to come. Quote:
The trick is to know when you find one you love, and then stay happy when the next one comes out. ;-) |

Many thanks, Bas and Mario. "Funny" thing happened to me today...I've been lucky enough to have some nice watches for several years now, but today was the first time I took a cloth to wipe my watch clean to admire the polishing (as opposed to simply cleaning it). After having done it, I had a quick thought of "just what am I doing right now?" So far, I'm really happy to have joined the GS world of watches. |

What is the thickness like on this model?
I've had a Hi Beat GMT before and it was quite beefy. But being a Spring Drive maybe it's slimmer? |

I’ve read 13.8 mm. Thanks to the beautiful sculpting of the case and lugs as well as the Zaratsu polishing, it wears very well. |
