For many years, I have thought about getting a GS, but which one?
Last year while in Sydney, Australia I visited the GS Boutique and was taken with the simplicity of the dial, the size and that it came fitted on a strap.
Just to add, that the colour of the dial can look more or less creamy under different lighting.
I have searched a few forums and it appears that they are not all that common.

Would appreciate your thoughts on the watch or alternatives.
Currently not considering the Snowflake style.

Below, is a link to some photos of the piece.

Many thanks

Thats a nice watch, but take your time, there are so many. I love the GS deep blue dials like the SBGR321, the GMT SBGJ235 is also great, same for the one with silver dial.

^^^^^^^
Thank you
Trust me I have.
This is only the 2nd one that I have liked.

Looks very clean and elegant. I like it.

Any other thoughts on this piece or similar?

Lovely watch.
I like the strong hands and indices.

A couple other GS w/ strap:
SBGR287 - 37mm
SGBR261 - 39.5mm
SBGR231 - Hand wind, no date, 37mm.

I think the SBGR293 is a dandy. Spring drive with classic looks & perfectly matched strap.

Let us know what you decide.

That’s a beautiful watch, look at those indices

It's a beaut no doubt, but of course there are many other tempting models as well

If it said "Patek" on the dial, you'd have to get on a waiting list and establish a relationship with AD :-) Buy it.
