It may be tough to get either, as I don't have a Japan connection, lol.

40mm, but not exactly svelte at a smidge under 14mm thick.

Oh Lord this dial is stunning! I think I just found a partner to obtain for the GS I will get next month!

Going to get the SBGE245! Can't wait for it to arrive!

I may have spotted a blue peacock. I’m deep into the hunt. Is this Urban Legend or does it really exist? Only time will tell, but I’ve been tracking this elusive bird ever since I first saw Ben Lee’s post. More to come .....

Good for you tom! I’m jealous I want one but haven’t seen any for sale anywhere.

Very nice piece. I have too GS already - Snowflake and the 20th Anniversary SBGH267

Wondering whether this will be additive to a collection already containing the SBGH267?

I think 2 blue dial GS would be a little repetitive unless you have a very large collection. The 267 is beautiful and I would keep it unless you can get this one.

I'm going for a Peacock (already have), a Snowflake (on order), and this watch in blue. That way I have 3 colors and a combination of Hi-Beat and Spring Drive.

The bluebird of happiness arrived today! First impressions are that it’s beautiful in the sunlight and a little subdued inside or in the shade. But overall I think it’s a nice compliment to my peacock. One more incoming in a week or so and I will have my 3 GS’s I’ve been wanting.
