Best brownies I've ever seen! Texture might be a bit hard to swallow though.

"Accidental bakers" indeed

Congrats!

It's a limited edition of 200pcs for Asia only.
This link made my lust for the watch unbearable so sought hard to find one.

That dial is very nice. It goes from very dark green to a lively and vibrant turquoise.
It's impossible to capture its real depth and beauty but here are two shots trying to show what I mean.

Apologies for yet again boring you with a picture of this watch.
But it is so satisfying to finally be an owner of this masterpiece from GS.
Divers have been my favorite watch style since 1994 when I bought my first Rolex Sub.
Since owning the A071 I quickly realized the GS Diver is by far the most beautiful diver one can own. It became my favorite watch within weeks. Could not help it.
Now, with the 'Aji Valley' dial I am in 'diver watch' heaven. It will be a struggle to wear any other watch in my collection from now on, I am sure.

Not able to speak on behalf of others but I am rather enjoying your "boring" shots of the watch. Great pics!

Really making me think about a GS diver. How thick does the watch "feel" and look on normal wear?

What a stunner! That teal dial (seems more teal than green in my opinion) is quite striking! Congratulations!

Cool watch but what a crazy way for it to ship. So did you not get the box and papers for it?
