Today my SBGJ235 came. It is a shame that it is so complicated here to upload pictures. I would have liked to show you.

With a few work-arounds it works, but it is really time-consuming ...

Beautiful watch, very nice.

Next time, try Tapatalk. It’s very easy to share photos using that service.

That is perfect.

This is what I'm wearing today, but recycling an old photo of it

Very nice,
Yes, in the real world the texture isn't super-noticeable - as you usually don't see it in low lighting indoors, it seems flat; while if the lighting is too high you don't see it either - too many reflections despite the anti-reflective coating underneath the glass.

But if you're outside with lots of light, and then part of the watch face goes into shadow (so there's no glare in the way) you can see the texture, it makes it a bit more interesting.

I really like the clear and simple design, and the way the seconds hand lands on the markers perfectly without any shake. And of course quartz means you can just put it on and go whenever. It's slow by about 2 seconds over the last 6 months (not seconds per day, seconds per 6 months)!

Love this piece.. it's so awesome. This, the 005, sbgm235 and the new white birch are just incredible dials. Give GS a few more years for people to come around to their beauty and quality.
