Tanuki, thank you for your kind words. Honestly, I have no skills. Just using my iPhone, trying to get some convenient natural light angle and just shoot 10-20 photos and choose the best. No special hardware, lights or software. Not even using the editing options on iPhone (that’s too complicated for me haha).

Is this piece impossible to get new from a GS dealer at this point?

Definitely it is impossible. It was gone within hours back in June 2022 when announced.

I’m biased but I think this watch is really one of GS’s best. The simplicity of the case is classy and understated letting the dial do all the talking.

I just bought a new light gray GS strap from Wako. I didn’t have the watch with me. Was the strap hard to change? Now that I’m back at home there doesn’t appear to be a lot of room between the strap and case. I don’t want to scratch it so maybe I’ll take it to the local boutique to have it changed.

Were you able to get the bracelet from your AD? Did they have to order one?

It was VERY hard. There is almost no space to manouver. You should stick some scotch tape on the lugs not to scratch them.

Thank you for the info. I’m scared so I’ll take it to the boutique to have the strapped changed.
