SBGW283 on the oyster style bracelet. I love it. The case size and shape really work well on the bracelet. If this had better than 30M water resistance, this would be a great daily watch even with manual wind (which I never minded). Still waiting on the beads of rice bracelet from GS.

That does look great. Where’s the bracelet from?

Bought from another GS enthusiast who purchased from Seiya Japan. The BOR bracelet is much harder to find but the boutique said another couple months for mine.

That is beautiful. I have not seen this one in the wild. Interesting color and configuration.

Simple, easy to read and just flies under the radar. Love the size and how easily it slips under the cuff of my shirt…

Very nice Dave, congratulations!. I remember you started a thread about this reference not too long ago. I think all my future 'new' GS will likely be more 9F. They spoil you after a while

Thanks Adam! Good memory. I loved the photos when it was announced but had to wait patiently to see them in person. As soon as I did, it was all over.

After only a few days I already love the 9F. With their extreme precision and ease of ownership they certainly do spoil you. I’ll be needing more, already plotting my next - it will have a 9F movement and a 44GS case.

So, I have several GS's and like them all but I realize this one is my favorite, the dial, the unique case and also somewhat the cool name make it my no.1 GS.
