Decided to join a OWG-challenge in whole of March. Wearing only this GS for 31 consecutive days.

well, if you had to stick with just one, that's a damn fine choice ! Excellent pics too !

gnuyork · 13 March 2020, 09:12 AM

I'd wear that for 31 days, and do it all over again.

dchang81 · 13 March 2020, 10:15 AM

Loved it when I tried it on. I'm curious the reason for that style caseback

ap1 · 13 March 2020, 10:25 AM

Looks great

037 · 13 March 2020, 12:10 PM

Did you win?

That's a great watch to stick with for a month.

Psmith · 13 March 2020, 04:29 PM

1William · 13 March 2020, 08:30 PM

I might do that, but for 30 days as April only has 30 days.

Me too as many GS have some sort of printed logo underneath the glass for some strange (and might I say unnecessary reason).

Only 42% completed, but my Rolex collection however - might loose big time...

That’s a laser etched image in the middle of the sapphire (not the back) and is for the same reason as the LEC at six o’clock on Rolex crystals - to make counterfeiting more difficult.

It’ makes the LEC pretty crude in comparison. But as Rolex don’t have display case backs it’s not really a fair comparison.

The logo on the back is a deal breaker for me. Gorgeous watch substantially Cheap and buy the stencil on the back glass

I love the blue lion, personally. The logo and the color. Gives the back a clear identity as opposed to “just another exposed back” (true haute horlogerie excepted). And there’s still plenty of viewing of the movement.

sky flake has never been a good adoption... I tried to get Ice Blue used.

Ny325 · 16 March 2020, 07:39 AM

Beautiful classy watch. Enjoy it.

Loevhagen · 18 March 2020, 05:39 AM

Haven't worn the same watch for 17 days in a row the last 7 years, so this GS is a gem.

sam florio · 18 March 2020, 10:27 AM

Wow! Stunning

outdoors_guy · 19 March 2020, 10:28 AM

Stunning watch.

Loevhagen · 21 March 2020, 05:07 AM

Haven't missed any Rolex for the last 20 days wearing this. :)

Loevhagen · 21 March 2020, 07:17 PM

Day 21 in a row...

jlam1127 · 22 March 2020, 11:16 AM
