Looks great, can't wait to see some in-hand pictures. I've been waiting for a 9SA5 watch without a "birch" dial.

Very nice. Husband has an SLA057 with ever brilliant steel. It really is noticeable.

Let’s take the dial from this line, the movement from that line, and the case from yet another line and then increase price by 2500+. I like their stuff but the amount of products is dizzying. And with each new version it crushes the prior lookalike residual values. I like their stuff, these are just my observations, I’m not a hater.

It seems like yesterday GS was in the $4-$6k range. Now it’s $9,500. Wow.

It’s really perplexing . I feel like they shut up too fast. And like others have said, there are just so many of them. Unless you are buying a low numbered LE, you really need to make sure you like what you are buying bc I bet resale is gonna take a big hit. And I say this as an Owner of a few . With regards to the new timepiece discussed in this thread , I am probably in the minority but I’m not a big fan of the light colored metallic dials in person - I think they look better in the pics .

Do they discount on pieces like this? I don't own an GS - have always been intrigued but they are often too thick... That and the fact that I think they could make some changes to the bracelets to make the more elegant (eg. need more of a taper IMO as well). At this price point, the bracelet (in general) seems to fall short.

As others have said, too many new products in a short period of time. This, plus the fact that many dials are actually repurposed in various models with only colour changes makes the original references less special in my opinion. As for pricing, it's steadily going up and in some segments (e.g. precious metal) they've priced themselves out of the market.

When everything is special and limited, nothing is special or limited..

I like it. Clean, crisp, beautiful harmony of dial, case, and bracelet. I'm not generally a fan of the 44GS case but the execution here is really gorgeous. 40mm case diameter, 47.2 mm L2L, and 11.7 mm thick, great dimensions!! Plus the bracelet is 19mm, that's a HUGE plus comparing to the gargantuan 22mm on the (D)Evolution 9 series.
I do have some reservations about the movement, given the inaccuracies that have been reported by users. It is a gorgeous and innovative movement. Would be nice if they put a Spring drive in here instead.

Yeah I mean those green dial 37mm manual winds were great and limited and we all went nuts over them and they traded for like 2k over. We have since got, blue, baby blue, brown, black, and silver. I probably missed a few. And they even dropped the price on those.
