Husband has the SBGJ237 that is somewhat similar and loves it. Both are stunning. Congratulations.

While I respect GS, I will take the opposite position. These GS's seem too slab like for my taste. the bezel looks all wrong.

If they angled the bezel similar to the sbge255,257 I would consider it, but as it is it does nothing for me.

Now, this is personal taste and no criticism of your watch, it has a wonderful face and is gorgeous in person, I just dislike the design ethos of the bezel

I only posted a video here which is a highlight reel of the dial, lume and movement.

That's fair. We can't all like the same watches! Thanks for looking.

I have the SBGJ239. Same but green dial, white/green bezel, and alligator skin strap with deployant.

One of my top 3 watches that I have.

Incredible timepiece. Yours is fantastic. I love the similar gold and steel blue dialed version as well

I think I've seen that one at the boutique last year. Beautiful piece!

The gold and blue looks gorgeous in photographs. I haven't seen one of those in person!

A few folks asked how this watch wears on my modest 6.5" wrist, so here is another clip focusing on the case and how it wears on wrist.
