The strap is a bit dark, looks black. I should get my 2 new straps by end of the week

Congrats Michelle. Just a brilliant watch for the money. Maybe the best value in an inflated market. I bought mine from Joe K at Toppers and paired it with a strap with ivory threading. It gets as many compliments as watches costing 5 times as much.

Such a classic in the GS lineup. Nice size too for smaller wrists. Congrats.

Congratulations on a great watch! Picked mine up Christmas 2022 at the GS Flagship store, pictured here, in the Ginza. Just ordered the SS bracelet for it.

Thank you all.
The only issue is the deployant clasp. It rolls up the side of my wrist. Seems to be a flaw with the design. I may just put it on a tang buckle. Got a couple other blue straps for it yesterday. Both lighter shade so may pick up a bit more of the blue on the GMT hand

Longines makes a great bracelet that will fit this watch.
