Sold my SLGH005 to fund a SBGJ201

Decided the SLGH005 "White Birch" wasn't totally doing it for me. While the dial is marvelous, the 9SA5 movement accuracy of +10-12s a day made me angry, and I decided to sell to fund the SBGJ201. I've been longing for a GMT for a while, and felt good about selling the time-only SLGH005 for a GMT with a similar style in terms of color.

Very surprised to hear that that 9SA5 movement has accuracy of +10-12s. It is supposed to be much more accurate. Did you try getting it fixed via service? Just curious.

Great GMT btw and looks great on you.

Mine is over a year old and runs +3s / day.

I wanted the White Birch so bad until I saw it in person. The silver dial didn't do it for me. The spring drive White Birch has a nicer dial but I didn't want another spring drive.
