Incoming: SLGH003

[fullofboats]

This piece was on my radar and I was curious about the thinner Hi-beat movement. All of the past spring drive and Hi-beat models were both too thick and too big. The SLGH003 is the best fitting automatic GS I've ever tried on. I have a 16cm // 6.5" wrist for reference.

The dial is also a surprise to me. I thought the blue dial and red seconds hand looked lame in pictures. In person though everything works super well and the watch has a much sportier vibe than I expected. In hand it feels very high-end as well. The hour markers and hour/minute hands are really polished to the next level and gives the watch a pop. I'd say this is a winner vs. the new oyster perpetual or date-just. $10k price is a bit of an issue, but considering the amount of watch in this piece I struggle to think of a comparable at the price point.
