Incoming GS SBGA001
Received this two days ago but it took a bit to get it sized. It's now on my wrist. This is my second SG (first was 9F62 powered; this one 9R65 powered) and my first watch using Spring Drive. Curious how they do with shock resistance in comparison to Rolex. Their water resistance rating don't seem to equate from what I can tell. At any rate, without further ado...

Such a great watch on so many levels. And that dial! I own a Spring Drive but I use it as a dress watch so I couldn’t tell you about it’s durability. I’m really loving yours. Enjoy it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks, all; the watch is everything I was hoping for in a GS; so far it's good to about a second per day as well. I'll be wearing if this week with the exception of trips to the beach!!! |

Actually I was thinking more about sand and the bracelet since I don't have a strap for it.

That IS a great watch congrats.
Take it to the beach if you feel like it just rinse it well after. They are made to be worn.
