Definitely you have to get that bezel fixed by Kamil „the Lapinist” from my country.

SBGX093 on FKM strap with GS buckle (I believe the buckle is intended for one of their dive watches).

edit: argh, not sure why these show up as blurry when attached.

The dial of the new slga019 lake Suwa 5 day power reserve spring drive is stunning and looks more like moving water than any I've seen.

Newly purchased. I absolutely love it! The fit and finish are way beyond anything I expected. Being a Datejust owner, this rivals it in terms of quality.

I don’t really get the GS bracelet hate. It is wonderfully finished. The brushing is perfection, as is the polished edges. Whilst a bit of clasp micro adjustment would be nice I’m happy with how it fits me.

Ugh, I love that watch. I’m primarily into 9F watches, but this is the one that could convince me to go spring drive.

Just saw this post, so I'm a bit late, apologies ha.

I've had the SBGA415 for over two years and it's my favorite watch I've ever owned. Everything about it is wonderful but the titanium really is the cherry on top. Take the plunge...
