None of the above!
I would wait for them to move the power reserve to the back on their next snow ice mountain release. IMHO what really need a power reserve indicator are manual wound watches, and indicator of some sort on the back of SGBW series would be nice.
I went for the "Spring", but there are no wrong answers here.
I'm actually very tempted by the light dial GMT that Omeganut posted also.
None of the above!
I really like that diver. It’s like a middle finger to the Submariner (not that there’s anything wrong with the sub)
None of the above!
I love the bottom three. Not so much the first one. Not a fan of the shape of those hands.
@KevinK & @jbird7986, you two are gonna have to duke it out. @KevinK loves it, and @jbird7986 hates it!
When I first saw GS divers, I couldn't quite figure out why they looked so horrible. And then I realized that they were using cathedral hands! On a diver!
Then, after a while...
Had to have it!!!

Aren’t the Mercedes hands on a submariner just a variation of cathedral hands?
@Omeganut First of all, I’m a Duke (University) graduate, so for anything involving the phrase “Duke it out”, I win by default. Second:

Yeah, you're right! But, there is something just... uncanny looking about the SBGA463. It's like these two:
Pretty close, right?
In both cases, I prefer the latter to the former!

With you on that. Was about to say the one without the power reserve fluffing up the symmetry.
Those were the exact 3 I mulled over and ended up going more subtle with the SBGA415 "Stormcloud" 👍🏼
Winter dial for the win.
@IanCognito @AngryArchitect27 these shots are stunning. I was told not to covet my neighbours’ oxen but damn

Allow me to push you over the proverbial (sharp) edge 😉

I tried on the Winter at the AD today and it is so beautiful. The watch is really light and I understand how people could think it feels cheap but does not bother me at all. Need that watch

Exactly my concern. Feels like a cheap quartz but then you turn it over and are greeted with the beautiful Spring Drive movement. Fun Fact - the stripes on the rotor line up perfectly with that of the base plate when you hold the watch straight so the 3 & 9 o'clock plane is level with the ground 🤓👍🏼
