This is one of the ones I was trying to describe. 44mm but it’s essentially a hooded lug design so that’s almost the whole lug width.
Was stuck between this and the white birch and I went with the latter, so obviously this post is now haunting my dreams…
I picked up the 005 yesterday. I love it.
I hear you on the new ones. I feel like they don’t want to bring the 9SA5 down into the price range where they are marketing those new watches (~$8k, which I think is steep for those). Feels like they want to keep those movements in watches that are going to fetch prices in the range of $9.5-$10k, which is probably an impediment to some of my wish list items above.
I purchased the white birch hi bear yesterday and just stumbled across this comment. Amazing write up and back story on each brand’s respective movements. The Rolex vs GS debate will continue for many moons, but I vertically fall on one side of it. Excited to see what watches the 9sA5 makes its way into this year!
