Thoughts on the new GS SBGW313?

released tonight..

If only my wife loved watches..........I am an Elegance collection fanboi but honestly I can say that GS is batting 1000 regardless the collection.

GS seems to be on the right track but I’ve noticed prices are creeping up quite a bit. I was at the boutique a few weeks back and didn’t realize the three hander I liked was over 10k.

·

I love the strategic use of color with GS and, owning a Soko Shadow, I am no stranger to a green seconds.

I don't know how I feel about the green and pink though.

I also wonder if they're cutting corners s bit. That pinion looks uncapped. It's one of the GS touches that I absolutely adore. It looks so odd to me that I wonder if it's a mistake in the render.

I agree — especially for a manual watch, they have this priced in the Speedmaster range — feels more like a 3.5-4k range to me. Still want it 😂

Definetly a bold choice w the pink/green combo, I like it imo makes it more fun, but in a street wear dressed down way. On the pinion I think my 415 is uncapped as well, not sure why they do that on some models.

Live pic from the GS9 event in LA. My crap photo doesn't do the dail justice. Really like the 36.5mm case too.

Oh wow thanks for sharing - the dial is more reflective than the render and the texture looks really cool

Really? I swear this is the first time I've noticed an uncapped GS and I've looked at a lot of 415s over the years.

Didn't they cap the 413 and the other seasons as well?

Grand Seiko, I love you so much but you make my brain hurt so bad.

I like that dial, a lot.

·

That pink dial looks nice! They should really add some tapering to the bracelets however. Then would be an ideal watch for the wife, if only she liked watches 😢

·

No date and lumed markers is a win in my book

·

Looks very similar to half the GS’s out there. 🤔

GS and Omega seem to disappoint me when it comes to bracelets.

Just add some taper in width and in the thickness to make the wearing experience is better. It’s rather unfortunate that every brand isn’t adding half links, micro adjusts and some on the fly system whether it’s a quick 4-6mm extension or a full multiple length extension option in the 5k + realm.

I think Longines and Tudor are somewhat leading the pack when it comes to that kind of quality of life upgrades.

·

If I wanted a pure dress watch, I’d certainly consider it. It’d look killer with a suit and clean white shirt #realmenwearpink

·

Thoughts? I think that it's a watch, actually I'm pretty sure that it's a watch.

Ahhh, no date window, no power reserve....perfection

I don’t mind the pink at all and would gladly rock a pink dial. But the green is throwing it off for me. Is this a Watch Crunch special edition? Haha
