Thanks a lot! This is my first GS so I’ll have to look into the new models to see the difference in the hands. I believe this one is from the late 90’s.

Congratulations. A GS on my wish list one day ! Looks like that might be a strap monster.

Congratulations…. Enjoy your honeymoon 🙂

Thanks! I hope you’re able to get yours soon! I bought this used and it was in mint condition. Not sure what a “strap monster” is lol. Forgive me I’m new to being “ into watches “ but if you mean it’ll look good on different straps, i have ordered two more straps for it, a cognac color ostrich leg ( didn’t even know that was a thing ) and a peanut brown color alligator.

Yup a monsters exactly that. When I get (eventually) my GS although I love the metal bracelet, thinking of one like yours on leather as much easier to change over straps. BTW tidy desk !

Simply beautiful. Enjoy!

Niiice! I like having the leather on this model. I saw the same model on eBay with a metal bracelet and it was nice but i think the leather does a lot for it.

You’re right about that! I got it on eBay from a seller named kumar_watch_japan. They have some nice older stuff in great condition. https://www.ebay.com/str/kumarwatchjp?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lonwef-irxs&sssrc=3418065&ssuid=880rVxX6S-u&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
