Watches - another OCD problem

Best looking GS I’ve seen in a minute and that’s saying something!

A date window on that GS would make it even better IMHO.

Seconded because I really like the clean face.
I’m at least a little relieved that this will unobtainable for me because I would be tempted to do something very stupid! I havent felt this much lust for a watch in a long time. Last one was the Tadao Ando Bulgari Octo….too beautiful for words!

I like date windows as a matter of practicality, but dislike them as a matter of aesthetics in most instances, especially this one.
When GS reins in their instincts to clutter the dial, they're hard to beat.
-
That's a beaut, and no date window needed.
For those of you who are following this thread:

Will understand why I need one of these

Those small, hand wound, no-date GS are absolutely lovely and are great value when compared to the rest of the range.
Agree whole heartedly. I saw this watch in St Martin but it was sadly just out of reach. What a lovely thing it is….
Has anyone seen the new King Seiko watches? ~$1800 with subtle colored dials and wear well. Movement is a little less than mind blowing though.
-
Dial is a stunner and I also really love those kind of cushion case lugs. It is a beautiful watch and I bet they wear like a dream.

@Giles shame you don't do smaller watches, because Hodinkee have a lovely old Aqua Lung No Radiations listed. Unfortunately, it's only 37.5 mm.
Fortunately, Rolex have you covered. The new Sea Dweller Deepsea Challenge is a 50 mm diameter lump of over-engineered titanium, with 11,000 metres of water resistance. That's nearly twice what Omega managed with their laughingly named Ultra Deep.
-
@Graeme my titanium watch collection would be begging for that deepsea if it wouldn't look comically big on my wrist.
Have you read anything about them expanding the titanium options? I remember reading about a Ti Yachtmaster a while back. I would like to add a dive watch and right now the 50 fathoms is the only thing that appeals to me.

Enough with the text, Rolex. It reminds me of this terrible political cartoonist Ben Garrison who is so bad at what he does that he has to label everything in his “art” so people will understand his crude metaphors. You don’t need to annotate every single feature in the timepiece
And the proportions. Such a tiny dial relative to the size of the thing. Swing and a miss.
