When will the new movements spread to more models?
I'm looking for an everyday all occasions watch featuring these new movements. I know they're only available in a solid gold dress watch and a massive saturation diver.
I'm hoping these put these movements in many other models and slim down their case designs. Does anyone have any insight on when we might see them announce some models with these movements? Do you think they will become the standard Hi-Beat and Spring Drive movements for their entire lineup soon? I assume we will see variants of both in the GMT and Chronograph lineup as well as other areas. My ideal combo would be a slim, simple, no date diver with the Spring Drive and no exhibition case back. Then, a precious metal no date dress watch with the High-Beat movement and exhibition case back. What are good sources for the latest leaks and rumors from GS outside of mainstream websites like Worn & Wound and Hodinkee? |

I'd also love to see the new 9SA5 high-beat rolled out to their main line. I'm sure it will soon enough.
It looks amazing and is also nice and thin. Exciting times ahead for GS. |

I think their SLGH002 is nice and in the right direction but I have some issues with it.
Date window needs to go. Remove some of the dial text. Remove some of the case back text. Keep it clean and classy. Doesn’t need to show water resistance and other such things. It’s a gold dress watch. Nobody should care if it’s 50 meter or 100 meter water resistant. Price is just too high. I’m not sure how successful GS has been but the prices are a bit too much. $43,000 is silly for a non credor non-solid precious metal bracelet watch. This should have been $25,000 new. I’ve been watching for these 2 new limited edition releases on Grey Market and they’re already less than msrp new/preordered. I don’t think GS needs to follow that trend of Omega and others of just overpricing everything so their vendors/customers feel obligated to huge discounts. But it’s an interesting start to the two new movement lineups. I think an olive dial green GMT with gold accents, slim new case, and the 9RA5 would be pretty sweet too. |
