Incoming - GS SLGA007 Lake Suwa Minamo
Got the watch in Jan but never got a chance to post it, would love to share my joy with GS fans here :-)

Can’t go to the real Lake Suwa due to lock down, so spent some time in a small lake to compare the wave dial.

Thank you. That’s Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, the resort was inspired from the Grand Floridian Hotel in WDW. I always miss the great time in Florida, wish I could visit again.

Thank you, and they continue to develop new movement.

Just 2 more things hope they can further improvement:

1) the bracelet with micro adjustment
2) better polish on the movement

This might be the best SS GS has ever produced. A worthy successor to the whirpool
