Incoming bday surprise slga021

Just picked up this February surprise for my bday. Love the case design and love the dark blue dial. I missed the lake suwa le but I like this better without the gold accents and also like the darker blue. Still wish they would add micro adjust in the fly but great looking watch.

Here are a couple pics. Varies from looking black to blue in different lighting.

Beautiful piece. Enjoy esp the 5 day power reserve for which the indicator is nicely tucked in the caseback. Does GS claim a change in hue between this and the SLGA007?

Thanks everyone.

It is def a darker shade of blue than the 007. I like the hidden power reserve.

Saw more photos, videos and articles of the SLGA021. As in your account, this dial is darker than that of the SLGA007. Here is my SLGA007.

Looks gorgeous!

someone should make a video of the 007 and 021 to show how they play with light differently...
