I tried one of these on today. This is a stunning watch. If I hadn’t bought an Omega Diver 2 weeks ago, I’d be wearing it right now.

The dial is such a deep blue it looks black most of the time. But I finally got a shot where you can see the radial brushed blue.

yes, i agree. it looks black most of the time but when the light hits right, it rewards you with a beautiful shade of deep blue

What is the width of the bracelet of this watch at the case? I was thinking that if I do go for this watch, it would be nice to have a good quality rubber strap for it.

Does the lume last all night on this watch? I know it looks spectacular after it’s “charged” under a light but is it still visible at 4am?

It is! The Lumibrite stays very well charged all night. Better so than any of my Rolex.

No - the green (SBGJ239) is available at dealers. I tried both of them on today at a local dealer. Both are gorgeous.

I ended up getting one of these as well as the SBGA231 Diver. GS watches are amazing......
