Anyone have one?

Considering adding it… but AD doesn’t have one on display.

This is a limited edition. But ask them if they can order one for you. Unlike Rolex.

Yeah, they’ll order one for me. Issue is buying something/putting deposit down without trying it on first isn’t ideal.

GS watches photograph very different vs reality, unless someone goes through specific effort to get the angles right. At least in my experience. I think it has something to do with relatively “plain” designs but exceptionally reflective/dynamic surfaces. A little like trying to photograph a diamond.

Was hoping someone here picked one up already and could offer up photos. Believe they’re making 500 of them so I guess somewhat rare (and therefore unlikely).

I hear you. In case they need a deposit or you feel obligated to buy if they eventually bring the watch in their store (you can openly discuss these) I suggest you read all reviews and watch all videos you can find online before committing.
But, GS is NOT Rolex and the ADs attitude is MUCH accommodating, in my neck of the woods at least. So it would be worthwhile to discuss any concerns with them. Ah, there are discounts to be had, as well. Looking at $1000 on a 7K watch. Good luck!

Beauty, thanks. Did it come with a second strap? Those photos are great but how would you describe it?

Seriously considering getting one after these shots…

These are photos from Instagram. Mainly of Derek Mon. But I can confirm for 100% - it does come with the strap. This is a Jean Rousseau of Paris strap made of real kimono material.
