Thoughts on Next Watch

The SBGY007

More on the dress side, but I have plenty of sport and casual watches

Dimensions are ideal, 38.5mm case; 10.2mm thick, very slim by GS standards

The 9R31 movement, spring drive, manual wind, +- 1 sec/day

Dial is a light blue, beautifully textured, simple layout

Dark navy blue alligator strap, deployent clasp, a must on these watches.

I like that the power reserve indicator is on the back, keeps the dial clean.

The finishing is superb, like all the GS models, even my SBGM221 positively gleams in the light.

Wish there was a screw down crown, not that I’ll be swimming with it, but that’s another security feature. And I prefer the strap to wrap inside, rather than outside, so no excess showing

The wish list is minor, the watch itself is first rate, does anyone here have this model, or can offer some additional information? Pic from GS website
Thanks

I like it Jack

Slim, beautiful proportions, and the dial

A non screw down crown in this instance wouldn’t bother me
