My first GS

Went to the mall today to pick up a beater-watch. Nothing really tickled my fancy, so I figured while I was in the neighborhood, I would stop in at my favorite AD for a chat.

Damn...those chats can get expensive!

Congratulations! I got the same watch as my first GS a few weeks ago. I am very happy with the watch and it really rekindled my interest in watches.

I'm finding it a real challenge taking a proper picture of this watch. The dial is so deep, it's almost three dimensional.

Totally agree. The watch is so dynamic. Your photo there does it good justice to how deep ruby/wine it gets. Fantastic piece.
