I am really on the fence here. Money not an object. I want an 9F watch. The three hander with the more ”convential” case or the one with the 44 GS case and more polished areas on the bracelet...

The 44 gs seems bigger on the wrist. More GS dna. The other one is more standard like an Explorer - this I kind of like.

On the other hand, that mirror finish...

What would you choose?

Tough call, but I'm leaning towards the SBGN007 with the 9F86 GMT movement..

I bought my SBGT235 in Hiroshima just over three years ago, and have worn it most days since. Case is 36mm, and just under 10mm thick, bracelet is very nice, too.

Have you tried on a 44GS case? They wear smaller than they look in photos. I wasn’t a fan until I tried one on, now I wouldn’t buy a GS with any other case.

Since I’ve got my SBGJ235 with its beautiful 44GS case I can hardly wear any other of my watches. This case is really addicting, be careful.

I have the sbgn007 and love it. That said, I would prefer it had the 44GS case as I am a big fan of the "Grammar of Design."

I'm very happy with this one.

Understandably.

I am ok with no 44GS case on my 9F, but I gain anti-magnetic in the process. :)

Case is great. But bracelet sucks. Very rough on underside and hairpuller

19mm makes straps challenging as does the flaring endlinks. Makes it difficult to find a strap thick enough at the end.
