I'd describe it as putting green..green.

Yes.

Certain angles it looks silver and you can see the vertical texture to the dial but a slight roll of the wrist changes it to a white/off white/eggshell look and the texture seems to disappear. Very impressed with the watch. The indices are incredible and capture light at any and all angles.

I can tell this will not be my last GS

Excited to get my first GS!
Sound like a good deal, congratulations!

Do you mind to give the dealer name so other people can order from them?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you

It was JB Hudson Jewelers in Minneapolis, MN. I worked with Kathleen and she was great! Tell her Eric sent you if you decide to deal with them.

Looks great! Enjoy it!

I was in the bamboo forest in Kyoto in September, 2019 upon which the watch is based. Seems like ten years ago.

That is perfect! It's amazing how a small detail (green hands) can add so much character to a watch.

Congrats OP!

If I was to get one, I’d also go Team Shadow. Nice colour combo.

This is a good price point for GS, especially if you can get a discount too!

I like the dial color on the Shadow but wasn't sure about the color of the second hand and power reserve. Looks a little too lime green in most pictures and videos. Although it looks much better in the picture above.

Both great references IMO
