I saw these and read the reviews. Another great release that makes my buying more difficult based on choices.

GS loves their anniversaries. :-)

They are going too far with "limited" releases.

These dials just take the winter/spring dial SD and made it white, nothing truly new design wise. They look good, but only if you ignore the case dimensions (that chrono is just too thicc). Also I find the chrono pushers are just too tall and prominent on GS

I feel like GS is always on the verge of a great release, and then they fall short for some reason or other. The "Evolution 9" direction they are taking has such great promise, but then they put a 22 mm wide bracelet that barely tapers and has no microadjustment. Bracelet and clasp are always after thoughts for this brand. At least with the 20 mm there was plenty of great strap options.

Feels like they are copying another familiar brand that starts with “R” a bit…Especially the bezel…

I'm guessing that, like my SBGE201, the bezel is sapphire and fully lumed, so not completely like the Rolex GMT- and I wouldn't say it shares any other similarity other than having 4 hands....

It's a very easy wearing 44mm, so I'm down with the size, but, being picky, I'd prefer an all white rehaut and I do wish it had the newer 5 days Spring Drive movement, with the PR on the back.
Maybe the next L.E....

Interesting with the sapphire lumed bezel, never heard of that…do you have a picture of yours when the lume is charged. Would be cool to see!

At 44mm, it’s up against the Clownmaster (YM 2) which is also 44mm, a real
“tank” IMO…but I am used to wearing vintage pieces at 35mm : )

Something weird visually also happens with the overlap of the blue and the white from the bezel and the rehaut when you turn the bezel 180°. I didnt notice at first but the bezel isn't split 50/50 at 6 and 18 like the Rolex bezel. I did a quick edit to see how it would look but the image upload keeps failing.

The GMT is a stunner in real life, tried the standard one some months ago, the bezel captures the light and changes tones depending on angle of the light, hard to capture in photos, really nice
I think fits better wrist bigger than mine anyway but it is a nice watch.

I don't know. I'd like the SBGJ255 more.

Beautiful watch. Nice pic.

I love how clean the dial looks- the PR on the front of mine doesn't massively bother me, despite how it might sometimes appear in pics, it is fairly tiny and discreet- but seeing this High Beat version, I have to say I prefer the dial without it.
I would love to see the newer, rear PR spring drives make it into more watches.
