Love your taste as it seems we have an identical collection.

I would add that I fall in and out of love with my GV all time. Doesn't make it a piece to avoid, just that it wouldn't be my first Rolex. As I have said in many other threads, there is nothing else out there on the market that looks even remotely like it.

However these parts together produce a very elegant result - something of a paradox. I like that.

I think it's a great choice. The GV is stunning.

OML, you also possess an artful eye and impeccable taste.

I've said it before: When you consider all that is going on with the GV (dial + crystal), and yet is does not overwhelm or seem over-crowded (like the too-busy Daytona), it is a marvel.

I could do without the big, thick case, but that is another discussion.

I love my GV, and its the only Rolex from the last few years that I do like. That said, if you are looking at future value, consider the Milgauss black dial, which has just been discontinued but is still easy to find.

I like all aspects of the GV - especially the case!

Feels great on wrist.

I never found the GV to give that 100% must have feel when trying on at AD's but I did appeal to me so went with it, once on the wrist and out in the wild it's grown on me to the point me 114060 still has all the stickers on!

Cracking watch and my current favorite

The GV is a very unique watch. I would pull the trigger. I think every collection needs a little "color" sometimes!
