Your thoughts on this?

Pics from Hodinkee. Available in March 2023. The SBGJ27 ‘Yukigesho’. High-Beat GMT Caliber 9S86. Power reserve of 55 hrs. Price = $7,100.

Personally, and without seeing it in real life, too little contrast for me- I'd prefer a dial that allows the hour/ minute hands to stand out a little more.

As stated above, a bit monochromatic

On the other hand, Hodinkee and GS have a limited (500 pieces) edition GMT - SBGM239 with a blue dial and a nice bracelet. Have only seen website pics, but I like it.

It's a nice piece and as stated above, it'll be great when we start seeing actual images of it from the release or better yet viewing in person.

Not sure if I would buy one of these but that's just me. This watch certainly has it's place in a collection.

Nice watch and I like the brand. I am lost in a sea of models but do enjoy reading about the new releases weekly.

I agree. Some color variation on this one would look nice.

Hey! That’s my watch, loving everything about it. Not a spring drive, but a gleaming case, great fit and +10 seconds in over a week.

Pictures never do GS dials justice - I’d go look at it.
