so good looking.
Thanks pal, the dial is hard to capture in a photo. Satin black that reminds me of the SD4k, but I bit more flat. The markers jump off the dial.

Started with the one on the left. Ending with the one on the right, just back from repair and service. Toxic rocks!

Thanks Hop. Rane of Shadowwatchmaker did the patina on the dial, hands, and bezel. He didn't ask for any "special favors" so not sure if this is Terry's guy.

That bezel patina is amazing. I attempted it once with bleach but stopped well before I got there. I saw so many that looked patchy or started chipping and it scared me into stopping but this is what I wanted to accomplish.

Thanks Heath. I've attempted it before without much success. Not sure what Rane does to achieve this look. He's good and fast. You can find him on Instagram.

So hot Nick. Does not look like the crystal is scuffed anymore, did you polish them out?

indeed it is.
hop, if you still have the 114060 (i know things move fast with you) i'd love to see a comparo shot.
with the gs on zulu, fist quick glance is reminiscent of the lug profile of the nd ceramic sub.

Sub is en route to RSC. One end link is too narrow, leaving movement that I didn’t like. If I still have this GS when the Sub returns I’ll do a comparison shot.

The Sub is a “large 40” and this GS is 43.5 but similar in design.



Thanks fellas.

Thanks Rob!

Sure did about a week ago. Quick polywatch and my glasses cloth. Not sure if there’s a better method but can’t see any marks without light reflection.

Thanks T.

Definitely wider, but I think height is about the same @ 13mm. Because it’s wider it sort of feels flatter.

The lug holes are low in the lug, resulting in the top of the case/lug appearing much higher than the strap, therefore giving it a thicker appearance (think Black Bay).

Here are shots to illustrate and compare.
