much detail GS crown


floating GS with nicely painted wording




the "triangle" hand, with brushed on the center and polish on both side surface, making easy to read in any light condition reflected from different angle of light

That watch is perfect. Like a major chord perfect. The ancient Greeks would have bowed down before it.

i'm late too but who cares.. phenomenal pics david and domo i think you may be right about the sbgw047.. at first i thought the omega seamaster 300 reissue might be worth liquidating some of the collection for but now i think this could be the way to go, just a magnificent watch.. the trick will be finding the right one at the right time with the right funds.......
