This must be some mysterious time piece stash away somewhere till the day of reckoning!
Quickly, unwrap the parcel and show the world what marvelous time pieces you have kept under wraps all these years.

As I was slowly unpacking it







Layer upon layer of bubble sheets



and another layer of protection



and finally



And here we are folks



Still wrapped in plastics



Cream texture dial





With a clear case back





Presenting the GS SBGR 025



And thank you for your time

Fantastic find. Wish I can find one (long forgotten) hidden in the dark corner in one of my rooms. :thumbsup:

I am almost a recovered watchaholic, but last checked shows only 70% recovered. How?

The case size is 37.8mm. small by today standard but fit nicely as a dress watch. i also find the bit smaller than other GS and it is not a screw in crown.

Love the textured dial. Can't wait to see it in person. So how much is the declared value? Did the customs slap a tax on it?

Still waiting for Dennis to fish out his long forgotten watch.
