I'm having a great start in 2013!
Unbelievably, I found this piece in the local community yesterday and now this worthy watch earns a slot in my collection. I’ve been contacting the ADs in S.E Asia and Japan past 2 weeks and the watch was sold out! I tracked one piece down but was reluctant to pay the 7% local custom tax. Pure luck! And, I was ecstatic when the owner told me that it’s a 3 months old safequeen – 100% pristine unworn condition! At 50% off the retail price, this is an absolute bargain. He only put it on his wrist at the Singapore boutique and that’s it (he didn’t even size the bracelet).
Here’s the GS Spring Drive GMT limited with green sunburst dial to 150 pieces worldwide - SBGE021. An addition to my current collection:

Here are the photos:
Now 2 problems:
1. What’s the next watch to occupy the last slot in my watch box? I know i’m going to blow some serious money away on this last watch before I call it quits for this hobby.
2. Wife doesn’t know yet. This is going to be interesting!
Cheers and thanks for looking
