hahahaha  GS fever is really heating up……..

there's a very interesting article on the Snowflake dial and its inspiration from the snow just outside the windows of the GS manufacture where they wanted to replicate the look of the snow landscape
google to look for it..

The snow flake dial with blue hands evoke a sense of purity that is truly enchanting. I know why you're still in love. Tyler, seems you have a penchant for titanium pieces.

Lovely snowflake dial Tyler!

Did GS came out with one version without the spring drive movement?

Peter I wrote to GS that they should combine the Snowflake dial with the hi-beat movt saying I'd buy it in a heartbeat, if it came out.
....my ideal pure watch. They at least replied thanking me for my suggestion. Let's see if it happens

I wrote a thread seeking opinions from GS owners as to which GS I should buy many months ago; the SBGA011 Snowflake or the SBGH001 Hi-beat as I liked the hi beat movt but preferred the Snowflake dial over the sunburst although the sunburst silver dial is also very finely made.
At the end of the day with different opinions given, I bought the hi-beat first knowing that one day I'll still get the Snowflake.

To-date Snowflake dial only comes in this SD model and in titanium. BTW there are 2 other mwf members who own this same model... but they are very low profile..
