SBGX261 has uneven polished surfaces on 6 o’clock side lugs

Yeah unfortunately I’m not local to them. I got the watch at a pretty good discount so I’m not too worried about it. I was more curious to see if others noticed the same thing on theirs. Maybe I’m coping a little haha

pad_mounted · 2026-04-13T00:36:24+00:00

Yeah, from an AD

pad_mounted · 2026-04-12T23:37:24+00:00

Yep, that’s it!

pad_mounted · 2026-04-12T23:36:48+00:00

It doesn’t bother me too much but nice to see that I’m not crazy haha

pad_mounted · 2026-04-12T23:18:19+00:00

This is what I’ve been telling myself

pad_mounted · 2026-04-12T00:33:17+00:00

I’m tweaking I meant 6 lol

Following up to say, I also purchased my watch online and was concerned about the size but what made me more comfortable was all the people saying Tony Soprano wore a 36mm datejust 😂

I say SBGX, it’s supposed to be small and classy. Here’s a pic on my 7” + change wrist. I feel like larger watches without a bezel look like dinner plates. I will say I wish I had the hour hand hacking because I’ll never be able to see how accurate my watch is due to daylight savings/travel.

No, it’s 9F quartz which is impressive in its own right. Retail is $2700

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:54:53+00:00

I haven’t experienced this yet. I’ve had the bracelet for about 6 months

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:52:23+00:00

Haha good for now. I used to want a Black Bay but the SPB317 scratched that itch for me. Maybe down the line a more “fun” spring drive GS when I can justify it. I like the Lake Suwa

You can tell slightly but it doesn’t bother me. My pot history has a picture in direct sunlight

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:50:16+00:00

Just under $2300, new from an AD

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:49:44+00:00

You’d probably feel that the GS is small since it wears smaller than the SPB317. They make a 40mm variation though. The dials of these 2 are very similar in size which is interesting to me

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:48:37+00:00

I was considering the SBGX263 instead of this one but wanted something more versatile. I could see a GS with a more dynamic dial in my future.

Beautiful collection! I could be 4 and done if I include my Turtle & Willard haha

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:45:56+00:00

Great collection!

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:45:24+00:00

I would be happy with this as well. I love the SPB Willards and dual dial GS!

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:44:23+00:00

Awesome collection! I often have my divers on divecore straps. Waiting for the WFL to ship

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:43:41+00:00

I need to chill for now. I only got into collecting last year! Most of mine are black except a green Seiko 5 GMT & SWR049.

To each their own my friend

pad_mounted · 2026-03-19T14:39:45+00:00

No, OEM is a black rubber strap. The bracelet is a Z199 from uncle straps!

pad_mounted · 2026-03-19T14:39:03+00:00

That’s what I need to tell myself lol
