White Birch fans?
Have to say that I was immediately sold on it when it came out and while I needed to wait a bit to get to where mine was waiting for me it’s been a pleasure ever since.
Some have had issues with the accuracy but mine has been perfect in that respect. The dial gets most attention, being the most ‘in your face’ feature but the new case design wears much better IMHO and I like the ‘tiger stripe’ lug finishing (alternate brushed and polished facets). The movement is also a notch up in terms of finishing as far as the unaided eye can see 😉
The 22mm lugs make for a somewhat different strap balance but I think it really becomes the watch.
Any other fans?

Looks great!
How's legibility? I have really been thinking about the slgw003 releases this year...
For me it’s excellent - there is always enough contrast between hands and dial 😊👍🏻
Quite interesting releases coming up indeed 🤞🏻
That is a stunning combo
Great pairing of gray and blue tones. I saw the same model in a showcase recently and I was quite taken by the texture of the dial, a real masterpiece!
A bit shoutier than the Snowflake ❄️
But definitely has a personality all of its own 😊👍🏻
Definitely like what came out here!
Not a fan of the countless limited editions nowadays (a tad too Swiss in its inflationary approach in the meantime) but most are well done IMHO 😊👍🏻
Things somehow never stay as they should be, eh? 😁
Maybe it’s a sign of ageing 😂🤷🏻♂️
Thanks so much!
Been a trusty NATO for quite some years and pairs well with so many watches 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Sometimes one is just lucky. And needs to wait for a minute or so 😁
Thanks a lot for both!
The felicitations and the appreciation of the combo. Striking the dial certainly is 😊👍🏻
It’s looking very good on that nato.
It seems to me that with the new Evo9 case, maybe due to lug height, natos look better then straps generally as with straps there seems to be a huge difference between the height of the strap to the height of the case ratio, as natos sit higher passing ab...
Wonderful shot as a contrast 👌🏻👍🏻
With the opposing dial 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You may be right on the NATO and Evo9, not so natural on other GSs I have 😊👍🏻
Definitely a fan : )
Available now in a variety of colored dials, but I still favor the original silver. Looks great with your strap. It's also nice to hear that yours is running w/in manufacturer's specs. From what I've heard from several ADs and other collectors, yours mayb...
I have also heard of several that have sent their in…
For servicing for that very reason. Hopefully that will get sorted with more experience with the movement 🤞🏻
