I should think the GS would stand out for anyone. Good group. :thumbup:

Have to agree the grand is the standout within the group but the sarb 035 is a favourite of mine. Nice collection, thanks for sharing :thumbup:

Again thankyou for the very nice comments, I have owned lots of very nice watches, nothing very expensive but after some time I now know what I like, there are many watches I would love to own (most I have at some point) but my wrist/brain does not agree, various watches I love that are just too big/heavy the dreadnought voyager is one of the best watches I have owned but I couldnt live with its size/bulk, I also know my watches have to be pristine and any DLC coating, beadblasted finish had to be sold as the worry if a scratch was too great! (I have problems)

The Sarb/GS are so similar on the wrist (although close up are very different) I assumed I would move on the Sarb when I got the GS but their value is much too low in my opinion for what they are and it means I can wear it on occassions I would worry about the GS (occassional days at work/pub etc)

I love dive watches but I have purposely left a space for a dressier sub type watch, I am hoping my saving will go well enough to have a 116610lv on my wrist by my 40th birthday, the other divers are more 'everyday' starting with the SKX for work/beater, the 82 for slightly less harsh wear and the Smiths...well I love it so I doubt it will get abused

Finally the eco drive was a present years ago and is going nowhere although never worn
