Mine is scary accurate. I did have to demagnetize and regulate a friend's which was a pain in the ass.

That is absolutely beautiful! Can you share where you bought it from and for how much? I've had my eye on the white dial 115 as one of my grails, might pull the trigger one of these days if the price is right. I've been toying with the idea of getting a SBBN031 tuna, but just can't see myself wearing a $1K tool diver, the GS quartz diver just rings all my bells.
Everything that needs to be said about the watch has already been said on WUS and other watch forums, you can't go wrong with it and it's a watch forum favourite for good reason. Simply put, it's an excellent quality dive watch with classic looks. That said, from a pure functionality standpoint I much prefer the monster (tool watch) and sumo (dressy diver) for looks, better fit (YMMV), better lume, excellent stock bracelets, and drilled lugs for easy strap changes.

I'm surprised you are so negative about Hodinkee - I have found them to be a very well written fine wristwatch blog, with especially good coverage of vintage watches.mebiuspower wrote: ↑Newsflash: Websites get sponsored by companies to review products.

I'm not being negative, that's just how the industry works. Watch review sites need sponsors to survive.GenerationE wrote: ↑I'm surprised you are so negative about Hodinkee - I have found them to be a very well written fine wristwatch blog, with especially good coverage of vintage watches.

Well now that they are also sellers of vintage watches, I will view their reviews of certain models with even more skepticism. How long before they hype a watch, get the Hodinkee bump in the market, then turn around and sell some of the same model...mebiuspower wrote: ↑I'm not being negative, that's just how the industry works.

Congrats! I have one too, it is by far my favorite watch in the collection. The build quality is amazing and for the price, IMO not many brands compete. I love the glide lock clasp too, it's very comfortable during summer months when your wrists can swell.
