In spite of being a sucker for green dials, this SBGJ013 ( or now SBGJ213 ) with the deep grey translucent tuxedo dial, gold GMT hand and accents, and titanium case, is still my favourite GS GMT. The titanium case and bracelet is without a doubt the most beautifully finished titanium watch I have ever seen. I think they still have one of these at the local AD here in Vancouver, and it's around 10 grand in CAD. But still worth it. As much as I hate to admit, i would have a hard time choosing between this and the Rolex GMT II, although I think the Rolex would win in the end.

Wow, that is stunning on so many levels - dial texture, dial color combinations, gorgeous Ti case/bracelet, just amazing. Just not sure the premium over the GMT II is worth it for me. That said, might have to put in a search on watchrecon to see what they go for second hand.

EDIT: Don’t know the seller but here’s one at $4900 USD!
