"You should love every watch thar you own, but you shouldn't own every watch that you love."

I think you just cured my watch addiction.

[jeffreyf]

I definitely agree with your sentiment about loving vs. owning. I have lost so much money buying watches I truly loved that just weren’t right for me. I guess it’s part of the watch collecting journey…but a hard lesson to learn.

I own an SBGA427 and couldn’t be happier. The power reserve is a useful complication and GS executes it beautifully. The spring drive is a must have for my watch collection.

This is the only GS I would add to my collection. Love the dial and the colour of it. With the constant sweep of the seconds hand I could probably look at it all day..

[jellybelly]

Really enjoying your reviews! Have a SBGA211 myself and I remember when the skyflake had just come out and you just couldn't get a hold of one. Love the spring drive movement - the clean sweep of time is just a marvel.

Your wisdom about loving and owning watches hit home. This is a stunning watch. I need a GS in my collection at some point and this will be at the top of the list. Great video!

If GS only could slim down the thickness of their cases and add micro adjustment to their metal bracelets (along with tapering)...

Got mine 3 months ago. It gets so many compliments because of the way the light changes the dial colour

[JamesBardolphCS]

I have and love this watch! So glad you did a video on it. It's amazing in the flesh!

[dereklee]

I love mine. Super pretty in natural light

[Supramandon]

I have this watch and get many compliments at my poker games.

First I want to say that I genuinely love your content and your channel. And in this video you said something that resonated and advice at all watch enthusiasts need to follow. Love the watches you buy but you don't have to buy all the watches you love. Great wisdom :-) genuinely appreciate what you do.

Love your channel. Keep up the good work! And thanks for doing a vid on the Skyflake. Watching this as I’m wearing mine!😍

[gordonmculloch]

The power reserve dial reminds me of a Japanese raked sand Zen Garden. Truly a work of art.

[SinnerAndSaint]

Loved this shorter little episode! It was on point while still having all the style and content of your more comprehensive videos. 04:16 is SO true! This is one of the most essential lessons you should learn in this hobby asap. Took me quite some while, too. And a lot more money on top of that...

[Spitt]

Great video again. I ordered this watch last week on Chrono24 and the very next video on my favourite YouTube watch channel is the Skyflake! Can't believe it. Super photography & close up shots. Can't wait!

[fifaboy]

If we could own every watch we love, this hobby wouldn't be much fun! Any chance you could do the SBGA413 next? The Skyflake is a beaut. Loved your White Birch video too!!! Thanks for the short but sweet video.

Amazing review. I went here after your sbgy007. I might head back…

[WrongTimeWatch]

I am seriously considering selling my SBGA211 and buying one of these to replace it. I like that it is a little smaller then my snowflake, also I like the blue dial, case shape, and that it is steel instead of Titanium.

The yourterrific trademark.
