More to the point, GS need to be a bit less complacent. Starting with a five-year guarantee and better bracelets. They have upped their prices and are very expensive watches.
Incidentally, if you value precision, a spring-drive is awesome. Wonderful precision . Lovely watches.
I feel GS need to offer a bit more to match their new prices. A different name doesn't do it.
