Metallic and bright is GS all over isn't it? I'm not really drawn to them as a whole, haven't tried on to be fair but have seen them in Harrods. The SBGW231 and the green dial GMT are the ones I like the look of most. Not a fan of the other alternative, can't remember the model but not keen on the blued second hand.
Feel that the SBGW231 really reflects their history, so well balanced, timeless. Haven't seen it in real life either though. That teal is looking really strong though! I know you've tried quite a few on but the cases always seem relatively wide and bulky to me?? -
Yeah saw that they put it on the back, pretty mad!
Quick video here if you want a better idea of the dial:

Taking of faded bezels...
Sites had a little update
Description is a little open to interpretation, definitely wouldn't class this dial as beautifully patinated.

But it's fading caused by UV light and only a type or range of UV light within the spectrum?? AD spotlights won't give off any UV light. I'm sure watch brands would be specific on that even if they did.

Fair enough just doesn't make sense to me as it's still a fairly new release, could it really have been sat in there that long? Also confused as when you pop in Harrods to see the limited edition, I'm guessing they keep the same watch in the case for display purposes if customers want to take a look to place an order and doesn't make sense to keep putting a new one in there for people to handle but the bezel is completely fine. That must have been sat in the display for a longgg time??
-
Surely this can't just be AD light?? Even with natural sunlight that would take years to fade to that level.

If you want to age the lume on the dial stick it in the oven. I think its for a longer time frame than you would think, this post will give you an idea if you scroll through to the others as well:

I also agree that oven cleaner would demolish the bezel rapidly.

Same for me, black dial 116000 or 126000 for a one watch collection but it's double the price and I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it regularly.
New Titanium edition if that's your thing. Think they should have stuck with silver rather than gold for the markers etc.
