Nice, we have the same model 😃

I bought it from Higuchi in 2005

time flies, 20 years already 

I rarely wear it lately, as I prefer low profile and slim watches now

I find it thick and hefty, too bling as it sparkles under lights

I also bought this GS clasp

wanted to use it on the GS GMT to shed some weight

the fit and finish is impressive

Will look good on a leather strap, I am thinking of adding a red rubber strap to go along with the red gmt hand

GS has always been about their unhyped craftsmanship. View them under a scope and you can admire the level of detailed finishing they go down to.

you said red?

I used to own a few Восток (Vostok) when I was a teenager (because that's what I can afford)

bought a few recently for nostalgia sake

they are ROUGH

I almost wanted to use metal file and sand paper to smooth out the case edges 😁

it came with bracelet and it hurt my wrist, that is why you see nylon straps here

me too, had a few, boktok, vostok, poljot.  they are rough inside too.  and they dont last even though i was already careful with the winding.

But they looked really good and cool.  truly my first foray into mechanical watches
