I took a stab at inspecting my SBGH263G

This watch retails in the $6k range, I believe...but can certainly be had for less. I think the hands look pretty good on this one!

For the sub-$10k category.....Quite a big difference in hand finishing between sbgw231 vs sbgy003 ...

Big difference indeed!

Although both are "sub-$10k" there is a considerable difference in price. Still, disappointing. Kent
Indeed!

I regard photos like yours as a public service.
Thanks!

Their PT model has a huge premium
A surprising difference

Despite wide price differences in GS watches, I would expect the finishing to be more similar. Especially disappointing since I'm considering adding the SBGW231, though I doubt this roughness would be visible to the nake eye.
Yes :)

I think there is some inconsistency

Like their quartz are cheaper and have better finished hands. Maybe due to different manufacturers for hands.
It’s fine for a 4K watch

Just showing the big difference when the price gap is not that much
Oh wow

GS is not the only one

Sorry for naming Longines in a GS forum part. mj23 have a good point. I own two Longines watches from the late 2016 - 2021, and there is a difference in finishing. Remarkable is that brand expectation is no guarantee all watches will have the same high le...
Glad you checked yours. :)

The thing is depends on the types of Gs hands, they are finished differently which to me is odd and inconsistent

Cool shot

For this type of hands, the finishing is better. The sbgw231 hands in my photos are different.
