Som, that GS 9S 20th anniversary textured/ mosaic dial is ridiculously awesome (can I combine those 2 words) ....the tin plate polish case must look really nice too.
Honestly man, it just comes together in a lovely wearable package. Every element complements the next. One of my favorite GS up next to the SBGA011/211 and Sbgw253
I get the same feeling when I wear a pocket watch- Howard or otherwise. I have a Keystone Howard series 11, a series 9, 2 series 5s, and an Edward Howard series 7, hunter.
I jump on the chance to buy a clean Howard when I saw the one I now own for sale last year. You just don't see clean examples put up by trusted sellers very often.
Hamilton Cross Country. 1950's era minimal worldtimer - the dial rotates with the hour hand so it always shows the US continental time zones and GMT. When you travel, leave the watch on home time and read local time from one of the other markers. Needs a watchmaker to change the home time zone.
