I haven't actually handled a GS yet - for fear that 'the want' would take over - but I'd expect the overall quality of the case, strap and finishing to be a step up from the already good Sarbs.
Hard to articulate the differences properly, but the 25 year old Sub I have just all round looks and feels better finished, and a higher quality item than the Baby Grand. Much of it is I think, down to things you dont really see in photos, like the weight, the play in the links, sharpness of the machined edges, and even things like the action of the winding mechanism and date change. Come to think of it - those are probably the things that help you tell the difference between the real and fake mechanical watches too.
I have zero need whatsoever of one btw - just a growing admiration for the things, and I suppose an appreciation of the engineering and quality ethos within the company. Can't cost justify a purchase on any sensible basis whatosever either, but hey, this is a big boys gear forum, who would I be trying to kid
