It's probably going to be too thick and much, much too expensive. Not sure what the UK price is going to be exactly but it's likely to be getting on for seven grand, which is absurd for the "old" hibeat movement. Edit: £6960.
The 37mm SBGR253 automatic is still on sale in the UK for £3500 (that's less than the new quartz snowflake, btw):

Ok, the bracelet's probably a bit nicer on the new ones but why is it double the price? GS price creep is way out of control now.
