I don't know why people complain about the Prospex logo. The 5 logo is much worse.

Why did they put that stupid 5 on the dial?

Could they have used a smaller crown?

I don't mind the 5 logo but the 5 hanging on the second hand is a little too much

I agree. It's easily the worst part of any GO.

It's only on the LE ones, the regular ones have a standard second hand (and they look 1000 times better also)
Whew...that 5 logo second hand, ups the cheez factor way too much. Glad it isn't on the black dial that I'll be getting. Image

Really like the blue version as well. I'd swap out the date wheel thought for white on black.

I think Art and I was talking about these a while back but neither one of us took the plunge.
