Glashutte launch today
Looks like a limited edition chrono. Sunray grey, blue accents, and faux patina lume. Glashutte is usually great with design, so odds are it'll look great.

Let’s hope the whole is as good as the partial photos they’ve released so far.

My turn off with GO is how poorly they hold their value compared to some other makers.
Even AD can't give them away at 35% off.

Re: Glashutte launch today
looks like the hour counter is at 12, wonder what they will have at 6?

If you can point me in the direction of a white dial, pink or rose gold cased Panoreserve @ 35% off, I'd much appreciate it.

Re: Glashutte launch today
There's something about many of the GO watches in their case lines - 'the austere German sensibilities', very hard to describe...which other brands like JLC, Blancpain, etc don't struggle with. At least that's my opinion.
They are undisputed masters when it comes to doing everything in-house and they do a great job with finishing and engineering, etc.
It's the intangible side - the charm, the allure, the magic of their timepieces which they need to work on.

It kinda just looks like a slightly different version of the Senator Chronograph with the horrible blue lume.

Re: Glashutte launch today
Totally agree. Too thick and in your face for a genuine dress watch. Very pretty, just a bit too much.Denizen wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2018 9:16 amThere's something about many of the GO watches in their case lines - 'the austere German sensibilities', very hard to describe...which other brands like JLC, Blancpain, etc don't struggle with.

Re: Glashutte launch today
It depends on the model. The Senator Sixties is pretty slim and definitely has charm and allure IMHO.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2018 10:22 amToo thick and in your face for a genuine dress watch.Denizen wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2018 9:16 amThere's something about many of the GO watches in their case lines - 'the austere German sensibilities', very hard to describe...which other brands like JLC, Blancpain, etc don't struggle with.

Re: Glashutte launch today
You're right. I like the big date models, which are pretty beefy.
To be fair a lot of the ALS models are exactly the same. It's pretty clearly a German thing.

Re: Glashutte launch today
True, you pay about a 3mm penalty in thickness with the big date. The Senator Sixties big date is about 12mm thick, the no-date model is about 9mm.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2018 10:32 amYou're right. I like the big date models, which are pretty beefy.

What's a GO service like? I'm wondering about time and cost.

Re: Glashutte launch today
Obviously, being able to design a watch that doesn't look terrible is harder than one would imagine.
