After an all too brief meeting with a fellow TZer yesterday I picked up a Glashutte Original Seventies Panorama Date. I have wanted one of these since they were first announced at Basel in 2011 IIRC. There have been some difficulties in getting hold of one:
Price, these are around the £8K mark on a bracelet (which is the only way to go) meaning a grey market cost of £6K+.
Limited availability through the AD network plus colour choices mean making a decision is hard to make.
Forum reports of it wearing big.
Uncertainty on my preferred colour, is it blue, is it purple, is it lilac?
I eventually tried one on around a year ago whilst in central London and decided the size was fine.
I missed out on Kirk's grey dialled model.
I then missed out on Daveyw's blue dialled model.
I eventually snapped up Daveyw's watch from Rodder.
I really am smitten with it, it is a little bit purple, a little bit lilac and a little bit blue. It's a slim watch at only 11mm and I love the integrated bracelet design. The bracelet really is top notch, seamlessly smooth as it tappers, over-engineered in its gapless links and very comfortable with the wonderful clasp mechanism which can be adjusted whilst without takin the watch off.
So, SOTC. This is the most watches I have owned at once and truth be known I couldn't really afford to buy the GO but they are not common watches so I grabbed it whilst I could, now some rationisatoon is required soon, certainly before a Speedy Tuesday turns up in a few months time.
I have included some pictures of forum favourites with the 70s to give an idea of size.

Beautiful, the Glashutte looks so classy. Hefty in size too, dress but not small. I like it

I'm glad it stayed in the 'club' it's a great watch- wear it well
You lucky lucky man. What a fantastic collection you have there.
Your GO, in particular, is superb and as you're well aware, seldom seen pre-owned at the right money. I looked back on the sellers page last week about 30 times.
looks like you have all bases covered, a great collection
may I ask which Panerai model that is?
The GO is magnificent, a watch I've been keeping an eye out for myself. In fact we share very similar tastes as many of mine are the same as yours! The collection is a whole is really pleasing. I can't imagine where you start to rationalise. The only thing I can suggest is you let that Sinn go (to me!).
It is a 210, a base Radiomir that sadly is not worn very often, I prefer bracelets most of the time.Originally Posted by Tuna1138
I want that Copper dial Sinn!! Great diverse collection.
The GO bracelets, engineered beauties. Cracking collection
now that is a grail collection
lovely simply lovely
goes off to empty wallet out.........................
Nice collection ... a few of yours I have myself as well ... and I'm most pleased to also own the GO Seventies - I love it.
GO Bracelet is probably the best I own, and the date turn over is pretty smooth in action as well.
Congratulations!
I'm wondering about the GO Strap + deployant to give mine a change of look ...
i would like to try a strap but shudder to think how much the strap and deployant combo would be.Nice collection ... a few of yours I have myself as well ... and I'm most pleased to also own the GO Seventies - I love it.

Better than on strap and wanting to buy the bracelet I imagine! I'd love to buy the bracelet for my panomatic XL, however the price is way to prohibitive.
I'm missing it already!!! One of my favourite watches.
However, despite being very different I love its replacement!
Great meeting you and hope you got back in time.

Love the gold indices on the Seiko, very cool.
Lovely GO. I would probably like it more on the strap.
Nice collection as well.
Now that is a collection :thumbsup
That is one classy looking watch :-)
That GO is a thing of beauty. Very nice collection.
Thanks for posting and nice collection.
I think your Speedy on a brown strap looks really nice, love to wear mine like that too from time to time. The Tintin is nice too!
