    That really is stunning.
    I've never worked on this calibre.
    Would love to dismantle one though.

    The close up shots of the hand-finished dial really show the texture. A very nice watch indeed. What sort of price would this be?

    This is wonderful.

    I fear that GO may well very soon be the first manufacturer from whom I will buy a second watch.

    I appreciate the quality of GO watches, but generally struggle aesthetically with the regular pano models with the small time dial. This, however, is stunning.

    For whoever asked, list on this is around $56k.

    A matter purely of taste (on which, luckily, we are all different) -- this

    is by far my favourite of my small collection.

    I truly lust after another GO, but can't afford $56k, so it will probably be a Senator Excellence.

    Lovely. Lovely. Lovely. Is that a blue or black dial? Looks marvellously iridescent.

    Stunning watch - such a well thought together package. Not normally a fan of roman numerals, but it works so well here.

    I agree it's purely my taste. Everything about your watch is finished beautifully with great attention to detail. I also love that GO make watches with a unique style as it's a really refreshing look at watch making. It's only the OCD bit of my brain that prefers something more symmetrical that I struggle with, which says more about me than your lovely watch!

    The combination of quality finishing with a more traditional but nonetheless striking design is why Jocke's watch is so appealing to my eye.

    It appeals to mine too

    -- very much in fact --

    but I can't bring myself to spend that much on a watch.

    That's why it will probably have to be a Senator Excellence next -- but I'm torn between the traditional look with date



    and the "pilot" look



    (available only without date -- and therefore OCD friendly).


    What does the team think?

    Love both. Sorry

    I have a Nomos Ludwig which I adore. I also love the panoramic date on the senator excellence and this is very much a signature of GO. These two things combined make me lean slightly towards the senator excellence.

    That said I don't have a pilots watch and I really like that one too. Probably would come down to fit if I had the bucks. On the one hand the senator excellence with its off centre date is more similar to your other GO whilst at the same time it is more recognisable as a GO.

    Evolution or Revolution ?
