    Quite like those but this pastel blue dial trend needs to die, been done to death over the last year.

    Love the orange/salmon/pink one. Presumably none of the usual discounts can be had if this is a limited edition?

    I may be in the minority, but those are horrible. Too gauche for me.

    No I don't like them either, and I'm a huge fan of the GO Seventies. These colours just don't work with the watch for me.

    Agreed. Even though I actually really like the colours, it feels so 'Oh they did it so let's do it too ' rather than it being a genuine product.

    But I really like the blue.

    maybe less complications

    coloured dials seem to work best with less complications to mess up the colour effect. Moser nails it in my opinion as does the coloured dials of the Rolex op

    Was quite interested for the novelty value; then I saw the price!

    Love the GO 70s, and these are two of my favourite colours of all time, so include me in the minority with a

    I don’t like them one bit. The colours and clothered dail are terrible.

    Too bad. The old Seventies series are beautiful.

    Not a fan of the new dials, for which you have to pay slightly more for.
    Much prefer the older colours, especially the blue one

    I very much like the orange on rubber - but not at £12,000...

    The only downside for me is that they're chronographs.
    If they ever brought them out as 3 handers then Id be queuing for the orange.

    Edited to add - nothing is too gauche for me really

    agreed.

    At first glance I thought “that’s different” and quite liked them. The more I look I think kitchen appliances and after seeing the price I’m out!

    They look not too bad but I'm not a fan of the bracelet/strap to case design. It certainly limits strap options if the buyer buys that option. Standard, thinner lugs, standard spring bars and a lug width of say 22mm and I feel it would be a nicer watch.
