·I think most consider them high end; designs are similar to Lange. I really like their unusual pano series fly-back chronographs

·i guess this begs the question: when is a watch considered high end?
is it the brand/marque? maybe why Seiko distinguished betweem its Credor and Grand Seiko lines and the others (Prospex, Presage, Seiko 5, etc).
is it the price? what is the cut off? USD20K retail? so one brand can offer a low end, a mid end and a high end price?
is it the finishing? inside and out? the materials used?
is it a combination?

·Oh man! Green is my color! I have debated a GO Pano on and off for years but this may make me pull the trigger, but I love the PanoMaticLunar with the white dial. TOUGH choice!!!
I have seen this one during a window shopping wander, it is cool. The price tag was around USD 8.5K or 9K, if I am not mistaken.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI think most consider them high end; designs are better than Lange. I really like their unusual pano series fly-back chronographs
FIFY...just my opinion obviously. GO has the best large date there is, and ALS's version is horrible in comparison.
Even better than the PanoGraph, is the PanoRetroGraph, if you can find one...

·I would agree (and think so would many others) that the GO big date execution is one of the best. The date wheel interfaces are so precise that the typical bar between the numbers is eliminated and from an on the wrist perspective no separation is obvious.
WRT the high end determination, the "house" certainly should get so consideration but the quality of the movement's finishing and complication level should also weight heavily as far as I'm concerned. I have a tough time considering a quartz driven Aquanaut (5064) high horology even though it's manufactured by Patek.

·And I would add as far a platinum complications go-not a ridiculous price tag as a preowned model

·Here's one of the best articles I've found regarding the finishing of GO movements (and in particular the Panograph 61)
Many thanks to tempocalypse from IWL Central who did this outstanding analysis

Once again I vote "High End"

·A local AD of mine sells GS, H Moser and Glashutte Original. Glashutte fits in next to those brands, which I'd confidently call "high end" (whatever that means). However, the design language has just never clicked with me.

GO not on the list 😀 But it’s a 2018 list. Maybe needs to get updated.

What does "high end" even mean? Personally I couldn't care less how some website or consumers of new watches rank various watch brands. What is the "hobby" or "enthusiast" part of boutiques, credit cards and online articles telling one what is considered desirable? If I like it and buy it then I'm perfectly comfortable with it.

·I definitely like the SeaQ. If I didn't already own the BB58, it would be a consideration...
