Bought this today at the AD and it definitely screams high-end. This is so good and I can’t believe there isn’t a wait list for this thing

Amazing. Also why would anyone buy this not on bracelet?

AMG--great watch!!

The Panograph caliber 61-03 certainly holds its' own with the best of them! Compare to Lange Calibre L951.5 at a third of the price as well as and a
ingenious recording system!

Yep, the latest GO bracelet is great…I have it on my Panoreserve bought last year. All that’s needed to adjust it is a micro screwdriver and your mits, it has a nice micro adjustment, and when closed there are no overhanging edges between clasp and bracelet.

I would LOVE to have one one day. I've always thought very highly of GO. What's not to love? !

This one is high enough for me even if it doesn't meet some absolute criteria...I bought it used for $4.5k and decided to send it in for service since it had no history and I always like to get the cooties out of a used piece.

Added last month, and it's since been the most accurate mechanical watch I've ever owned! 🥰 Gained less than 30 seconds, over my first ~35 days of ownership.



Alongside its not too distant relative from the extended Saxon watchmaking family (219.032):

Both of these are absolutely stunning and it’s a shame GO doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. For me the blue with the applied indices just edges the black with painted and it’s top of my list.

Their craftsmanship is top notch but their design is simply not. It is a very German phenomenon - they certainly can do engineering, but need designers from abroad to wrap it up, just like Italians but vice versa...

"Quadratisch, praktisch, gut" - this is exactly a German thing. No offence to anyone proud of their Sinn's or GO's, - all of them are good watches, but not particularly exciting ones. Vintage Glashütte are excellent though...

All above is just my personal opinion, let's agree to disagree. And...by the way (before you rant) - I am from Germany. 😉

Cheers from sunny Heidelberg!

Exciting? Maybe. But design-wise quite a catastrophe… 🤔

The only reason I don’t pull the trigger right now on that blue dial is the fact that it’s a 10 year model and logically, subject to a refresh…
Oh man, can you imagine if they kept it pretty similar but added, say, Roman letters and an improved power reserve?

Been looking with lustful eyes at these for years and finally succumbed. Absolutely gorgeous - imo you;d have to spend a chunk more cash on another brand to get anywhere close to this level of finishing. My Blancpain came close on case and dial, but not movement.

I can’t believe how nice that looks, I’ve never really paid attention to the brand but that model looks very nice indeed

What a stunner, this really reminds of the Jaeger LeCoultre Hometime, the more I look at these watches the more I can see the appeal.
