I was on their website last week, window shopping and dreaming. I saw at the bottom to put in my info for a catalog. I figured it would be some usual paper catalog for bathroom reading. I wasn’t expecting this 😳 Free btw

Glashütte Original is a very special company with amazing customer service. Before they launched the green dialed SeaQ, I wrote them and told them that I was considering the blue dialed SeaQ but that I would wait a bit if something new was coming up (it was spring and “watch season” was starting). They wrote back after a few hours and said that something was indeed coming up that I would probably like and that it was only a few days away.

A few days later the green dialed version was released which is just awesome. So I saved up and bought that instead of the blue version. I have also had some really nice interactions with people from GO at AD events. And yes, I know that they want me to buy their watches but they do their business in a very pleasant way.

And no post without a photo. Here is a couple of the amazing green dial 😀 It’s my favourite watch. The pano date was a bit too big for me and also a fair bit more expensive

Beautiful watch. I do love that green dial

It is lovely. I have never seen a dial change colour like that. Sometimes it is bright green and other times dark green, dark blueish.

Glashutte really impresses me. That SeaQ looks so good.

About 15 years ago when I was too young to be able to afford luxury watches but was just getting interested in them, I reached out to a number of brands to try to get catalogues from them, just to see which ones would. From memory it was Omega, IWC, Breguet, Panerai I got one back from. Omega's was fine but the least noteworthy, Panerai sent a very big and quite good soft cover, Breguet's was a hardcover but pretty boring, but IWC's was easily the best. A 250 page hard cover book with a slip case, a debossed cover, and a built in bookmark ribbon. Inside was a hand signed card from a staff member at the Sydney AD. The book was dense with information about the technology and designs, much more than Omega's.

I couldn't afford an IWC, my budget back then was more Casio and Seiko, but if I had been on the fence that would have sealed the deal for me.
