In the words of the Shark.. 'GO's are significantly underpriced watches' They are absolutely fantastic pieces and I really enjoy wearing mine also. Anyone in the market for a new watch should seriously consider GO as an option. This watch happens to be out of my league but it's crazy crazy hot!!

Incredible watch mate - such an impressive piece.

What's the resale like on this type of watch? I havent seen one for sale as yet seeing as its so new.

Great to hear you got such a great discount too A.

Thanks Tim. Cant tell you guys how stocked I am about this watch, it is unbelievable!!! Those pictures do not do the watch justice at all, neither does this video, but I thought it would provide more of a real live perspective of the watch and its exceptional packaging. the leather case, pouch, and secret compartment are awesome!

For anyone considering a higher end watch, please look into this model! Just take a look at the specs:

44.5MM case

Totally in house, heavely decorated, 72 jewel, 514 part, totally unique one of a kind movement

One of a kind complication

Flyback Chrono

Big Date

Exceptional finishing

Limited production and distribution

under 20 K

Need I go on? :lol:

Here is the Video I promised:

Nice taste in watches. Even better in music!!

Altair, good purchase, great photographs, but they lied to You in Dubai:

I have received my first counter (Number 70) on Dezember 2nd. The watch is available in more than 6 cities worldwide, as You cannot sell about 100 watches (which have been built so far according to my information) in only 6 cities.

You cannot trust everything, any dealer tells You...

Thanks for the fantastic photos and video! I always love to read your reviews, although they usually fill me with lust and envy. :drool:

Does GO put AR coating on the outside of their crystals? (It is strange the brands that do and the brands that don't). I noticed some reflections in the video, but I imagine you also had a lot of bright lights on.

Dont know why they would lie, perhaps they where misinformed? In any case the GO website also claims limited distribution, maybe that was the plan for the first year only. Thanks for the kind words.

Glad you enjoyed it Mo, yes Glashutte does have double AR, and it is fantastic! In fact the best I have seen. No blue tint and exceptional clarity, though I had some high beams on when I did that video, I find you can get better details that way.

Great, thanks! I know some people don't like it, but I greatly prefer the double AR. It has been over a year since I have seen a GO in person, and I couldn't remember. My wife insists on going to remote tropical paradises for our vacations and not bustling cities with lots of watch dealers. :roll:

Thats a great video there Altair. The different depths of the dial and the floating ring are just superb.

Also, I wasn't able to pick out the rectangular case watch you are wearing. Is that your Reverso on a Breitling strap?

Yup thats my Reverso, I wanted to see how it looked on a brown strap, but the Breitling one is a bit too thick for it, its now back on the Jaeger deployant and croco strap.
