I think this looks spectacular! Very retro, simple, and a new direction at the same time! Love the deceptively simple look, and that bracelet looks unreal! The technical specs seem very impressive! http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t= ... 0931&rid=0 |

I love GO but this one is not for me. The sunburst detail on the dial is beautiful, and I am sure the bracelet is very well made, but the shape of the case just turns me off of this one. That's ok though 'cause I pretty much love the rest of their line up. |

This is one of those pieces that doesn't fit my normal tastes at all, but for some reason it just calls out to me. |

Oh my...not a fan AT ALL. It looks like one of those Seikos from the 70/80's. |

It does look like a cheaper watch, not something on par with the rest of GO's lineup but I have a feeling that this thing is much more impressive in person. All in all I'm not a fan but I can see the appeal. |

Looks nice, like all GO's, but not a fan of the retro styling. |

It is a unique looking piece, and I am sure not for everyone. Personally I find its design a breath of fresh air, and think it would add variety to my collection. Though I will not be buying this particular piece, as if theor lodel release strategy is any indicator, they will eventually release a few more complicated pieces. Though I hope they dont do the chrono thing, I think an annual calendar, or adding a moonphase would really top the watch off. |

I'll break from the pack and say I really like the design. It would look great on a croc strap IMO but, it appears to use an integrated bracelet. Also, there is that pesky MSRP of $11k. |

11K is much higher than I expected for this watch, I mean based on the Sixties chrono this should cost much less considering that it has no complication other than the date. I thought that it would cost around 5-6K USD street, but perhaps the movement is a much higher decorated affair than what the Sixties has (fairly basic by Glashutte standards) We will see I am sure more pics from Glashutte soon. Are you sure about the retail? |

Are you sure about the retail? 11k is flat out rip-off by almost any standards; even more so considering their other offerings at that price point. |

which is why I am finding that price hard to swallow, I did some research and the Sixties Panorama date, which has the same exact movement, retails at 8K, a fair price. Since this has a bracelet, and what seems like more involved finishing and treatment on the case and dial, add what? 1.5K? At most? I cant see this watch retailing for more than 9.5K at the very most, and then it will be discounted like all their other models, so I would expect around 6K street, 7 at most. |

Not sure where I stand with this one. It looks like a nice piece but I'd need to see it on the wrist to decide if that shape works for me. I agree on the high price for the 'lack' of complications. |
