My next watch

Hi all,

I am considering my next watch and I am thinking seriously about a GO, specifically a perpetual calendar (either Senator or Karree).  So, I am seeking some advice and answers if anyone can help.  I have been a devoted JLC fan for a while, so my first question is how GO compares to JLC as a "true manufacture".  Does GO manufacture thier watches, movements and all,  in the same sense that JLC does, from the ground up? 

I am also pondering buying a pre-owned GO.  But I have never purchased anything but new before, so I have no idea how to go about this and what the potential disadvantages are other than getting a fake or bad watch.  If you buy a pre-owned, can you still reigeter the watch with a manufacturer such as GO? Is this important?  Will the manuafacturer still service and repair a watch that was bought on the secondary market?.  Where are the best places (generally, not looking for specific vendors here) to look for pre-owned?  Any adivce on this would be helpful.

Finally, how does the GO perpetual compare to other brands?  Esthtically the GO appeals to me more so than almost any other one I have seen  -- it is beautiful, reads really well and is uncluttered.  GO claims that it is "perpetual" (note their use of quotation marks) until 2100.  Is that pretty standard for perpetuals? 

Again, any thoughts or advice woud be welcome. 

Thanks,
