Glashütte Original

thanks........and re the XL

 

Thanks all.

BTW this isn't the 42" XL but the new larger standard size just above 40"

I agonised over this vs the old XL .........given my leaning towards sporty watches the old XL was my immediate choice but slowly the newer model won me over. I think it will stand the test of time better.

Here's a pic posted by Axelzon a while back comparing the two (XL on the right). In the end the thinner bezel on the newer one makes up for the dial size.

Had a new watch arrive yesterday so thought I'd post a bit on it - something German and something a bit more traditional. I've finally found something a little dressy that I can tolerate The model is the Glashutte Original Panomatic Lunar and it nicely co...

I wrote that in paragraph format but it somehow got lost. And those last couple of photos by Axelzon were meant to be linked to rather than used in the post without reference. Brent

Congrats for getting this!

Welcome to the family of GO! This PMLXL is discontinued and the discount you got was very good as well. Worth to keep it for a life time!

There is huge confusion out there even amongst dealers re these two models. I would say 60-70% of dealers have the new 40' down with the ref number of the old XL. The dealer I bought off did and my warranty card even has the old XL ref on it LOL.

Superb choice

I think you did the right thing with the new version, I prefer the newer versions, mainly due to the time dial... the older versions seems more cluttered, whereas the new one you bought oozes class. And the thinner bezel suits it better imho. Beautiful ti... 

Almost all of the new models have the uninterrupted scale on the main dial...

...that is the easiest way to differentiate them. One exception is the new Panoinverse XL, which can be differentiated by the thinner bezel, albeit not easily.

Congrats Brent for this great watch!

I really like its slate dial.. this watch has a great value for money. A wise choice, an excellent watch! Fx

Your observations confirm . . .

. . . my perceptions of the qualities people appreciate most about Glashütte Original. Sensible, versatile, and unpretentious - all hallmarks of G O design. Congratulations, Brent, and welcome to the club. I hope you can join us this Friday on our Wrist S... 

Congrats Brent!

I've joined the GO club recently as well, and glad you picked up a Panomatic Lunar. Great value IMO! Cheers, Anthony

Hi Brent Congrats on this beautiful GO! This is robin and we "met" on the Hour Lounge. I still remember your comment when I posted my VC Patrimony, that you appreciate the sporty designs more :) This GO is a very well balanced mix of both classic and spor...
