A reasonable response as always Art but,
in the end would you say that the script on the various watch cases is simply filling space or desirable as is for that purpose? In other words assuming it is desirable to fill that space is this the way you would yourself choose to do so? To my mind the movement speaks for itself and nothing more need be said but that speaks to my own personal tastes. I like simplicity and the restrained yet bold aesthetic GO tends toward certainly goes some distance to explain my fondness for this brand above others. Were it me making this decision as a responsible manager for the company and I had to try and please as many as possible while staying within the brand vision I would probably compromise on something like the serial number on one side balanced by the date of manufacture on the other. Again this is just my own opinion which is of course worth exactly what you payed for it.
