But Roman ones are correct for a GUB Chronometer :-)

GO shows a lot of originality
By: LK : July 3rd, 2020-10:22
Besides those you mentioned, I was always intrigued by the PanoMaticCounter, but there must be few people who have a need for the complication and a large enough wrist. The Senator Diary is also interesting to me, but a near miss -- I put this in the cate...
So true, regarding the Diary!

I love the complication, but the design is among the least compelling from GO to my eye. I wish they'd consider a re-design with a more elegant and proportional dial. Lord knows, they have the capacity to do it.
Here's what I found floating around on the 'net:

Thanks for posting these - we apparently have similar tastes.

I went for the Cosmopolite, but the Senator Chronometer (rose gold) and the PanoInverse XL ruthenium dial have long tempted me. Funny, meanwhile, that you speak of originality. I happen to agree, but I keenly remember the day when the hue and cry was that...

Definitely the „regular“ one.

With its Ship Chronometer design. One complaint I have with the Regulator version is that on a real Regulator dial the the seconds display is on the top end of the dial for a reason, but on most wrist watch Regulator dials it is on the bottom (also for a ...
Superb list.

The PanoRetroGraph is truly unique, but sadly doesn't get much recognition (and seems to be now largely forgotten). And the Senator Chronometer has lots of charm - not to mention its innovative reset and 'minute detent' functionality that is perfectly in ...
Definitely!

Panograph has a complex movement, but PanoRetroGraph makes it seem relatively simple in comparison. Based on pictures, the finishing also appears to be a little better overall in PanoRetroGraph (e.g. the way the bridges are cut to create a few sharper edg...
Interesting point about the dial color as well.
By: countzero : July 4th, 2020-01:37
I had only ever seen white/silver dial PanoRetroGraphs, but apparently the RG version was offered with a black dial as well. Don't know whether a black-dialed variant in WG or platinum exists.

My sentiment exactly.

PanoGraph is a great watch on its own with more functionality than most peers (fly-back chrono with the retrograde minute counter, plus the G.O. big date). But ah, the knowledge that PanoRetroGraph exists...
39.4mm case diameter, 19mm lug width

No wonder that it appears a bit chunky. The massive horological content needs to go somewhere. It could certainly have more elegant proportions if it had a 41 or 42mm case. It seems that in the 90ies G.O. still stuck to the „small is cool“ approach. But I...
I did not say that watches cannot be elegant.
By: stromer : July 5th, 2020-14:44
The Senator Chronometer e.g. has very nich proportions. But I would say many Glashütte watches follow a more sober approach to design. Some call it „Teutonic“which maybe goes a little too far. But there is an interesting thought that I once read somewhere...
The top 2 are my favorite here!

I am going back and forth for my next major watch purchase.. GO PanoMatic Lunar- Blue or Silver dial VC Overseas 4500V- Blue or silver dial TT DSA- Euro or US-- This is a for sure but have to wait I think to find the right one.. Full set.. Quite a price d...
All lovely options

Go is amazing in a sense it has close to 10 models that are very different from each other and look amazing. Honestly I cant say that of many other brands which are 1 or 2 models brands. GO rocks
