Danke, gentlemen . . .
. . . your observations and perspectives are most appreciated.
Regarding the revision to the PanoInverse XL, the only one that I've identified so far is the brushing applied to the side of the case, in contrast to the original version . . .
. . . which is fully polished. In this case (pun intended!), my nod goes to the new version.
Indeed, as Nicolas mused, the revisions are on the whole strikingly constructive. I'm very much a traditionalist, but find myself preferring the latest versions of the Pano series, and to a lesser extent, the Senator perpetuals as well. The changes to the Pano are numerous but relatively subtle, while those to the new Senators are more immediately obvious; I can see where an owner of a current PanoMatic Lunar would find little reason to change, but a Senator perpetual owner might well be driven to exchange the one for the other.
Glad that both of you were able to absorb the novelties this year!
Warmest regards,

Baselworld 2012 - the official PuristSPro report: Glashütte Original
PanoMatic Lunar, PanoReserve, PanoGraph, Panoinverse XL, Senator Perpetual Calendar, Senator Observer and Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon. Looking at the novelties names, one could think there is only one novelty in 2012. Take care, there is more to see and...
Great write up, guys!
The PLM is one of my favourite, I clearly see, thanks to your post, the differences between the former and the present model. I love the way they re designed the dials, and, for once, I think I prefer the newer. Same for the PanoGraph, which is a chrono I...
Thanks a lot for the report Oliver & Magnus
It was an excellent year for GO: nothing really surprising but very well made and refined evolutions. I will do my report later. Fx
Ah, the moment of truth . . .
. . . an "on-the-wrist" photo does so much for the imagination ;-) . . . Thanks, FX! More intrigued than ever, Art
Thank you so much for the report!
The black dialed Senator PC is so in my radar. Have a few impulsive moment to take plunge on its previous limited platinum version so this steel PC is a new from heaven for me. Joseph
Great report fellows. The Senator Perpetual Calendar
in SS really has my attention in the black face. The "refinement" that Oliver describes is certainly well thought out and has an artistic flair when viewed in detail. I am impressed by the result and this very fine article. Many thanks, Tim
Still working on that one on a few fronts. Will of course
let you know first. ;0) Best to all, Tim
Great detailed rerpot, both of you!
Thank you very much for the time and effort you guys put in to this report. Much appreciated. Interesting offerings from GO as usual, but again, as usual, I just wish the designer had thought about those with smaller wrists...... Very, very close to my li...

That is the only thing I would change on my Senator Chronometer.
I am a HUGE fan of brushing the caseband while leaving polished the bezel and caseback. So much so that I inquired about the 13 piece LE executed in platinum and sold with the marine chronometer, as it did have a brushed side. Alas, it was much more cost ...
Michael "brushing the caseband while leaving polished the bezel and caseback"
Some time ago I spoke to the person who was in charge of designing the Senator Chronometer. We both agree with you, but the final committee didn´t. My AD knows me well and offered me "his" Senator Chronometer Limited Edition, but unfortunately my pig...
Thanks for your great report...
...I have to check my pix from Baselworld. If I'm right I have a picture with old and new PanoGraph side by side. I will post it later. stere
Thank you very much
Clearly a lot of time and effort has gone into this report. This is very much appreciated. Regards, Richard.
Thanks a lot, Richard and indeed ...
those reports need lots of time and not only for visiting at the booth ;-) Oliver
Fantastic overview and insights.
Thks Oliver and Magnus. My favourite, perhaps strangely, and the one that I am strangely drawn to is the Panoreserve in gold. Perhaps the classical proportions, or the gold hour markers....very elegant and would love to pair it with it's neighbour, in Mag...
