Heard a story from my barber many, many . . .

. . . years ago.

One of his customers was an LAPD motorcycle cop who worked the Hollywood beat for a while.  Late one night, a convertible driven by a black gentleman whizzed by, so he pulled him over for speeding.  After running the guy's license and checking his car out, he turned to the driver and said, "I'm letting you go with a warning, on one condition.  It's 3 AM.  Why are you wearing shades?"

"When you be cool, man, the sun is always shining."

A look at GO

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-09:08
Having had a couple of hours to kill and a GO AD handy, I decided to try out some of the current crop, to see if I could picture a GO at some point in my future. And not surprisingly, I could very well do so The GO Senator Sixties Square Chrono was on my ...  

Your future is so bright you should wear shades ;)

Question is which GO you'll go for? Cheers D

The PanoMatic seems a favourite for the moment :)

But would not mind any of them, really

Or paraphrasing...

Totally agree with you. The Panomatic Lunar is a killer!!!

 
 By: Alkiro1 : July 6th, 2016-09:25
I own two GO (panoinverse XL and a Senator perpetual calendar) and, for me, the price-quality ratio is certainly one of the best you can find today. They are wonderfully well finished, precise, a strong presence on your wrist without to be too small or bi... 

So many nice watches :)

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-09:48
I will but cannot do it all at once...

Like a junky ;-)

We are a bit like that?

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-11:29
At we not?

Yes we are ;-)

It's also why GTGs are such good fun :)

Being able to share...

Yes of course [nt]

Very well put!

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-11:28
And I still need a German watch Let\'s see when and which...

A bit unsure, still...

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-20:53
My favourite is still the Senator Navigator PC but the PanoMatic Lunar is really great, too - the Counter is intriguing, the PanoRetroGraph and PanoGraph are really cool...

From my side, lunar first, Panograph and retro second and Senator last (I am not a big fan of military style)

 
 By: Alkiro1 : July 7th, 2016-00:53
Of course, the main thing is to choose the one which set your heartbeat racing the more. And for that you are alone to know ;-) Best wishes Alkiro

Let's see...

 
 By: KMII : July 7th, 2016-01:02
As you say, we all have different tastes and that's great

For sure my friend ;-)

Let's GO :-)))

You can trust me (not only me of course) but I am sure you will not be disappointed by the Panomatic Lunar (especially the one with the blue dial) ;-)

 
 By: Alkiro1 : July 7th, 2016-00:47
I recently helped a friend of mine to find and buy the previous model in 42mm as he was just crazy about this GO and wanted to buy one since a long long time (not so easy to find one you can trust me). And he is so happy now ;-) Best wishes Alkiro

I believe you!

Would gladly do so!

 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-10:18
They sadly did not have. But a spectacular watch When is yours arriving?

August delivery

Br,

I'm asking the Glashutte gods...

to deliver a Senator Excellence with Big Date at Basel 2017. With those classic arabics and lumed alpha hands as on the too-big-for-me Observer.

Need I say . . .

 
 By: Dr No : July 6th, 2016-12:12
. . . more? No, I thought not ;-) . . . ...  

+1 :) [nt]

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-12:20

The picture tells it all Thanks for the movement shot!

Great series of shots

 
 By: jml_watches : July 6th, 2016-12:14
For me it's the first watch that stands out. Have a definite weak spot for seconds & power reserve side by side Cheers JML

It does have a very pleasant symmetry to it :)

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-12:27
As does the Seventies...

As they say, "Character . . .

Such great dial design...

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-13:22
And it sits nicely on the wrist in spite of its size

If you like blue dials, the Pano line offers one of the best blue hue...

 
 By: massi. : July 6th, 2016-12:22
For my taste, I'm thrilled with the ruthenium version of the PanoReserve. Thanks for sharing! massi

May I? . . .

 
 By: Dr No : July 6th, 2016-12:24
. . . grazi , Massi . . . ...  

Not only blue...

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-13:22
That GO does very well

You're welcome, Massi!

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-12:29
Glad you enjoyed them Your Senstor Navigator PC is still my favourite, though!

A spectacular watch!

 
 By: KMII : July 6th, 2016-13:24
And one of the nicest PCs IMHO

Thanks goes to you...

 
 By: KMII : July 7th, 2016-12:23
For the picture and GO for the watch
