I concur wholeheartedly, L & S . . .
. . . the blue PMLs are special . . . it's one of those rare watches that have a distinctly different appearance when equipped with a strap or bracelet yet looks equally compelling either way, dress or casual respectively. The Panograph is one of very few G O's that I regret not purchasing . . . it was one of the great bargains of recent times, and sadly they're no longer available from Glashütte Original.

Time for another G O collection survey, folks . . . let's start with mine . . .
. . . 2005 Senator perpetual limited edition . . . This message has been edited by Dr No on 2008-09-23 22:36:34 This message has been edited by Dr No on 2008-10-04 09:42:58...
My first, and favorite, G O perpetual . . .
. . . the black and silver dial steel Karree from 2003 . . ....
My 'go to' G O that can be worn anytime in any situation . . .
. . . the grey Karree perpetual from 2004 . . ....
Perpetually in love with this one:
My one and only one, but not my last, of course! Next would be Meissen, PanoInverse...? Best. Nicolas...
The Navigators are the consensus favorites, methinks, along . . .
. . . with the Panomatic Lunars . . . pure and simple designs that reflect strength and elegance, respectively. My guess is that the preponderance of first-time G O purchases are either of those two models. Of course, you had to have the very special limi...
If you hop into the way back machine and press "to today"...
I've had the following (yes, 2 PML's, I should have kept the blue one): And now the current:...
GO Senator Perpetual Calendar
Art, after seeing your photo, I want to get one. For me Its really a beautiful looking watch. And after looking at the photos, I have just realised that when the date is in single figures there is a zero before it. Which for me is far better then how Lang...
I'll play ...
Currently have 7 GOs in my collection (favourite being the 1845 Klassik Small-Second) ... The Senator Navigator is currently off for retro-fitting of the sapphire case-back (Really miss it) ......
That is a pretty stark contrast when you think about it, Steve . . .
. . . the one being my favorite complicated tool watch and the other my favorite complicated dress watch. There are three steel G O's that I regret not purchasing when they were available: the grey Panograph, the 1845 Karree with the reverse pattern dial,...
Ah, the limited edition Navigator chrono and the Panomatic Venue . . .
. . . of the two, the PMV interests me the most from a user's standpoint . . . do you travel often, and if so, what are your impressions of the second time zone indicator as implemented by Glashütte Original? Curiously, Art This message has been edited by...
I think I have a couple around here somewhere :)

Ok I´ll play too.............
Here is my 3 current models. Then there is a few oldies in my drawer too. Jocke...
Did you hear me falling off my chair, Zhiming?
No? You just killed me... Impressive collection in its diversity of complications, and esthetic, too... Yep, this is a nice way to sum all the GO talent in their creations! Thanks for this photo essay! Nicolas
It's a pleasure to visit a small portion of your collection, Zhiming ;-) . . .
. . . and for those that weren't aware, our friend is a cardinal Glashütte Original cognoscenti. I hope that one day we will be able to have an article featuring your vast and deep collection, Zhiming . . . most cordially, Art
These simpler G O watches get too little attention, in my humble opinion . . .
. . . and I'm not sure why, as your Senator is an incredibly handsome and legible modern design . . . a very appealing watch, especially as equipped on a bracelet. Congratulations, Time Buff, and welcome to the G O forum . . . cordially, Art
Seb..., C'est bien!
Sorry, couldn't resist.. Definitely, Seb, you have a very nice taste in watches...JLC, now GO and GU, wow! Congrats, my friend. Nicolas
Pleased to meet you, Sébastien . . .
. . . if you've been following our forum for awhile, you might know that I owned a Senator up-and-down for over four years, and parted with it two and a half years ago. Thanks for joining in the party . . . cordially, Art
Good to meet you too!
Yes, I've seen that you owned one. What I like most in this watch, is the way the 3 complications are harmoniously located on the dial. I've just realised that this is much more complicated that I anticipated to discuss watches in English. I'll stay quiet...
Ah, Sébastien, if our good friend Nicolas waited until he . . .
. . . had mastered the English language, we would all be the poorer for it . . . his fractured prose is completely charming, and we get to appreciate the wonderful enthusiasm and character of the man thru his "Borat" style of writing. Don't worry about ho...
Wow, Art and Sebastien...
Well, Art, you're not kind with me...LOL And as Borat use to say, if you're not kind with me, I won't let you use my sister...LMAO... A Pity, as in fact, I have so many beautiful sisters... Don't believe me??? OK. Best. Nicorat......
If those are your sisters, Nico, then I'm coming to Paris before . . .
. . . you come to visit us in So Cal! Best regards, Art ;-)
Aaah you see, Art
You come for girls , not for friends??? LOL I see where are your motivations, now...LOL Best. Borat.
What a perfect example, Sébastien! Nico has made me laugh . . .
. . . at myself again ;-) . . . no worries about how you write, just write from the heart. Best regards, Art
Waow
I've never had such a nice welcome on any board I've joined. Thanks to both of you, your "fight" was very funny. Cheers mates, Seb
My same 3
Wow! Such amazing collections here. It is so nice to see the wonderful variety of my favorite watch brand. Here is my little contribution. All 3 look very different in appearance, but are all based on the cal.39. Keep the collections coming!...
new kid on the block .....
Hi, GO friends ! I am new here and as GO seem to become my favourite brand, I thought it is a good moment to join in. Btw: I am from Germany. Here we go: Stefan...
Another trifecta! And for the first time, a Senator Calendar Week . . .
. . . if my memory serves me correctly. I don't think we've ever had one posted before, Stefan, so welcome aboard and congratulations on being first in the Calendar Week category. I doubt there are many in North America as the week of the year doesn't fig...
Calendar week
Hi Art ! I was particularly wondering as their original catalogue and marketing pictures did show the names of the days in German language, which I found kind of "charming" for German customers and for a German watch brand. Unfortunately it turned out lat...
I believe you're referring to an 'exploded diagram', Stefan . . .
. . . although I have to admit a preference for the German phrase 'explosion painting'. . . it's so much more colorful ;-). Our Moderator Emeritus posted this explanation a few years ago: Date: Oct 24, 2006,04:04 AM Yes and no. There are several calendar ...

Dear Art, thanks for providing the correct wording. I am more familiar with business English than with watch terminology Also interesting to read what Marcus wrote. Which is indeed a much better explanation. Today I have seen a large watch dealer here in ...
