Muchas gracias, Nico . . .
. . . your solitary Navigator has playmates from Jaeger, Breguet, Rolex and many others, but he needs a little brother ;-) . . . cordially, Art
Collection round-up time, folks! Let's see your Glashütte Originals . . .
. . . past or present, the rarer the better. I've got three Karree perpetuals to share . . . . . . a hand-winding Karree Panodate . . . . . . the limited edition Senator perpetual . . . . . . and something borrowed ;-) . . . Cordially, Art This message ha...
Beautuful watches Art
Here are my two watches. Sport Evolution Chronograph. Senator Sixties....
Great shot of the Sixties!
I've always been a huge fan of this model and it's high on my wishlist. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Daos
Thanks, Dave . . .
. . . the Senator Sixties pic was taken with a point-and-shoot on an overcast day . . . natural light at it's best. Sweet combination of your own, too . . . even more remarkable when you realize that two dissimilar watches are based on the same movement. ...
I love that gray-dialed Karree...
...on what looks like a gray-green lizard strap. Hello, Gorgeous! Also, the Sixties remains a favorite! Thanks, Art! It is always fun when you share your beauties! Daos
The strap was grey when it arrived . . .
. . . the green tinge is courtesy of exposure ;-) . . . time for a replacement, I think. The Sixties is what I've been wearing all weekend . . . I'm considering a shell cordovan strap for it. What do you think - black, brown, or tan? Cordially, Art
I like black, myself, for the silver Sixties.
Cordovan straps have such a great texture. I like the material a lot. Cheers, Daos
Art, the strap I so like on your second Karee
do you know if it will fit my Senator perpetual and if so, may I order it onlline and where? Thanks. Arthur
The strap was ordered from . . .
. . . Camille Fournet in a short length and maximum padding; be sure to specify the curved end that Glashütte Original refers to as 'integrated' to retain the seamless appearance . . . Art
Ah, a contender for the heavyweight title . . .
. . . and not just because of it's platinum case, either. The elongated Romans, poires hands, and plain white print in conjunction with the pure black unadorned dial and matching black aperture backgrounds lends an appearance that is both elegant and rugg...
Yes, but what a watch! I'm very partial to Karrees . . .
. . . and nice to see you joining in with a photo of yours . . . cordially, Art
Sublime!
The Dark dial on this platinum case is just sublime! The shape of the hands too. Best, Nicolas
Now that is what I call a Collection, Art
Your watches are as impressive as they're lovely, my friend. And your last one, the Sixites, is very tempting! For the moment, as you know, I have only one, but a beloved one, my Senator Navigator for Rimowa ( if you forgot it... ) But it won't be my last...
Muchas gracias, Nico . . .
. . . your solitary Navigator has playmates from Jaeger, Breguet, Rolex and many others, but he needs a little brother ;-) . . . cordially, Art
This dateless RIMOWA Navigator is a killer
Nicolas, you did well to put hour hands on this watch (and vice versa). I love it. I very happy that I got on STOWA's list for one of the last remaining Airman Originals, so I will be able to own a B-Uhr style watch sometime by the end of the year (also T...
The simple, the better, IMO, Martin
When I was considering a Pilot watch , I saw some IWC ( The Big Pilot ), a,d some Vintage: Lange, Laco, and so on. I made my choice following 2 ways: I chose some nice Vintage JLC Pilots: The Mark V II Weems, and the RAAF Mark XI. I hesitated a lot betwee...
PanoInverse, please, Nicolas...
...so I can live vicariously through you. It's one of my dream watches. The only question remaining is rose gold or white gold?! Daos
WG for me
Just need to find the money to get it... The more I see it, the more I'm appreciating it, and the idea behind it. Best, Sister, and Co Dreamer! Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-09-07 13:43:02
Can't agree more, Joe
Even if this Hour scale on the normal Senator Navigator is tempting me a lot, too... Greediness! Best, Nicolas
You kill me with this piece Nicolas.
You must of been waiting outside GO ;-) Best! -- Richard.
Here are mine...

Another nicely balanced collection, spread across . . .
. . . the Senator and Pano lines, with varied complications in manual and automatic winding. I'm very partial to your grey Panograph, but you already knew that ;-) . . . cordially, Art
I want more !!! [nt]

Welcome to the buffet, Ed . . .
. . . here's a photo of your limited edition Karree: Please add a more recent photo if you can . . . warmest regards, Art...
Mine or wmclarenf1's? I like mine, but his is awesome! The . . .
. . . next heavyweight for me will be the Senator Chronometer (don't ask me when!), but if I didn't already have my fill of perpetuals, one of the platinum cal 100s would be at the top of the list . . . cordially, Art

You've got all the bases covered, DB . . .
. . . precious metal and steel, manual and automatic, dress and casual - good planning! Btw, folks, you can click on the photos for a larger presentation . . . cordially, Art
One day I'll be able to contribute to a post like this!
All the watches are quite nice. Can't wait to see the new Senator Chronometer! Best, Jed
A Senator Chronometer for the view, I suppose . . .
. . . good call, Jed! Cordially, Art...
I am taking you verbatim, Art, it is only about capitalisation
I am glad that Dr. No did not ask for our Glashütte Original watches, but for our Glashütte Originals ;-) So I get the chance to show you this Glashütte original from the 60s. It is an elektrochron 410 that is powered by battery, but uses a classic balanc...
;-) . . .
. . . and a tidbit for those who might not know this detail: in the not-so-distant past, G O offered marine chronometers originally produced in the post-war era thru their dealer network. These marine chronometers had been overhauled and calibrated for th...
I'd forgotten about this photo . . .
. . . taken last year while in Glashütte . . . cordially, Art...
You're in good company, Pink Panther . . .
. . . it's the #1 pilot's watch for a lot of folks . . . cordially, Art
Hi, Jocke! Nice to see your G O family here . . .
. . . best regards from So Cal, Art
Excellent collection, Jocke
Again and again I am suprised how similar your and my taste seem to be. The Panomatic Lunar complements the SportEvo so well. Added to that the plain and simple Chronograph (we both like Speedys, right?) makes a really nice collection in my eyes. Of cours...
Here are mine - past and present
Here are the various GO's I own or have owned. Fortunately, the watches are much nicer than my photos!...
Thanks, Ray. My recollection is that for some of these, at least, you . . .
. . . were amongst the first in line to acquire . . . best regards, Art
Very nice collection, Ray
you're pretty well covered in G.O watches! From an outstanding Chrono to the Charmful Senator Navigator, they are all here... PanoInverse??? Best, Nicolas
Better late than never . . .
. . . and while blue PMLs aren't exactly common, your Wempe chronograph is downright rare . . . cordially, Art
Excellent! I managed to retrieve your photo from the Gallery . . .
. . . and posted it a few seconds after you posted Take II, but it's no longer necessary - thanks, Richard! Cordially, Art
Here are my two which I've had for a while
..... still love them.. Left - Ltd Ed Platinum Panograph Right - Ltd Ed Navigator Perpertual (cal 39)...
A couple of heavy hitters there, Sam! My pal Mitch K also has . . .
. . . one of the Panograph LEs - does yours have the cabochon, or is it from the second run? Cordially, Art
Thank you, Jarle . . .
. . . and I hope you can share a few photos of your quartet . . . cordially, Art
It isn't much of a collection at just a single watch
But I still am stunned by my Senator Meissen:...
The Mona Lisa would make a museum . . .
. . . so I don't have a problem with a Meißen making a collection ;-) . . . cordially, Art
They were all produced in Glashütte . . .
. . . so the cousins are welcome here as well. I don't think I've ever seen a cal 39 Navigator Panodate on an alligator strap before . . . please post a wrist when you have chance. Thanks for participating, Brava . . . cordially, Art
Finally!
I can proudly say I'm a member of "the GO club". Please forgive me this quick pic. BTW, this bracelet is so comfortable and well engineered. Cheers!...
That is impressive!
A superb collection of Vintage GOs! I'm specially interested by the 60ies Vintage. May you take closer pics of them? Welcome here! Best, Nicolas
11! Wow! I hope GO knows to send
you a Christmas, Valentine's, Birthday and "any day you choose to celebrate" gift every year for the rest of your life...
That will be great!!!
If they knows how deep my passion is, they whould send me some special gift!! Thanks in advance!!
Wow! Just like in 'The Wizard of Oz', a special medal . . .
. . . is your reward as 'Curator of the Vintage Glashütte Original Fan Club'! Most impressive . . . cordially, Art
Forgot this one.....
........that I loved and lost (well traded for a watch I could read more easily)...
Unfortunately, I no longer have photos of my first two G Os . . .
. . . a black/silver dial Karree chronograph and silver white Senator power reserve . . . cordially, Art
Thanks, Leica
As you know, the very same elements that make this watch so stunning in the metal also make it a (if not the) most difficult watch to capture in pictures. One of these days, I'll come up with a really good shot. By the way, I really enjoyed seeing the new...
