My First German
After getting an Austrian, I decided to GO for a German. Here's some pictures from today's unboxing.
Tape from the shipping box. No Pilfering! And yes, the tape works. It was soooo hard to get this package open even with a knife!
Hmmm...whats in the box
Ah hah!
The box matches my sofa. A match in heaven?
Nice presentation
A potentially usable travel case
The German design even trickles down to the box - a lovely smaller compartment to store the push-pin
Lovely finishing of Geneva stripes...or rather Glashutte ribbing
I love how the movement plays well with light.
And I love how the dial changes character with the light. It so dynamic. From a light silver....
To a soft metallic grey...
To a dark, masculine grey-black. Anyone notice how well the date wheel matches the dial? Well done GO! Well done.
Great satination on the buckle.
Horizontal and polished surfaces are gracefully and purposely done
And some mandatory wrist shots. Love the thinner bezel on this newer iteration.
I could not be happier to add this German to the stable. A great value, period - Glashutte is clearly underrated. There is fantastic attention to details ie. matching the date wheel colour to the dial colour, and excellent finishing to the movement and case. And don't forget the characteristic off-center, asymmetric dial design.
My only gripe would be the single-fold deployant as I personally find double-fold/butterfly clasps to be much more comfortable.
Hope you enjoyed looking!
Cheers,
Cholack

Beautiful timepiece, congrats
I did try on the black dial PML, and it was great, the dials really changed color under sunlight on the black dial. I think I am leaning towards the white dial as that is my preference right now, but it is hard to choose between them. And yes, the thinner...
Can't go wrong with this
Congratulations on an excellent choice! I completely agree that GO is very underrated, and also with the comfort of the deployment. It isnt bad in any way, but it could be quite a bit better. To GO's credit, it is very solid and secure though. Richard
Congratulations!
This watch definitely features a MichaelC color scheme. Wear it in best of health!
What a beauty!!
Congratulations on an exceptional acquisition! Thanks for sharing with us your virgin German experience--from wraps to wrist of the PML. The charcoal dial is mesmerizing. It'll garner a lot of looks and comments indeed. As the saying goes: once you GO Ger...
Congratulations.....
did you find the poker that helps you set the moon phase? It is nicely hidden in the watch holder that goes in the "travel case". Eric
Congrats on this new acquisition!!
Love the monochromatic essence of the watch. Best, Horo
Congratulations!
I have the same watch and share most of your opinions. I actually think the deployant clasp is very comfortable and very secure -- maybe it's just the shape of my wrist. One little issue I have however, is that on my watch, the date doesn't change until 1...
Date change on mine is close to instantaneous at 12:00
And the deployment just needed the right strap length for it to work! Cheers, Cholack
