Yes, an incredible watch!
Really amazing, made of steel, so you can wear it every day...
I remember my first (and last!) gold watch: the mirror watch surface "scratched" by the fabric of the jacket! How I like stainless steel!
A wonderful dial ready to show the information you need at a glance, without stress for your eyes guessing the number of the date, or if the hand points a dot or a number... And also the beautiful blued hands are a superb example of german watchmaking!
Now I'm only waiting for a perpetual calendar with perpetual week calendar inside! Made of steel, of course!

Perpetual vs Chronometer
Hello- Weeks ago, I post a new thread seeking advice for a perpetual calender and the natvigator perpetual was the winner. home.watchprosite.com But thing got complicated as my AD shows me a Senator Chronometer (white gold) which is the first time I handl...
I would go for the Chronometer, Joseph.
Your Perpetual is very nice, but I nevere got why putting a PC in a Pilot Watch... I must be narrow minded. I much prefer the simplicity of the Chronometer, which is truly linked to G.O past and DNA, as you wrote it so well. Just my 2 Old French Francs. B...
Don't you think that a Pilot watch is so strong that it suffices to itself? :)
Do you see a Pilot looking at his PC when flying? Best, Nicolas.
If it fits your wrist, I'd go with the Senator Chronometer
I've had a chance to examine the Senator Chronometer in the flesh and try it on - I loved absolutely everything about it, but it was simply too much watch for my wrist. Unlike other large Glashutte Original models that sport standard leather straps, the g...
is 42mm that big?
I should have strap it on that day! A 42mm doesn't sound like it's size would be a problem in today's standard. But may be you've pin point the problem...the strap fitting mechanism...gapless with the watch but not with my wrist. What a pity if it doesn't...
i understand where you come from but
if I look at it as GO's break through a their traditional Navigator line, the design and execution make one of the most legible high complication functional go undisturbingly with a pilot watch. Isn't it a functional art. On the contrary I cannot help not...
Hey, Joseph, this is only the reflect of my own taste.
I don't have the monopole of the good taste, my friend. I totally undersand the reasons which lead you to love and consider this G.O. So, why not, at the end? Best, Nicolas.
Interesting post
I own a Navigator Perpetual. While an unusual complication for a Navigator, I think it is very well done and the nicest of the GO Navigator models. With that said, I favor deck watches and I think the GO Chronometer is an excellent example of one. I have ...
i was moved by your earlier post on...
the Navigator Perpetual in Aug and I have enjoyed reading it! I'd also like to reconfirm with you that the Cal100 is not an instantaneous date? Which mean all plates in every aperture moves gradually at midnight? And it can be adjust backward, right? Than...
I would choose the...
Senator Chronometer WG, first. For Regulateur I would choose either of these... For Perpetual Calendar the Senator Calender because, me thinks the hands give a wonderful sense of the passage of time. Happy Hunting! -- Richard....
not again...
thanks for your great picture and the very nice regulator from IWC...I was torn between the IWC Port Perpetual and Navigator earlier, not here again!
Go for the Chronometer...you will regret not doing so....
It is a fantastic watch full stop. I looked at Dornbluth too but it is not in the same league at all in terms of finish. The chronometer is near perfect.
I'm a great fan of Dornblüth . . .
. . . which is one of a handful of favorite manufacturers, alongside Glashütte Original, Omega, and Grand Seiko. There was a time when I was very close to acquiring one but didn't, much to my regret. Perpetual calendars are simply magical, and I'm highly ...
finally i hear what i want to hear!
Porsche for me please... I can see myself drooling over the Chronometer in front of the computer, with a Navigator Perpetual on my wrist and a Dornblüth in a box.
Couldn't have said it better myself...
As fond as I am of the Navigator Perpetual, I still know the the Senator Chronometer is a much more fantastic piece with its award winning movement. Particularly, the planetary gear-set on the mainspring wheel is very attractive while it is functional (re...
I choose between those.........
And it ends with I get them all. It will never stop until you get what you consider buying, it might take a little longer....
if I am allowed to dream...
it will be the rose gold Regulator from Dornblüth; the platium Senator Rattrapante and Datograph! or Dornblüth 99.2, Senator Chronometer and a Richard Lange Referenzuhr! ...i don't want to wake up yet!
It seems . .
that the Chronometer and Dornblueth look quite similar. I think perpetual calendars are something special and every serious collector should have one in his or her collection! Given those qualifications, I would not hesitate to purchase the Navigator Perp...
Perpetual vs Chronometer
taking one step back, the navigator perpetual is actually more versatile with my wardrobe, if there is a pill that can make me forget about the Chronometer!
Yes, an incredible watch!
Really amazing, made of steel, so you can wear it every day... I remember my first (and last!) gold watch: the mirror watch surface "scratched" by the fabric of the jacket! How I like stainless steel! A wonderful dial ready to show the information you nee...
Both are completely different watches........
the chronometer is on the dressier side and the perpetual is on the sportier side. As nice the senator chronometer is, especially the movement, its tough to pass on a perpetual calendar at this price range. Also, and this is just my opinion, but I think L...
finally the rose gold limited edition!
I have handled one at the GO boutique in HK, and was wondering who is the lucky one to pull the trigger on this controversal pilot watch! I think this is not for the mass, but it will be a keeper for the blessed few!
Yes......
Its a great watch that complements a mature collection very well. Let us know what you decide on. Best of luck! Tony
