Gosh!....
That is remarkably kind of you, db darien; thank you for those flattering (if undeserved!) sentiments. Can you be persuaded, though, to alter your plan just a little?
One of the great things about this forum, as you know, is that we all share our views. Although those views are necessarily subjective, each little insight adds one piece more to the collective thinking. In that respect, your [subjective] thoughts would still be most valuable, and therefore very interesting to know, regardless of what may have been posted before.
Thanks again,
Cheers,
pplater.
Your thoughts on this GO please?
I am very interested in this watch that I saw over the weekend: GO Senator Chrono XL. Any comments on the movement, the design, or the company itself would be helpful. I am new to the company Glashutte Original and Im just trying to decide between this, I...
GO = handmade in Germany. That says it all ...
A very underated manufacturer of some really classy, technically brilliant watches ! As you ask for opinions: the GO chrono is quite big, I suppose. IWC's Portugieser is very, very tempting due to it's 7 days power reserve. The Breguet: no points, as we E...
I second this
When we get down to the basics, it's the movement that counts - Count! I would choose it over IWC and the other one any day. As always at your service, Amerix This message has been edited by amerix on 2010-11-05 15:58:55 This message has been edited by am...
An approval from a pundit, watch enthusiast like you is very reassuring...
You are absolutely spot on: the movement is the greatest factor behind any watch ! If design complements it than it results in beauties like , RL PLM, 1815 moonphase, Ellipse, Datograph, 5140, ... . Hope you are doing well Moritz
Is it a bad thing that the GO is a modular
movement? How does this GO movement stack up against the IWC in-house...or any other comparable in-house movement in the same price range? thanks for the replies
Will it assist you at all....
... to have the untutored views of someone who knows very little about the competing technical merits of those selections, but who knows what he likes in a watch? If so, then read on: with the caveat, however, that these are the very personal views of an ...
Very thoughtful
Thanks for the review/comments. GO forum or not, it was great reading your perspective.
Very Nice Post!
Pplater -- Your post exemplifies the kind of insightful and thoughtful introspection I love to see on a forum like this....yours are the words of a true "WIS" and I, for one, appreciated hearing what you had to say and how you said it. I say that regardle...

YOUR PROBLEM IS REALLY A TOUGH ONE !
As the contenders are not quite comparable, not quite the same: two chronos, one "simple" watch, two non inhouse movements, one inhouse, one is a pilot watch, one a sixties design , one a pocket / maritime chronometer and all are big watches. In order: Th...
you have very Good Taste :0))
but you're making it tough on me to decide which one is Best. .in the end? it all depends what other Watches you have in your collection. i think they all are Great and different . but FROM THE LOOK STAND ???! i'd pick the Portuguese for it's White Dial a...
This thread has been moved back to HoMe . . .
. . . in recognition of the likely intent of bar2020 to canvass the wider audience here; he also posted independently on the G O forum, and I've responded to that query. Let's take a good look at the Glashütte Original that has bar's interest: This is Ton...
Flyback?
Does the GO have the flyback function? I stand to be corrected but my understanding is the Breguet doesn't have one. Best Mally
Hi, Mally - the cal 39 chronographs are not . . .
. . . flybacks . . . cordially, Art
personal choice:
I would pick the Breguet, i like the overall look of it more than the others MR
