Glashütte Original

firstly, its taken 12 weeks because I made the mistake of believing a dealer when he said he had one in stock. he was lying and still hasn't got one in stock, so after going to my credit card company and getting the money back I went to a dealer who proved he had one in stock. 2 days in transit and it arrived this morning so I've taken a few quick pics, but I know there will be better ones coming very soon.

You'll never tire of this one...it's mesmerizing on top of being beautiful - even to the extent of being hypnotic! It's so different from the standard offerings out there and also happens to be a very photogenic watch.

thanks Richard,
its looking superb on the wrist and is going to visit a purist for the long weekend tomorrow so wait for fridays wristscan.

Prince Graham, (notice the promotion)

This is what I call a regal birthday present.

The twin swan neck regulators is something to glue our eyes ... forever.

And the brand ... lovely.

Congratulations!

Cheers,

Nilo

thanks Nilo,
back to wearing 2 watches for a few days as the piccadilly is still on my wrist and keeping perfect time to the second.

cheers Buddy,

another PSM in about 3 weeks.

fingers are burning hot :)

Great choice, great watch, it will be with you faithfully for a lifetime!

i would say thank you Mass, but as you were the dealer who claims 7-8 days delivery, but leaves people waiting over 11 weeks i'm afraid i cant.
you may be a really nice person, but as a dealer, you give incorrect delivery time to customers in order to get their business.
if you had said to me it will take 3 months i would have paid you a deposit, not the full amount i ended up paying you.

luckily my credit card company refunded me after your failure to deliver and i sourced one in  the US that arrived in 2 days.

i am very happy with my purchase and it will stay with me for a lifetime, its just a shame the initial buying experience was so bad.

G

Fortunately you got back the money and now you must only give your time and attention to the grey beauty on your wrist!

yes, a really terrible buying experience. i dont normally name and shame but Virtuoso jewellers/watch dealers should be avoided at all costs.

Maybe there was a miscommunication here, but this exchange is pretty shocking.  In any event, I'm glad that you finally got it on your wrist!

its a lovely watch to own and wear Mike, possibly my favourite German made watch.
as for the way the thread went, sometimes you have to tell it like it is which can be unfortunate, but the matter is closed.

Congratulations and happy birthday graham.

GO makes really nice and greatly finished watches.

Cheers, Mark

this is my favourite of all GO's and it is beautiful. an enamel dialled Speake-marin Piccadilly on the other wrist is very close if not equal, but in a different way.
i need to sell a few more of my vintage pieces and then target a perpetual calendar to replace my UN Ludwig i had to sell 4 years ago due to divorce. if i could get another i would, but they are few and hard to find.

thanks Doc. i should have prepared in advance so the watch was here for my birthday back in august, but only ordered it on my birthday then got let down by dealer and had to find another from a superb dealer in Pennsylvania.

even the xmas watch wont be here until jan or feb :)

thank you young man. i'm loving it equally as much as my speake-marin, but in different ways as they are totally different beasts.

Cup of tea!

Best, and enjoy, my friend.

Nicolas

. . . that Glashütte Original was your cup of tea, Graham.  I'm floored, truly I am.

. . . Rosie.

thanks Art.
the Panoinverse has always been one for me regardless of the brand. beautifully made and beautiful looking.

i am saving now for a perpetual, but not sure which brand. i've always been a big UN fan, but there are a lot of good brands out there. i miss my Ludwig perpetual.

we'll have to see how my fire sale goes.
