Or, everything else should cost less. Here is my glashutte original panoreserve. I love it. I have known about GO for awhile but hadn’t really looked at it as an option. Last year I went to Watch Time NYC and they had a booth there.
First, quality was nuts. Seeing it person they’re so much nicer than what pics portray. Most impressive watches there for price I saw.
Second, everyone was so friendly and non judgmental. By comparison the guy at Breguet booth was such a pretentious douche bag it’s put me off the brand a bit.
Anyway, went and bought my own shortly after. I put a sickly mint strap that gets dirtier and more moody looking everyday, just the way I like. It’s manual wind and I like that I get to spend 15 seconds winding it everyday I wear it.
Do you have any pics showing how thick the watch is? I really love the face, but I like my watches to be super thin.
12.1mm if I’m not wrong. Or something in the 12mm range anyway.
Yeah. I think it's too much for me. I'm happy with my JLC Ultrathin Moon at 9.3mm.
It’s 3mm honestly. Not 3cm.
Main difference between a GO and a Lange is the extra 2-3mm in thickness and being 40mm
And what, $35k~?
I have a JLC Ultrathin Moon that I like. I want to branch out to something else, but it's gotta feel sleek :)
Lange 1 ~$30k, Lange saxonia or 1815 ~$18-20k, VC Trad. Small seconds ~$15k. Breguet Classique 5177 ~$15k

5177 in the blue enamel is crazy
Imo Breguet shortchanges customers with the sunburst dial when they used to have the stainless steel versions in guilloche dials too. Those are far, far nicer looking and much more work goes into them as well.
That’s what turned me away from wanting a Breguet marine alarm in Steel really. Not worth the price at all even on the secondhand market imo.
Vacheron Constantin 6290 at like 4 or 5mm thick, $4K
Patek 5120g 6mm thick ~$20K
Nomos (various) 6mm thick ~$2-3K
Bvlgari octo finissimo 5.15mm thick $15K
Pretty cool options!
Langes are usually 38.9 or 41.9 if I’m not wrong. Not bad really for the larger piece as it still fits nicely for small wrist folks. I tried it and didn’t mind the fit at all!
