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.
These are stunning BUT I feel like the lack of precision would drive me absolutely insane.
Honest question: how does it not annoy the everliving fuck out of you that you can't tell what time it is between xx:23–xx:26 xx:34–xx:37 of every hour? It seems so counterintuitive to me that the watch is made with such precision yet you can't simply tell what time it is when looking at it.
I really love a lot of what GO is doing. I wish this design didn't bug me so much.
The printing is still there for the hour markers? Am I missing something on why you wouldn’t be able to tell the time when it gets to the bottom sub dial?
Yes. It appears that the 15- and 45-second markers for the subdial are around where the 5- and 7-hours indexes (25- and 35-minute markers) would be, but they're not. They're somewhere around roughly 24 1/2 and 35 1/2 minutes and they completely obliterate the spacing of the minutes. It drives me batty when everything else about the watch is super precise.
