From a machining perspective it is very difficult to make a 3/4 plate. If something is slightly off the whole bridge is scrapped. Being able to attain perfect alignment across all the wheels under one bridge with tolerances under .001mm is a huge accomplishment. Making individual bridges for every wheel is much easier and why you see it a lot in older pocket watches. The drawback to this is you lose a degree of robustness and accuracy across the whole movement. German movements done in this way are tough af

There’s a little more to it than this. Need to ask why it was done this way and what benefits does it add?

Ha! Same!

I’d say it more indicative of Glashutte region style.

I’m not, I’m just bad at expressing my thoughts through writing. If you read the whole thing I’m just trying to say that the prices other watches fetch for what you get is nuts and that GO is a lot of value for money. If I could rewrite title I would

Thank you 🙏

I’m embarrassed to say but it’s a Hodinkee strap. Haven’t been able find the color otherwise.

Fair enough about font. Could have been printed in a grey slightly lighter than dial. No need to draw so much attention to it.

My one beef with the watch is that GO does not sell parts. They are the only ones that can service it because of this, hence the $750 service price. To that I say, fuck you, I’ll make the replacement parts if I have to.

Probably, but I don’t mind.

If we all got only what was necessary we’d all be living in a plywood shack like Ted Kaczynski

But, agreed that most abuse what is really needed. A few nice objects you really enjoy seems fine to me

Yeah! Wtf I was looking at a reverso, not anymore

Indexes are all marked around dial, I’ve never had a hard time reading what time it is 🤷‍♂️

Out of the box it is running less than -1/+1 in five positions, seems very accurate to me.

Hmmm, yeah it is a bit thicker than normal, feels and looks nice to me
