Glashütte Original

After doing numerous searches, there is little commentary on this model and few acknowledge owners. I guess it brings up the question of why so little interest. While price plays a factor, there are numerous other sporty watches in the same type of niche that seem to spark more curiosity. Given that, is it such an oddity of having a perpetual complication with a casual watch? Is it also too much of a contradiction of having a busy dial with a Pilot watch known for their simplicity? The IWC Big Pilot, however, is quite popular and it also strays for the simple norm. Overall, I think this may be one the least mentioned GOs.  Any thoughts why? 

In terms of the Navigator line, I really like this model in particular. The dial seems to easily absorb the perpetual features without breaking up the dial's symmetry. Unfortunately, I don't seem the same symmetry when I look at the other models. The short hour hand of the time-only model just doesn't look right to me, albeit it's probably the best value. Similarly, I don't like how the "4" is cutoff on the panodate version as well as the starkness of the white date background. While I find this model with all of its contradiction appealing, it makes wonder if I am better off not combining a Pilot genre watch with a perpetual.  Have you considered the Navigator Pereptual at one point in time, but ultimately reconsiderd?   Any thoughts on these models would be appreciated?
