First impression: I prefer the current models
It is somewhat premature without seeing them in person, but my first impression is that I very much prefer the layout and size of the current models.
PRESS RELEASE: GO presents the new PanoMatic XL
P R E S S I N F O R M A T I O N Basel 2007 Pano XL Dynamic Design in an Attractive Size Dynamic design, a provocative size, progressive charm, and the use of precious materials – this is the result of the Glashütte Original designers’ newest task: Pano XL...
Two questions, Marcus . . .
. . . regarding the XL line. The first is regarding the movements . . . are they identical, and if so, will there be a spacer ring to accomodate the larger case; the second regards the layout of the movement in the Panodate XL . . . what changes were made...
A quick reply ...
Hi Art! I have no idea if a spacer ring is used, but I assume so: larger case + small movement normally makes spacer rings necessary. However, it might even be prossible that the case is so thick to house the movement without spacer. The second question i...

. . . to not cause offense, and certainly everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but would you use the same verbiage if a close friend bought a Pano XL? Granted that English may not be your native language, but there should be some way to express your...
Art, your caution is wasted in this case ...
You asked if Charles would use the same phrases if a close friend had purchased one of the XL pieces. Yes, he would - most probably using even more drastic words. It is my privilege knowing Charles personally since years, and I might even assume that we k...
You're right, Marcus, and
... I'm thinking about spending my money ( let's say a part of it...) for a new GO including more air than my old ones. My watches are industrial examples, and therefore I've in my collection a Lange 1A and ... a Lange 1 "air", even if I'm not a fan of su...
Very important thoughts ...
... but it is late here, and I do not feel able to write down a reply of worthy length and elaboration now. ONe tiny issue I want to comment, though: The way how you apparently equal Asian quality, Toyotas and IBM (what has IBM to do with it?) with "mediu...
