I love this watch and agree on the strap. While I greatly admire this one and have no complaint I have in my mind a brother which is much the same save the dial is black, there is no date, and it is made in platinum. This watch to me would be perfect and I know I would have no defense from its charms. I suppose from a financial standpoint it may be good GO has not decided to dangle such a morsel in front of me? lol At any rate I think the only thing that has held me back from buying into this one is knowing in my mind there is something that would make it perfect to me even though it doesn't exist. Not sure if I'm explaining that well as I lack the skills with words some of you folks have at your disposal.
