for a while now.. something has bothered me and keeps me from buying GO.. while i love the styling, i love the movements....oh the movements!, love the dials, love the cases... 2 flaws i find that if fixed would raise the level of GO very much.. as the mo...  

I would love for GO to lose the silly scripts. I myself have now bought in and I hope everyone understands that my criticism is intended to be constructive but I really dislike this particular aspect of their entire line. Why crow about something a silly ...
