From now on, you'll be known as . . .
. . . "Nilo the Navigator"*.
As much as I find most (and I mean almost all, not just a majority) large watches offputting, there are a few that, by dint of their design, don't overwhelm smaller wrists. Omega's Ploprof and original Flightmaster (910) are two noteworthy examples (although for different reasons). Glashütte Original Navigators are another rare exception.
While I don't have any in situ photos in my files, I have tried every version on, and consistently impressed by how well they adapted to my slender wrist. I'm not at all surprised that a Navigator turned out to be your passage back to Glashütte, Nilo.
Thrilled,
Art

Finally... My humble GO...
Team, Got it today. My pilot. More pictures later. Cheers, Nilo...
your post sounds quite composed ...
... but I am sure that inside you it will be quite to the contrary! Congratulations to your new GO pilot watch. Best Moritz
Thanks to all ...
One more picture, with a nice Negroni to give color to the scene. Cheers, Nilo ...
Congrats !
looks very nice and interesting GO. Wasn't aware that GO makes pilot watches too. By the way, what's the purpose of the bottom left square button ? Can please share some pics of the back ? Cheers !
Here we go ...
I will take pictures of the back soon. The left pusher, resets the running seconds hand to zero for precise adjustment of time. Cheers, Nilo
pusher reset
the seconds reset pusher is a super interesting complication that I haven't seen on other watches. Gives the GO something over Stowa's excellent Flieger B Dial
I prefer ...
The way it's implemented, without any added pusher, as an example on my JLC UTT. You pull the crown to adjust the watch and the running seconds jumps to zero. Cheers, Nilo
That is the best implementation of a B-Watxh out there.
Nothing humble about that, if you ask me Wear or the best of health! Martin

No, not quite - Henry . . .

I'm collecting titles and titles here ...
Art, Thank you but I prefer "The Handsome", just like Philip I of Castile: Not that handsome but he was the King. Thanks and Cheers, Nilo ...
