I love that blue dial!

The blue dial with that sunburst effect is brilliant. And the large date is perfect for me. Regards, Richard. This message has been edited by RJW on 2011-03-26 17:32:50

the white date... interrupts the dial... on the other hand, blue date would be weird, wouldn't it.... I'm sure this will be really cool in person. Jury is out for me. But I think it will be a hit.

the panoramadatum should be blue with a soft white font. Cheers, -- Richard.

g . . . and the corresponding press release from G O: "Sixties Square Tourbillon - Limited Edition Iconic design, ingenious mechanics and exquisite craftsmanship. The look of the Sixties, the traditional German watchmaker’s art and contemporary manufactor...

. . . similar to the platinum limited edition of 2009 . . . . . . and equally striking, in my opinion. Following is the press release: "The Senator Perpetual Calendar Art and precision engineering German technology and manufacturing enjoy a worldwide repu...  

still dreaming for one in steel, with the bracelet. Best, Goh

The 70's version is really different. Very 70's yet with a more modern touch. Best regards, George

. . . with a view towards acquisition, probably the blue dial. I can only hope it doesn't overwhelm my wrist! Cordially, Art

I kind of figured that you would fancy this model. I look forward to your report the day you will have held it in your hands. The rest of the Glashütte line up this year is also very good. Best regards, George

g . . . was introduced last year, and is included in this year's list as well. The press release reads as follows: "Sixties Panorama Date The Design Decade Design from the 1960s brings the 20th century’s most exciting decade to life. This extraordin...  

. . . is perhaps the most interesting G O novelty of 2011, bringing a deftly complicated touch to the Navigator formula. "Senator Navigator WorldView An homage to pioneering spirits It’s the 1920s. Aviation is in its infancy, yet all countries in Europe a...  

I'm not enamoured with the high pitch sound caliber 39 makes when winding, but this Navigator looks VERY interesting. I need some time to digest this piece and of course see it in the metal, but it is very appealing at first sight. Thanks for the updates ...

with date or without. Darn I wish this piece was unlimited GO!...  

The G.O WT is not really a WT, I mean ala PP or GP, or JLC... Or, it is a WT ala JLC Memovox International. You'll have to set your watch manually, if you want to know wha't the time worldwide. That is my guess on the G.O WT, and if I'm wrong, it is even ...

Does anyone know the size and msrp of this SS model?

. . . so please check back with me in a few weeks. My guess is that this one will be equivalent to, or less than, the current Senator Automatic. Cordially, Art

thank you for this updates dear Art Best Damjan

but why back to cal 39? Best, Goh

Perhaps Art will shed some light on this....?

. . . than meets the eye, Mike. The decision for three of the four (Sixties, Seventies Square, and WorldView) was driven by the aesthetic necessity of a centrally located date aperture, which can only be fulfilled by the cal 39 movement. The cal 22 would ... 

It was this one (senator auto) I was referring to as it would have been my thought the caliber 100 would have been the more natural fit. The choice of caliber 39 seems more a nod to product placement within the line either as to price point or product pos... 

...this is the only outright home run from GO this year. I feel a little deflated, not just with these offerings but many of the others that have been unveiled thus far from other brands. Perhaps live pictures will get me out of the funk. I do like the bl... 

Fantastic looking watch that is; can't wait to see it in the flesh. This must be the number one hit of the SIHH; simpel and yet lots of detail, classic refined looks; just love it. Best, Starman

Think I prefer the over-sized sub seconds with such a design.... Cheers, -- Richard. This message has been edited by =RWK= on 2011-03-28 19:34:27...  

Wow--I saw the pics of the white metal version in photos, and I found it very shiny looking... this RG version warms up the whole. I will love seeing this version in pics and in person. Maybe a GO icon in the making? I can see Jocke taking unreal pictures...

. . . the watch you really need is a Senator Diary, so that you never miss a date with a future Mrs RWK ;-) . . .

Unless I can pry this one loose from Vlad ;-) Best, -- Richard....  

The blue dial of the 70's model is really eye catching, and the bracelet with the micro adjustment is definitely a plus. I tend to like bracelets so I look forward to trying this one on when it becomes available. The Senator Automatic, which is simple and... 

Cool offerings for 2011, thanks Art! -MW

Finally, you take the cards out of your sleeves, don't you? Senatore ( as we say in Italy ) WT and Sixties Balck Dial for me, this year. Funny how it seems that WT are on the trend lastly: VC, then Breguet, and now G.O. The combination of a WT on a Senato...
