I thought the post was directed at the entire line
and he (perhaps unfortunately) used the 60s as an example. To be clear my comments were not directed at the sixties in particular but the line in general. I would still lose some script on that one but would happily wear as is 
Pet Peeve with GO..
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...
Yep,
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 ...
I think your first point is a fair one to make, Riley . . .
. . . and reasonable, too, although I'm sure you'll allow that there are others who aren't as bothered by the plethora of script. The example you chose to make your point is perhaps the most egregious in the line-up as pertains to script, necessary or oth...
A reasonable response as always Art but,

Authenticity

Usually, the descriptive terms that you listed were printed on the dial . . .
. . . and the issue at hand, if I understand correctly, is directed at the scripting on the back. Many G O's also have descriptive print on the dial as well, but my feeling is that most English-speaking aficionados aren't as bothered by 'gangreserve' as t...
Let's be thankful the writing is sequestered to the backside...
...otherwise it will look like a Rolex dial. I agree that not only is there too much writing, but it is also comprised of multiple different fonts.
