Glashütte Original

Neither would I accuse anybody or laugh!

 

Just because he would have a view onto things that is different from mine. In the contrary, the respect exercised on this site for different opinions is one of the things that make PuristSPro so special.
That said I completely share your idea of steel being the superior case material exactly for the reasons you mentioned. Even if in the meantime I found the WG case to be consistent with the very special movement of the Chronometer. But I am wearing it rarely and with care because of the soft case.
Seems to me that you are a "movement guy" like I am. The idea to invest into the movement rather than into the case material appeals to me.
The Diary is a great choice! A very special movement, a unique execution of the alarm complication and surely a great addition to your already impressive collection of G.O.
Best, Martin

My opinion remains, and incredible modernized version of a traditional Chronometer. ...  

Beauty..

No words can describe. BTW I recently had a chance to see the new model with blue dial, a universe of colors in the dial.

It is a beauty, indeed!

I have seen the same watch first in real last weekend at the sensational Zagreb Gtg., from an other dear Purists member. What can I say? It is one of the heaviest watch which I have ever had in my hand from Glashütte Original. Very puristic, beautiful dia...

I guess I can ramp up a new photo assault of the model, and recruit my fellow PuristS owners to join the campaign!! I can't say enough about it. The movement specifics you point out, they go into my thinking of it as a "modern" chronometer. The date of co...

How the backdrop reflects the hands is superb. Thanks for making my evening

easy to understand

why you love it. What's not to love about it !

Goodness gracious... talk about putting a fellow on the spot!

If I really could only choose one, it would have to be the AP. It is quite a bit more versatile than the white gold cased Glashutte. Not fun to consider not having the Glashutte!

This photo is amazing.

Same dial colors and hands as mine. You could not go wrong with either.

Indeed an amazing picture :-)

I bet you are craving for a G.O. Chronometer. And I know the feeling well. Took me six years of dreaming until a stroke of luck paved the way. During that time I did not allow me to purchase any other G.O. and no other naval chronometer like watch. There ... 

You can accuse me of blasphemy... or laugh at creeps, but here's my thought :-)

I really like the Chronometer, especially the Regulator one, but... there's a but! It is in gold, a metal I really dislike for watches! I had, at the beginning of my "collection career" two watches in gold, white and yellows, and I sold both after one yea... 

Neither would I accuse anybody or laugh!

How much you're right: PPro is a place where respect for the others opinion is first of all!

Like you write, I'm a "movement guy": about Diary for example, thinking at the watchmaker that put together more than 600 tiny parts... (631 parts, and they worked!) simply drives me crazy! Incredible!!! Now that I'm not so far from my first 50 years... i... 

What a nice an clean shot of the Chronometer!

It makes the beauty stand out without any ado. One day - when I am out of the contest one way or the other - I will be able to put mine back onto my wrist Until then I share your pleasure of wearing it. Thanks a lot, Michael! Martin
