Thanks Art

Was inspired by you to get this piece.. have always been held in awe by your GO collection especially your perpetuals. I admit I bought this watch solely for the movement. Originally I wanted the Cal 42 but its long been discontinued. This 22 looks exactly like the 42 so I was sold on it except that i'd preferred if it had German script engraved on the caliber instead of in English. I actually wanted the silver-dialed version but then again, I already have 2 silver-dialed GOs... the black dial also looks rather interesting under varying light conditions. And the applied(?) roman markers are a first for a GO I believe. However I encourage people with smaller wrists to try it on before buying. The strap ends that fit to the lugs aren't movable, hence the watch suits bigger-wristed people better. My wrists are kinda small so I had to use the last hole. Not so the case for my Panoreserve or Senator Moon.

However I must say that I do have a soft spot for hand wind watches. Don't really like the rotor obscuring the movement with the exception of micro-rotor watches. Hope for more hand winds from GO in future.
