Glashutte Original

thanks

Thank you for looking into this - I got to the Glashutte website, registered, but couldn't figure out how to post.

I do really love the watch. It makes no sense to me since week measures aren't used here in the states, but I loved the idea of the complexity.

I've left it be - so it will flip tomorrow night/morning. i'm looking forward to it. Then, I'll make the adjustments needed to keep it on track for the year.

Thanks again and happy new year.
