Glashütte Original

Hello, This is my first post in the GO forum. I am very new to the brand and just returned from a trip of watch shopping. I went to look at the Sport Evo, and in the mean time was very drawn towards the GO Senator Chrono XL. In a store with so many watche...  

The Bi Compax design of the dial is a strong " + " in my book. The purity of the dial is not ruined by the date window. And the black dial adds strenght and elegance. A very good choice, in my opinion. If you were looking for an in house movement, with a ... 

I actually wrote you a long PM, so if there is anything else that you would want to add, based on what I wrote you can still reply to it, but thank you for what you wrote so far.

. . . between worthy competitors, and let there be no doubt that the Brequet XX and XXI, as well as the IWC 5001, are essentially comparable designs. All three lean more towards formality and appearance than casualness and utility. These are chronographs ... 

I would think watches like those are made to be worked for your occasional parking meter or just visual satisfaction, not daily use by any means and I don't know anyone who does. But isn't that why everyone gets a chrono, I don't mean everyday but typical... 

. . . and haven't for quite some time. My Karree chrono was an outstanding timekeeper, but the chrono was rarely used. The Speedmaster Mk II was a gratifying watch to possess, but likewise, rarely used for its intended purpose of timing events. If I were ... 

Is a definite advantage to me. In the past, GO used to make Senator chronographs with date at 12. But due to the construction ,the date wheel itself was sunken beneath the level of the chrono plate. IMO this was not on. It necessitated a magnifying glass ... 

,conrgatulations on your purchase!

It is really beautiful in person, far more than any photo. And I admire the company very much, but Im still doing my research to make sure this is the best choice overall. Thanks everyone for the replies

Personally I don't like the IWC 5001. It's a great watch, a great movement, but I don't love it. Also, the case is too thick and the watch strap feels too small and thin for such a thick watch. The only benefit to the 5001 is the fact it has an in-house m... 

and it would be a tough call. The 5001 wears large and I think like the Breguet is more appreciated when you live with it a while. The IWC seven day power reserve is a great feature. The Breguet is the most sporty of the three. The dial color is unique an...  

I really like this model, I have owned a IWC 5001 too, which is a different but also great watch and the Brequet is also great yet very different. You certainly cannot go wrong with this GO imo, but at the end of the day, it depends on what speaks most to...
