What he thinks and wants is one thing, but you?
It all dépends on the love you have for your Breguet. Be sure you won't regret it.
The Observer is an interesting and appealing Watch, aesthetically and mechanically.
Each of them is so different!
You won't go wrong with the Observer, but won't you regret the Breguet? It all dépends of your love for this piece.
Best,
Nicolas.
Senator Observer
Hi, I am exploring an opportunity to trade a Breguet Type XX Aeronavale Limited Edition and another watch for a GO Senator Observer Steel. I already have a GO PanoLunar XL in my collection, and would be relinquishing my only Breguet. I am compunctious to ...
I have been very intrigued by the Observer
Personally, I would make the trade. I liked the Observer the first time i saw it. I like the unfussy, extremely Teutonic design. I like the date-window a lot at 6, in this case. I would make the trade. The type XX is a fine watch and purely classic... but...
Why are you thinking of letting go your Breguet?
And why are you considering the Observer? The answer to these 2 questions is the answer. Best, Nicolas

Hi, appreciate the feedback, in response to your questions: The Breguet is the only thing in my collection that the other party wants which gives me the most trade-in value. Secondly, I just simply like the classy look of the Observer. I don't know moveme...

Thank You
Thanks for putting it in perspective. Based on your feedback, I realized that I might have a difficult time getting another Breguet limited edition and would definitely regret it if I cannot source another. I can save towards the Observer, and bump that u...
The Observer
I have a Panoreserve 40mm and the Observer. The Observer is one of my favorite watches. It is often in my rotation. I never get tired of it.. Comfortable to wear.. I have considered a Breguet multiple times but have pretty much moved it way down on my lis...
These are fundamentally different watches, so any guidance . . .
. . . would be almost purely subjective; in other words, not of much use. This would've been a far more difficult decision had the Breguet been one of the original models. As a relatively recent limited edition, it's not imbued with the gravitas of an ori...
Wrist shots of all five, as requested! . . .
. . . the one that started it all . . . . . . the Grey Eminence . . . . . . the 'go-to' G O . . . . . . the elegant . . . . . . and the exquisite. There's one I'd love to add, the limited edition 1845 Karree, either in steel or rose gold. Cordially, Art ...
That's the one that sparked my fascination . . .
. . . with Glashütte Original. I vividly recall seeing it on G O's website in the late spring of '01, and my first encounter in the metal during the Christmas holidays that same year. It took a few years to get my courage up to buy one, and it's been my c...
Curious
Curious to know wether you actually acquired the Senator Observer . I bought the Senator Observer in grey lacquered dial with the black crock stripe last year in Germany and I think it is one of the best pieces I own. The simplicity of the dial, the 44 mm...
I love the Observer
I have a GO Observer and it is one of my most worn and favorite watches. It is something you can wear with any attire (perhaps not beach or swimming pool). Whether the trade is worth it or not is a personal decision. All i can say is that i have considere...
So different
Both of these watches couldn't be more different in look and character and it's hard to pick one over the other simply because I don't feel like they actually compete against each other directly. That said, I'm a big fan of GO for their finishing, simplic...
