Finally... My humble GO...
Team,
More pictures later.
Cheers,
Got it today. My pilot.
More pictures later.
Cheers,
Nilo
your post sounds quite composed ...
... but I am sure that inside you it will be quite to the contrary!
Congratulations to your new GO pilot watch.
Best
Moritz
Thanks to all ...
One more picture, with a nice Negroni to give color to the scene.

With these great blue heated hands, you can try a shot close to a Blue Curacao glass! ;-) [nt]

Congrats !
looks very nice and interesting GO. Wasn't aware that GO makes pilot watches too. By the way, what's the purpose of the bottom left square button ?
Can please share some pics of the back ?
Cheers !
Here we go ...
I will take pictures of the back soon.
The left pusher, resets the running seconds hand to zero for precise adjustment of time.

pusher reset
the seconds reset pusher is a super interesting complication that I haven't seen on other watches. Gives the GO something over Stowa's excellent Flieger B Dial
I prefer ...
The way it's implemented, without any added pusher, as an example on my JLC UTT.
You pull the crown to adjust the watch and the running seconds jumps to zero.

Nilo

That is the best implementation of a B-Watxh out there.
Nothing humble about that, if you ask me 
Wear or the best of health!

From now on, you'll be known as . . .
. . . "Nilo the Navigator"*.
As much as I find most (and I mean almost all, not just a majority) large watches offputting, there are a few that, by dint of their design, don't overwhelm smaller wrists. Omega's Ploprof and original Flightmaster (910) are two noteworthy examples (although for different reasons). Glashütte Original Navigators are another rare exception.
While I don't have any in situ photos in my files, I have tried every version on, and consistently impressed by how well they adapted to my slender wrist. I'm not at all surprised that a Navigator turned out to be your passage back to Glashütte, Nilo.
Thrilled,
Art

No, not quite - Henry . . .

Thank you for the connection. I shall read about this navigator later. Best Moritz [nt]

I'm collecting titles and titles here ...
Art,
Thank you but I prefer "The Handsome", just like
Philip I of Castile:
Not that handsome but he was the King.
Thanks and Cheers,
Nilo
