Dear GO community

The Senator Chronometer has been my grail for some years now and I think soon I'll be pulling the trigger , however I am torn between these two modles which I equally like.

I love the red gold and white dial, however there is something very unique about the silver dial with white gold case and applied Roman numerals.

Additionally there is a significant price difference between the two.

Anyone has either of these models ? What are the pros and cons ?

Thank you in advance

Vermutlich hier eine unbeliebte Meinung, aber meine 200€ Hommage China Uhr ist inzwischen meine absolute Lieblings Uhr geworden.

- NH35A** **Kaliber von TMI Seiko
- 39mm Durchmesser (Das war mein Haupt-Kaufgrund)
- gewölbtes Saphirglas
- Keramiklünette
- 316L Edelstahl
- Verschluss mit Schnellverstellung

Tip Top für den Preis.

I'm looking at my first GO Senator and found one with a fullset and what they state as "genuine" parts but the strap, although brand new looking somehow doesn't look right. I've compared it to what I could find on other Senators and it seems to be missing some numbers stamped into it.

Any help identifying if this is genuine greatly appreciated.

Went to ALS boutique recently to try on the Lange 1.

As a GO fan I thought the next step up would be A Lange, specifically Lange 1 since I'm a fan of the off center dial and moonphase.

Whilst the Lange 1 is a stunning piece, I felt a bit underwhelmed to be honest. Aesthetically the PML especially the limited edition looks much better in my eyes.

Also the PML is platinum case with a fantastic folding clasp compared to white gold and pin buckle on the Lange.

The Aventurine dial is gorgeous on the PML but the Lange 1 is also v nice.

Movement is where Lange is supposedly superior, which it is in terms of finishing and hand made work gone into it.

But from a technical point of view, the PML has 100 HR power reserve vs 72 hours, and a silicon balance spring so it fares better against magnetism and temp change.

The PML is also 50 m WR, to Lange's 30m

At 40mm the PML suits my wrist better.

The only other upside of the Lange 1 is the thinner profile.

Lastly price, the PML is a Limited edition and can be had brand new with 5 years warranty for the price of a used standard edition Lange 1.

The Lange 1 brand new is about 27k USD more expensive with maximum 3 year warranty.

This is just to push back against that common belief and comments I've seen here and other subreddits when they say "if you're spending 30k or more better go for a used Lange" which , in my opinion, is complete nonsense.

I've been sitting with this one for a while now, trying to figure out what to say here for my first post hereon this subreddit. Most watches give you something to talk about. A story, a complication, a color-way.

The GO Senator just sits there and makes you feel slightly underdressed for the conversation.

Built in Glashütte, a town so small you'd miss it on a map but so serious about watchmaking they basically invented their own set of rules for what qualifies as made there. The perpetual calendar accounts for leap years until 2100. The moonphase is off by one day every 122 years. I don't know who needs that level of precision but I'm glad someone does. I laid it on this coffee table book of Vouge Fashion almost by accident and then didn't move it for ten minutes. Something about the way the light hit the bracelet finishing against the florals; It just looked right.

Not everything needs to be loud to earn its place. Some things just belong wherever they land, and this is certainly one of them.

The green is completely unique compared to anything else I own. I originally planned on getting it on leather, but after trying the stainless steel bracelet, it completely changed my mind — probably one of the most comfortable bracelets I’ve worn.
The AD gave me a great discount, threw in a green alligator strap, and I’m ordering the folding clasp as well. On top of that, I received a 10% gift card after already getting 17% off. The price was also lower than the updated official pricing since their system hadn’t refreshed yet.
Overall an amazing purchase experience. The SA also gifted me a hard case catalogue book and said he’ll provide a travel watch pouch once it’s back in stock

…and a lot more to come🤩

Looking to get my first big luxury watch this summer, and I can't get the blue GO SeaQ out of my head. My wrist isn't huge (6.75in/17cm) so I feel like the 39.5mm may be the better fit...But the movement in the Pano is just on another level with the silicon hair spring being the main advantage in my opinion now that the newer 39.5s also have a sapphire case back. Just really want this watch to be one I can wear almost all the time in any situation (except for rare occasion Im in a suit). If the 39.5 was more anti-magnetic I'd maybe be less conflicted. Any thoughts on sizing for my wrist? Am I overanalyzing? If you have sub-7in wrists but have the pano would love to see some shots! Cheers.

I haven’t bought a steel watch in a long time, but the cool tone of the blues on this dial just look perfect with the steel case. Not perfect every day, but when it’s right, it’s the right watch.

Im torn between these two watches for my next addition. I am after a 12h chrono with an amazing movement. I know the prices are a bit different but the value feels similar. Would like to hear from some glashutte original owners.

Is there a way I could replace my current caseback with the clear exhibition caseback in Los Angeles area?

Schön und verlässlich
