have just bought an sport evolution chrono last friday from local jewellers. Gave great discount. Very elegan watches. They are one of finest watchmakers. I may get one of their senators in future.

They make truly beautiful watches. Asterix has one on here, if he pops up and posts a photograph you may have to change your trousers.

They are exquisite pieces and are highly regarded.

They are lovely, lovely watches and certainly in one of the top tiers of watchmaking. Personally I find the GO designs just a little bit fussy and can't quite come to terms with them.

I do have a Union Glashutte, which is the second brand of GO, and generally rather simpler styles. Unfortunately they have recently moved to using ETA movements in the UG branded watches and made the designs much less elegant in my opinion, which has rather ruined the brand for me.

GO are still fully in house.

Here is my UG:

stunning.

Glasshutte, IWC and Seiko SpringDrive are my desired "top end" watches - all manage to pull of quality, technology and understatement perfectly.

You've chosen a perpetual day date moonphase complication ceramic watch by one of the most respected firms out there - I thought they'd be in the five thousand bracket but I was well off as well!
What's your budget?
