The Glashütte Original Thread - Including Pics

[Al1969]

Beautiful watches everyone. You guys are serious enablers and got me thinking about picking one up. I reached out to a couple of members here and thanks for the referrals.

I’m interested in the SEAQ Panorama date on bracelet with the black/grayish dial.

Any chance someone here has one and can post some pics?

[DVR]

Don't hesitate, just get one!
You won't regret it one moment.

In fact you will come to realize nothing else matters anymore the first few days and after that it'll simply take over as your most important and no.1 watch.
Pictures are abundant in this thread. Just scroll back page per page. It's worth it.

No prob, we forum 'old-timers' have to stick together.
Just get one already, seriously, I have gone through +15 Rolexes, including full gold, the SeaQ is like from a different dimension.
It must be as they always say perfection does not exist in our world.

G.O. Bracelet arrived and sized. Pricey, but direct from Glashutte Original North America less expensive than from AD. (Accidental Pro-Tip) Thanks to a tip from fellow Forum member.

Does anyone have the Senator Chrono? I love the looks of it and everything, but just a tad concerned regarding the thick case (15mm, is it?)

With the matte white dial, gray fabric strap on deployant (plus 100m WR,) all around lovely!

It does feel like a totally different watch. The mystery is who makes the bracelet? Supposedly a Swiss company? Has a very unique push button clasp adjustment system. It’s built like a tank.

The push button mechanism looks very similar to IWC/ALS…definitely a shared source.

[Jocke]

Those bracelets are Swiss Made but I don't know the manufacturer. I buy one separate to my PanoMaticLunar and I have a current bracelet on my PanoReserve.

Yes the push button clasp is best in class micro adjustment and same as IWC as mentioned. I have my SeaQ on right now and just two seconds ago it felt a little tight and just one push and perfect again it's incredible.

I also love the sizing system (after admittedly staring at it for 30 minutes trying to figure out how it works). Would take that over screws and pins any day.

Pic of said SeaQ and bracelet:

For those with the bracelet - is it normal for the micro adjust to be able to “push in” (tighten) without pressing the logo button? I can’t pull it out (loosen) without pressing but I’m able to tighten it with or without the button.

That looks great!! I really love the bracelet on my SeaQ. Very comfortable, built like a tank (though it doesn't feel like it), and the micro adjust is the best. IMO Rumor has it that a satin/brushed centerlink version will be available this summer but I don't know when or where.

[DVR]

Normal, just look at the teeth and you'll understand.

Yep, that's how mine adjusts as well.

I made this ona a few years ago.

Much appreciated everyone! It seems that I need to get my eyes checked! The teeth are definitely angled. The entire clasp is truly built like a tank…love it.

Happy Easter.

Can i just ask is it relatively easy to source and change the strap on the SeaQ Panorama date, can get the bimetal SeaQ on rubber at a good price, but I would really prefer the nylon strap for looks and I generally get a skin reaction to the rubber/silicon style straps, pretty quickly

[DVR]

Yes, very easy!
They are readily available from GO and not expensive , around €170.
And someone who knows his job will change the strap in a few minutes.

DVR, good morning. BTW, I love your two GOs! A quick follow-on question. Do you have any details on how to actually source the nylon strap/clasp from GO? Is there a number to call or a weblink (I can't find one)? Thanks in advance!

[DVR]

Thanks, I love them too.

You can easily find a strap at any GO juweler

Did you need the clasp as well or does the rubber come with one you can switch over? If you need both I would email GO USA and someone from swatch will probably reach out and theyre great. I had my nylon strap and clasp in several days going that route after getting ignored for months from both my AD and the AD i bought from.

Phil, thank you. I need both. Would you happen to have the email address for GO USA? Thank you!
