Back on the wrist

[Guppydriver]

I’m thinking of picking up this Senator Excellence at an excellent pre owned price. Doesn’t have the OEM strap, but does have the GO clasp.

Two questions.

1. Do you guys think this watch could be worn casually or is it more of a dress watch ? (10 mm thick) I would like to wear it more as a casual piece since I love three handers.

2. I love Erikas Originals , but may order the OEM synthetic strap (without clasp or buckle). Any guesses what that would cost.

3. Anyone have experience with this line ?

I can only answer the first question, yes absolutely it can be worn casually as can any dress watch imo
I wear my diamond bezel Rolex Cellini ( apparently a tuxedo watch ) with a T-shirt and jeans and looks great to me, brown ostrich strap instead of black alligator makes it look so much less formal

Beautiful watch, I support a potential acquisition!

I was recently in contact with GO reg. the SeaQ. The synthetic strap for the SeaQ is EUR 180 (see image below). In addition, you can also see the prices for the different buckles.

Cheers

Thanks for the post. I love the watch, I think I'm going to the pull trigger. Normally I'm not a "buy the deal" kind of guy, but I've been really enjoying no date three handers. If the cost of the watch precluded me from buying something else, I'd probably pass, but this will get me excited for another GO!

Plus 100 hour power reserve, pretty impressive in a 11mm watch.

Was wondering where you’ve been! Did you need to rest your GOs for a minute?

Yes...GO for it! I have one and love it. It's my favourite daily.watch. i work in a casual environment...scientists and engineers...and love it. It's exactly what i wanted...three hands, classic but casual, understated and a fun / cool 'geek' movement. I bought mine new at a discount. For what they go for second hand, to me, it's a no brainer. They also work well on the 20mm nylon straps for the SeaQ for even more casual vibes. Don't worry about not having the orginal strap...great quality but to thick and bulky...nearly feels like 6mm. Those straps from the ad look.great and you can find plenty of other options if wanted. It's a strap monster for black, brown and grey tones. GO, GO, GO

No, not really but I admit not wearing the SeaQ for some time.
But if you look at the previous page I posted other GO's 3 times.
Now wearing the BB FF

Exactly right on all counts. Also have this same watch and probably the most worn strap watch I own. Casual but classy. And 100% on the original strap being too thick for this watch IMO.

Seventies LE 2023: Golden Bay and Ocean Breeze , 100 each

Damn, that salmon-ish dial one is nice.

The Ocean Breeze is too close to the Tiffany blue dial limited edition they came out with not too long ago.

I still prefer my Fab Green fume, but every time they come out with a new limited edition dial color, I get FOMO.

They should make them all limited editions.

Recently acquired my first GO and I’m very pleased. I am looking to get a slightly more sporty strap for it. Lug width is 19mm. Any suggestions? Thank you.

[ChaseATX]

The recent Senator Chronometer release looks amazing. The zero reset on the seconds as well as the snappy minute setting is pretty incredible functionality.

Anyone have any experience with this reference in general? They’ve been out there since 2016 so hoping for real life feedback.

This is another example of why I love GO. Their watches always seem to surprise with interesting complications. And for so many other reasons.

How's the SeaQ Panorama wear? Anybody finding it too big or too thick? Considering a SeaQ or SeaQ Panorama.

[DVR]

Not at all but of course depends on personal preference and wrist size.

I might be joining the GO club tomorrow. I will be viewing the Blue dial GO Panomatic Reserve at an AD. I’m expecting at least 12-15% discount which will make the price more bearable as GO does not fare very well on the secondary market.

These look amazing

EDIT: I just went to their web site … anyone here own one of these? I’d love to hear any feedback

I'd aim for at least 15% percent. There are other AD's you can work with virtually to get you 15% (and possibly no tax). Make sure your AD is aware of that. I believe in buying local when able and will even pay a small premium to do so. BUT I expect them to earn my business by at least being competitive.

Nice watch BTW...

Any particular reason you enjoy the reserve over the lunar?

I own the Fab Green dial version (non-LE).

I love this watch. It's unique in the field of luxury chronos in my book. Yes, there is the Monaco, but it's not my cup of tea. The GO is much more refined in my book and the finishing is very good.

The only caveat is that it's big. Both in terms of thickness and width due to the square shape. But if you have the wrist, it's an awesome watch.

Also, GO really cares about it's customers. They know who they are competing with and want to put their best foot forward.

Thanks for that, really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

I'd love to see one on person

Just looking at the detail of this Pano cityscape edition. It’s not my cup of tea per se (both financially and aesthetically) but the detail is amazing. Check out the little birds on the sill.
