Do you ever see a watch and think no way
And then it just sticks with you? Sings to you?
This is all Jocke’s fault for replying to my other thread about the PanoReserve. I am now really quite taken with this piece. Everything about it sings to me after I all but ignored it. Grey industrial look, great size, finishing is outstanding. What really floored me and we all know this, when you hack a movement the balance wheel stops. Except on most watches that is on the underside even if the watch has a display back. On the PanoInverse I hacked the watch and the beautiful balance wheel just stopped. I knew it would but found it fascinating to see anyway Really close to grabbing this one as I love all the interesting and unique things about a watch with the movement flipped upside down.

Congrats OP, that timepiece sings!
PS: Jocke needs to be banned! He 'made me' order a Laine for my wife. :)

That GO is awesome. My brother in law wanted a nice watch for medical graduation and he ended up choosing the regular non inverse blue dial. You try it out in person? The only thing that gets me is they are terrible to get a hold of, been trying to get info on sending one in to get serviced and they didn't respond after 5 attempts. Great watches though

Great watch, enjoy! I love GO.
That always happens to me - the watches (and women) that I initially can’t stand are the ones that I end up loving the most in the long term. |

I really apologize for all the divorces I have created, but I only mean well when I want to be involved in you getting a decent watch.

I’ve always liked this GO. Definitely one of their best looking models.

Jocke, was that the original strap it came with or is that someone else’s work? That strap is fantastic. I am looking at the current nubuck grey which is nice but I like your strap more.

The PanoInverse is one of my favorite GOs. Good luck with your decision.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone, especially Jocke with those incredible images. My wife says to knock it off. I am thrilled with this and will be doing a review once I am home and can get better images and spend time noting performance. This is a great addition to my ever changing collection. More changes to come as I pare down and sell even more but I like the direction I am heading and beginning to enjoy my watches more. Staying focused is serving me well and I have not regretted a single change. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My wife says I cannot talk to you anymore Thanks Jocke, love your images and I am thrilled (she is also happy but likes to play the part).

Yes, the Reverso. I abhorred square or rectangle watches, then a sales associate urged me to try on a Reverso after trying on the MUT. Now I can't get the reverso out of my head, I should have bought it on the spot... but I didn't.
And yes, Jocke is an enabler. I really want a GO SeaQ thanks to his great photos. |
