Got mine at the AD in Blue with a fully brushed bracelet but I wear it on a rubber strap. Finishing is a level above my GMT Master 2. Nothing beats an in-house movement compared to the lack luster quality controls in current ETA movements. Keeps better time in all six positions versus the Master 2. Daily wear for me so no need to wind, ever. Best, not an attention grabber at a distance but up close it is a scene stealer compared directly to a Rolex.

I own this same watch purchased from Wempe in NY. I simply adore this piece simply because it's a true unique design and extremely well made. I tried on the bigger brother but it wears to big even on my 7 inch wrist, it wasn't huge at all it's that it's tall at 15.5mm. I find that the 39.5mm version is the sweet spot for me.

39.5mm is a large watch. The 5 digit Subs we’re about that size. I believe the original Subs were more like 38mm.

I own both the Oris 65 2017 in all steel including the bracelet and the Glashutte sea q . Totally different watches from top to bottom. From unscrewing the crown and hacking to setting the time and winding, the GO is amazing. The Oris 65 is a nice watch, especially the 2017 with that translucent dark blue edge on the dial it’s gorgeous indeed. The Sellita SW200-2 on the Oris is okay, the Soprad A10 smokes it escially when winding. I had plenty of time to return my GO back to Wempe and I just could not do it. Amazing watch. I put the GO with my recent JLC Polaris Marine Date. Well, close.

My money would go to the Oris tbh, your'e getting a rather functional watch (it has an ISO certification which many people don't know) and it has a movement that is easily serviceable. Of course the biggest thing, as Adrian mentioned in the beginning, is the look of the watch: the 12,3,6,9 with the dimensions of a vintage rolex sub on one of the best interpretations of a rivet oyster style bracelet is really hard to compete with. At the end of the day, you just have to go your own way ;)

I don't quite understand why everybody keeps comparing this watch to a Rolex Submariner when the obvious point of comparison should be a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Also, a dive watch does not need a display back. It's another potential weak point which could compromise the water resistance. Fair point on the 40 hours power reserve, though. I prefer the blue version, as I can do without the fake patina.

Power reserve isn’t something I lose sleep over. In my opinion, 50-70 hours is sufficient. If I need more, the watch isn’t getting enough wrist time. Super long power reserve watches sound great on paper, but to actually get the thing to full reserve is another matter. You either need to wear it daily all day or spend a substantial time winding the watch and at that point, the purpose of the extended PR. becomes self defeating IMO. I have an El Primero with fifty hours PR. For a 5hz movement, that’s pretty good though I wind up winding it regularly- I wear it daily, but not when I’m most active. I’ve got a Railmaster too, that’s worn to work. As I recall, the PR on that watch is accurately reported, but I don’t even remember what the duration is anymore nor do I remember the last time I wound it. All my other watches sit mostly no amount of PR could keep them running. This GO is designed to be a daily wear for certain. Look at the size and proportions it’s about perfect far better for most people relative to the larger GO diver. It’s a true tool watch aesthetic and as such, not having a sapphire caseback is completely en point. The solid caseback likely contributes to the wearability ever so slightly. My El Primero has an exhibition caseback and a nice movement, probably not as visually impressive as this watch, I rarely actually look at it. I probably take it for granted. At the end of the day, this watch makes for a nice complement to the larger edition. Perhaps what I’d like to see in this smaller size is a no date edition. With respect to GO having a dress watch slant. I think they simply lean towards high horology at a reasonable price.

To me the power reserve is a non issue. I you park a watch to wear something else and its mechanical.... well you wind it up by hand or on one of your wolf winders, they still lose time! My AD for my TAG (sorry, most hated brand) did a quick wind up after a service, so mechanical quirks are something you have to live with. I do prefer the pana date version though with the see thru back. It lays cable on a rolex too and worth the money!!

I've never really understood the importance of long power reserves. If you take off your watch and a day later it's still running and around the correct time then that's fine if it's a daily wear. If I leave if for two days then there's not much hardship in having to set the time and winding it. The whole point of mechanical watches is the interaction with the movement; getting to wind it and set it is tactile. If you want a long power reserve get a quartz.

The design of the case and the bezel reminds me of the Seiko SPB051J1. Obviously, the dial and the caseback are very different however.

The preference toward display case backs, especially those with beautifully finished movements, is a very new trend and I don't think it should be a requirement to justify a high price tag. This model is a freaking home run. I just wish the lume color was white.

I think if you are german and rich you go for this watch or maybe a rich collector, but we the limited buyers that struggle to buy a 2000 to 4000 £ watch we will go for an Omega, Tag Heuer, Breitling, more or less...to be honest I will be more than happy to buy a Steinhart Ocean One Vintage 103-0294 and with a Bark & Jack strap, pure beauty.

I want to like it as i respect GO the watchmaker, but I find the numerals to be cartoonishly large on the SeaQ - but less so on the SeaQ Panorama Date. And I agree, for that money there are so many choices...and one has to be a dedicated GO enthusiast to choose the SeaQ/SeaQ PD over other exceptional watches at that price point.

Hi, considering the price point how does the fit and finish of the Glashutte compare to that of an Oris 65? I see a lot of similarities. Really enjoy your content...
@BarkandJack
@BarkandJack 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Gaurav, this GO is far superior to the Divers65 with regards to build quality, finish and engineering. It certainly has similar styling to the 65, but when you hold them, they are worlds apart.

In both Glashutte reviews you talk about this watch being on a different level to both Tudor and Rolex. But on what basis exactly ? Is it finished any better than the Rolex? Does it keep better fine than either of them? If the watchmaking is on another level, what exactly does it do better than the Submariner or the Black Bay / Pelagos ?

It’s the finishing and engineering. Rolex finishing really isn’t great. In fact I think it’s terrible for the price. Especially when GO, JLC and Grand Seiko are in the similar price banding and their finishing is far superior. If you get the chance, look at the edge of a Rolex hand through a loupe. It looks rough. Also there are plenty of examples of alignment issues with Rolex. The level of engineering in the GO is higher than Rolex with regards to the bezel, bracelet and clasp.

Hi Adrian, For £12k would you take the Glashutte over a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms? I can't think of anything else at that price point that would tempt me if I was given £12k and told to only buy a dive watch.
