Better than Rolex - Glashutte Original SeaQ Panorama Date

[@NDN_FTR]

That date change is amazing! Rolex is the girl you date, but Glashütte is the one you marry.

[@farnoodshabafroozan4968]

God damn man, you said perfectly, exactly! Rolex is a toy in comparison to Glashütte. I have 6 Rolex's but when I wear them I'm not excited, but when I wear one of three Glashütte's of mine, for each one of them I feel differently. After 8 years of owning them I can't convince myself to sell them or trade them 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I bought one today as well. I swap it with my Ressence type 3 throughout the week.

Different league, indeed. If I’m not mistaken, these are adjusted to 6 positions and come with a hand-written report card of their chronometry. Not to mention that GO have their own dial factory, which also supplies A Lange & Söhne etc. huge fan of the brand.

[@roymorrison6713]

I too remember discovering Glashutte Original with such enthusiasm 10 years or so ago (pre Swatch takeover) and was equally wowed when I got my first senator up and down. The comparison between Rolex, JLC etc. is perfect Adrian, as I regard GO as the German version of JLC. Certainly not in terms of the calibre catalogue (JLC, I think have well over 1200 calibre's to their name) but the quality and attention to detail is right there. Brilliant review and loved the enthusiasm you showed for the brand.

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks for watching Roy. And it’s good to hear you had to same appreciation of GO. 👍🏻

[@julianread1996]

True masterpieces from one of the finest watchmakers in Germany.

[@hushhushhomerun]

Incredible watches. The movement and the finish is on a completely different level. The Submariner or any other Rolex diver doesn't even come close to the quality and value of the GO. Great video Adrian.

[@larssonnsx]

Ask yourself Adrian when was the last time you felt so excited about a Rolex? I could feel your genuine excitement for that watch. I totally agree with your comments about Rolex. I also own and have owned several Rolex’s but when I realise how common they are and see the type of people wearing them the experience is diluted. You are correct there are several watch manufactures that put Rolex to shame and the exploring new watches is the best thing about being a watch enthusiast.

[@farnoodshabafroozan4968]

Exactly. There are many watch experts who believe that Omega is much more better than Rolex & believe me my friend, I do insist on Omega's accuracy in comparison to Rolex. I think people made Rolex a God which is not. I've had many Rolex's models but I couldn't find that level of difference. All of them are the same, maybe Sky dewller has sth to saybut I believe it's just a brand it's NOT that timepiece which makes you proud

[@AnchelRaphael]

Love you for being so open minded and still enthusiastic about different brands and their watches.

[@barrycolmer324]

I have a current dislike for date windows, except when the Germans do them. They make them a real feature instead of trying to 'sneak' them on the dial. This date window has been executed perfectly for me. Great video.

[@balesjo]

I took notice of the date window at the beginning of the video, appreciating that GO designed it with independent digits.

[@sigberetta72]

Yeah I actually like the big date and placement

[@arielpolanco9445]

This is by far the best video on these watches that I have come across. It captures so well how magnificent they are. So much so, that it prompted me to go to nearest AD to try them in person right after watching it. All I can say is: this is the first time in a long time that I left the store so impressed with a watch. Truly incredible timepieces. Thanks Adrian, great work!

[@gilbertrose7147]

I commented on trying on the Bicolor 3 weeks ago and I find myself thinking about it, rethinking about it, and rethinking about it about yet again! This watch has the functionality of the Sub, the refinement a JLC Master Control, and the slight whimsy of a FP Journe. Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!!!

[@sdemosi]

Absolutely love GO. I have a friend who lives near Glashutte and it's La Chaux De-Fonds of Germany. Such great brands and watchmaking talent. If you want a GO then you don't care that you could have a Rolex or that it loses money.

[@nicholasbet4839]

As I wrote ..got my bi clour watch last week. serial # 90. I have a 20 cm wrist or 8 inches....and even for me it felt big ( at first ) as Im used to wearing my Submariner and Daytona. After 1 week Im used to it now. To be honest, its not even close to the sub in quality. The dial is wayyy nicer ( breathtaking ) ...the movmt far superior, the lums are way easier to read at night. I will say though, that I still wear my sub more often as its more of an everyday watch. I would not dive or go to beach with this watch. Maybe if I got the non gold version Id think differently. Its a KILLER watch. But as author says, they are not in the same league. I payed 11,500 USD for it after negotiating from an AD.

[@wisfanatic]

Shortly after release of the blue version, I visited an AD in Montreal. Without even asking, after trying it on, the Representative offered me 30% off and I declined. Regretting that decision lol.

I own the two tone SeaQ Panorama Date, and absolutely love it! One thing I don't think you mentioned is the precision of timing of the change of the date! The watch changes the date at between two minutes of, and exactly at midnight, and it changes which a snap! None of this slowly moving date that takes ten minutes to complete... at midnight, or just before, if you're awake and paying attention, you'll catch the numerals snapping to their correct position! The winding of the watch is firm and secure, the hands have no wobble when setting the time, everything about this watch just feels precise and secure! Truely an outstanding watch! Thanks for the excellent review (I know it was a couple of years ago... )

[@621jihoonkim]

[@leomore]

Adrian, I think you grew up massively in the way you look at brands, watches, the way you think and talk is just impressive compared to your first vids. I always liked your videos but you really stepped up. Congrats.

[@tomscott4438]

Damn you. Based on your video I decided to drive 90 miles to the closest Glashutte AD in Northern CA today. To complete my collection I've been on the hunt for a: great but undervalued brand, small production, sporty dress watch, in-house movement, first-class finishing, and a clear case back. Loved the dive watches, but the Glashutte Sixty checked all the boxes for me. Magnificent. How are these watches not 20% to 30% more? Seriously. Video doesn't do them justice. My only complaint (like I have for Grand Seiko) is the straps, but the AD seems more than willing to work with me on that.

[@WhatIsItReallyAbout]

Thanks for the video, Adrian. Great journalism as always. I first saw these watches over on Watch Advisor. He went into the factory and followed how they are made. From the content of the video, it's clear that Glashutte are several rungs up the ladder from Rolex. I'm getting more and more into the German watch brands these days. From Nomos to A Lange & Sohn, there's a lot to enjoy.

[@a-shaw-photo]

What a weird one. It’s odd that it’s a diver, to me. It doesn’t look like one as such and I can’t help but think they’d have made it more appealing if they’d gone for an urban daily wearer specs, rather than diver specs. It might have been a touch smaller, thinner and more refined.

[@sergezerkin]

Alex S it can’t ! The movement is huge ... they don’t keep the end product in mind but they make a movent and try to make watches around it. That’s exactly what ibm and how Steve Jobs fucked them in the ass

[@WAMwatches]

This is my goal watch. I’d been debating Blue or Green and your words, along with some others, are pushing me in the green direction. It’s a great understated color for an amazing watch.

[@mattmcd881]

I love these watches. I had the opportunity to try the more basic SeaQ 39mm last year when the hit my AD. The smaller watch just sings on wrist, but IMO it doesn’t have the tech to justify the price in the same way that the Pano Date versions don’t. Glad to see that you liked these watches.

[@Minny2Raleigh]

I just bought the black version on the bracelet. I have other luxury watches (including Rolex) but nothing can hold a candle to this one. You can tell the difference from the minute you put it and and look at the dial. Makes my submariner seem like a toy. I highly recommend the bracelet. The engineering and machining are fantastic. Jumpinjackflash said it best. I don't get excited about wearing any other watch but this one is different. Way under rated

Seeing submariners going for over $20k USD is speculative hype.

[@adventureswithtime]

The two tone is beautiful. I love how the crystal distorts the hour numerals. At first I thought it was the actual design, but then saw when you moved the watch around that it is distortion. I think that is amazing. I agree with you about the two tone having a better look to it. It's like the BB 58 (not the new blue one) with the hour markers highlighted in gold. This adds just enough elegance to the watch without making it too flashy. I'd love to try it on in person to see how the size fits me. Maybe I'll make a visit to my local AD to see if they have one in stock yet. Last year I tried on some of the other Glasshutte watches but this one is really great.

I own the Glashutte Original Sea Q Panorama Date in blue on bracelet and it absolutely is a few steps above my Rolex 116610LN Submariner. The 100 hours power reserve and finishing are noticeable upgrades and the case back allowing me to see the movement is icing on the cake. Discounts are available so don't pay Retail and unlike most Rolex dealers you won't get jerked around, lied to or treated like garbage.

Its a fabulous everyday watch, easy to read and the date is fab. What has amazed me is how comfortable it is on the wrist. I have a 7 inch wrist and this feels great. I still love Rolex but this is a step up. It has been plus 1 second every 48 hours for the last 4 weeks. Wow! I now forget im on my way wearing it and it atracts no negative attention.

A big part of the reason many would prefer a Rolex over this is because they want to brag that they have a Rolex. Those who need that ego boost are going to pick the brand that allows them to peacock. Those who care less about image and more about fine watchmaking are more likely to look into Glashütte Original.

[@slowmigo]

Perhaps they just prefer a Rolex.

[@arghjayem]

Hate to say it but if you’re spending 10k plus on a watch, whatever brand, there’s some element of ego in there. In this day and age there isn’t the need to spend that much on a watch even a diver. After all a seiko diver does the exact same job as a Rolex Submariner. Sure this brand isn’t as well recognised by the average person so you may not have people pointing to it and recognising it like you would with a Rolex but there is equally an element of ego in having a similarly if not more expensive watch like the one in this video and having nobody recognise it (a sort of OMG they have no idea how much this watch cost). It’s almost a weird paradox because the reason for buying an expensive watch is to preen to some degree or as an ego boost whatever anyone says no matter if it’s a Rolex, a Panerai, an Omega or whatever. The thing about a Rolex is, yes they are popular. Yes they retain value because they are popular and well recognised. But what most seem to have forgotten is the reason they are popular....a Rolex, be it a Sub, a sea dweller (my personal favourite particularly the 16600 or the 4000- anything but the 43/44mm deepsea types which are just ridiculously chunky) an Explorer is that they are classic pieces of design. Like an angle poise lamp or a chesterfield sofa. Yes Rolexes are widely bought (relatively speaking) but there’s a reason for it. And just because a product is “mass produced” doesn’t mean it’s a bad design often quite the opposite. But Equally just because a product is made in small number doesn’t mean it’s a good piece of design. There are exceptions in both cases but unfortunately this watch isn’t one of them.

@@arghjayem well, if it's about price-quality, I would prefer a Tissot Seastar over a Seiko: Swiss made, own (with silicium) movement 80hrs, ceramic bezel, Saphire cristal and 30 ATM. It cost 10 times less than a Rolex Submariner. But you are right 👍🏻

Last year one of my friends who's a watch collector too, offered me for a trade which I should give him my Glashütte Senator Cosmopolite in exchange for a Omega seamaster & a Rolex sky dweller. It means that I could give one watch but getting two watches of mentioned brands, but I didn't accept because as you said Rolex, Omega, Cartier and ...... they're watch brands but A Lange and Söhne & Glashütte are watch makers. They're high horology timepiece Gods. Except the bands & Sapphire glasses which are obvious, everything is hand made in house including movements, bezels & etc. I feel exactly as the same as you for Glashütte and there's nothing worth to replace it. When I wear my Glashütte I feel that I'm a different guy, much more confident & much more happier. You can feel the complexity of the watch movements. You can NOT compare Glashütte with Rolex, that's ridiculous & everyone who knows horology believes the same. Thank you for your efforts & I'm in love with the gray one too.

GO is an amazing brand and only if the 43mm was 41 or below, it would make it more approachable. Great video.

[@JosepHayes]

A welcome reminder that there is life beyond Rolex. There's no doubt that I'd proudly wear the stuffing out of either of these machines, not entirely sure I'd part with the cash to buy one though.

[@yaaxarr8977]

Adrian, I was drawling with the open back...it is impressive !!! Thank you the honest review and your comments about Rolex.

[@alimurtaza4110]

Interesting that you didn’t review the 39.5mm version which is a viable alternative for Sub/Gmt. People generally think that Rolex sports watches reign supreme in the mid tier luxury segment, below the likes of Nautilus, Royal Oak, and Overseas. Because of poor marketing on behalf of Swatch group that owns both Blancpain and Glashütte, only watch enthusiasts know about Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Bathyscaphe and now Glashütte SeaQ divers. Blancpain’s Fifty Fathom and Bathyscaphe and Glashütte’s SeaQ divers give tough competition to Rolex sports watches and beat them on many aspects, brand recognition and value retention aside. I hope you review the Blancpain two diver lines and the 40mm SeaQ diver in the future. Great video.

[@FazerWiz]

I'd have a Glashutte over a Blancpain any day. Blacpains's heritage is almost entirely re-imagined, there is only the merest shadow of their former self in the current company which is largely an exercise in marketing. Glashutte however is 80% of an A Lange & Sohne... for 40% of the price...

[@tomscott4438]

Could not agree more. My local AD (ok he's 90 miles away) sells Grand Seiko, H Moser & Cie, Bremont, Zenith, Omega, Blancpain, and Glashutte Original among others. When you ask to see anything from the last two the clerks smile because they know you know your watches.

[@rage8kage]

That instantaneous twin disc date window is amazing. The people who don't like it must have a think about what they really actually like abOut watches because this is one of those watch making pinnacle things. Maybe what you really like is just a brand name or some ad placement and watch makiNg is just a side note

[@thedarkone2444]

Purchased the Glashütte original senator observer a few weeks ago, absolutely beautiful watch. Plus with watches like Glashütte you can work and get a discount. I'll also give a shout out to Nomos Glashütte, another beautiful watch for the money!

[@ulrichschnier307]

I had the two tone on my wrist. INCREDIBLY beautiful watch. Had an INSTANT crush on it. Such a shame that the 43,2mm is simply too big for my wrist. Would have spent the 16.600 Euro for it without a second thought. Actually I was quite sad, that I could not spend the money ... INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL watch 😍 And I'm a BIG Rolex fanboy myself.

[@mikepaul2372]

Folks are buying Rolex as investments and turning them into profits. Is the Glashutte better? Yes, in my opinion. Too many folks just grabbing Rolex and selling. Amazing that I have owned and purchased many Rolex watches and I am still waiting for the Hulk Submariner for over 1 year. AD's doing shady things with friends on side for money. Great video and awesome watch.

[@sergezerkin]

Better is what way ? Please mention

[@noutubenamesleft]

I know what your saying mate. But depends if they like you or not, I had a fair amount of email contact during lock down but this month went in for the first actual physical time and was offered one after they'd spoken to me for half an hour.

[@Penny2105]

Glashutte is better in every way!

[@juanj.3549]

Wow. Say no more. This is the First time I see the SeaQ. You just changed my purchase decision: from Rolex Sea Dweller to G. SeaQ. " And that's the bottom line, cause..."

[@kleppig]

I'm a proud owner of a Glashütte watch and I love everything about it. Especially that only watch enthusiasts know what I'm wearing.

[@j.burgess4459]

Nice watch that. EDIT: It can be a dangerous slippery slope to move beyond Rolex, though. In my case JLC to-> Blancpain to-> Patek Philippe... Now I'm not sure anything less than F.P.Journe would feel like a new frontier. (Only half kidding...)

[@SpencerCookertin]

I'm so happy you went with the truth, they aren't in the same league and this is why I love watching your video bc you speak the truth.

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks so much mate. I really felt the need to address that as I knew so many would try and compare these to Rolex. 👍🏻

[@jollyrob]

Everyone bleating on about losing money on the Glashutte clearly can't afford the Rolex they're going to have to sell eventually.

[@mrfuriouser]

Truth bomb!

[@DigitalPRCourses]

Haha truer now than ever.

[@entroheat]

I somehow fell in love with this brand obtained the blue 39.5mm and the bluish sunburst squarish 70s panorama date as well two beauties that surpass anything else I ever wore

[@Tonysoprano497]

Quite simply a different league .. I spent some time with their watches around a year ago and you can just tell they are pretty special . If you have no interest in the whole mass brand recognition thing this is the way to go with regards quality ..

[@thomasneddon]

Been eyeing one of these for a while now. What else would you put in the same conversation? Blancpain FF, Grand Seiko?

[@TheBarts27]

Great watches and on my radar for almost a year now. I had it on the wrist a few weeks ago and it rocks. This SeaQ is not a competition for a Rolex sub. The finishing is way better, but you can compare this watch with a Blancpain fifty fathoms 5015 or maybe a Rolex Sea dweller. The problem with the SeaQ is the pricing. It will not hold it's value so buy the SeaQ because you want a beautiful and very good watch to keep or dont buy at retail without discount.

[@gilbertrose7147]

Today I actually got to inspect this watch in person. All I can say is WOW!!! I love my Subby but this is a Ferrari!!

[@dctrv3l3r78]

Couldn't agree more about the polished center links. It's like when I bought my Jeep and it had chrome rims. Immediately replaced them... immediately

[@1018Frankie]

Amazing watches, I like more the blue one and as you said they are in a different league than Rolex. Very nice video, keep the good work my friend!

[@ChrisBeckman]

Regardless of our personal preferences... we can NEVER stop learning and exploring other things out there.... Great Video Adrian! 👍🏻😎💨

[@michaelskinner896]

I just discovered this watch recently prior to seeing this video. But I had already decided that this is what I want. I'm a fan of the blue with the steel bracelet.

[@leodoro8877]

Strikingly attractive watch! Glad to see your thumbnail is healing well.

[@Greg-rq1yx]

The first real watch I owned was GO Senator Series Panorama Date, blue dial. Best in the industry adjustable clasp. Amazing under the rader wrist presence!

[@sdemosi]

Super watch. I have a panorama date with moonphase. Haven't bought a Senator Perpetual Calendar but I'll offload something else and get one.

[@jpdemer5]

My new grail - I love everything about this watch, except for maybe the sheer size of the thing. Unfortunately, I doubt they can make it much smaller, given the diameter of the date wheels.

[@balazsgalambos4458]

Amazing watches, amazing video,love the editing,the music,the whole atmosphere,well done,keep them coming please

[@doppelwrist4658]

Managed to get ‘rolex’ in the title. Nice work. 👍

[@MrThehardway]

Every reviewer/salesmen puts Rolex in the title or mentions it in the video...heavy is the head...

[@taylordoo0077]

Owned a pml once for about 9 months before falling out of love with it and selling it. No regrets!

[@Udansha]

The bracelet is now all brushed steel.... Its a gem!

[@vaughanatkinson8421]

Value wise, what you are getting from GO is a movement produced as it should be....its not a mass produced item...its a watch for those that really appreciate horology and are not just buying into a brand, a big difference!!
