Thoughts on Glassute seventies Chronograph on bracelet

Those familiar, what do you think of it? Is it comfortable even though it’s over 14mm thick?

I have a similar question. I am more intetested in the non-chrono seventies watch with steel band. I only see them preowned. How does band compare to Rolex bands in quality/comfort?

It is a very nice, very large watch. My brother owns the salmon one from a few years ago. His wrist is 7" and i think it is large on him. It is comically big on my 6 5/8 wrist.

I am generally a fan of GO, but I wish this watch was scaled down 10 - 15%

Love everything about it except wearing it. It is very, very, large. If you're into the XL AP models, you'll probably love it.

I recall Omega produced models like it around the time. I imagine they're easier to wear.

I have the Fab Green model. I have both the bracelet (which is fantastic) and the calf-skin with double deployant clasp (also fantastic).

Love the watch. One of my favorites. I don't care that it's 14mm or so thick. Never bothered me.

It's one of the few uniquely shaped, yet fantastic looking, watches on the market.

Chunky but pretty darn amazing! I think it's one of the more underrated and overlooked integrated bracelet watches for sale.

A fantastic watch, one of my favorites. It’s big for sure but I find it to be quite comfortable for its size. Not a piece I generally wear under a cuff, but sometimes I’ll make exceptions.

Thank you for posting your photos!! I love the look of this GO model. Wish there was a dealer within driving distance to see one in person.
