It’s weird, it’s too wide, and it’s AWESOME.

This is a beautiful execution of a perpetual calendar with a very clean and clear dial layout.

Congratulations.

Here’s one you don’t see very often. The bracelet is not very common, especially in gold.

I freaking love these watches. Particularly the hour counter window as opposed to a third sub dial. I love how it adds symmetry with the big date window at the bottom center.

Really like these, especially the blue dial. Are the bracelet/lugs proprietary? I think it would like great on leather or a Tropic.

Evening paddle around the lake with the SeaQ. The boat compliments the watch I think.

Anyone else wish GO would make a sport GMT based off the SeaQ or even 70's line?

They make the Senator with the airport codes which is awesome, but not really my vibe.

I would buy one in a heartbeat. It's interesting because the sport flyer GMT complication has exploded in popularity the last 5 years (I think it really started with the 2018 Basel intro of the Tudor BBGMT).

For the most part TSG has been pretty quiet (mainly speaking about Omega, what a missed opportunity as the PO is way too thick for many). The lone exception is Longines and wouldn't you know it, the Zulu time and Hydro conquest GMT have been extraordinary successes.

It's time GO... Please!!! A SeaQ with either a 24 bezel and GMT hand or a small 24 hour dial opposite the Panodate . They should have done this more than the SeaQ chrono IMO.

I really like these and the orange is my favorite one. If it was 2 mm thinner I’d already have one. And it’s possible someday I just go for it anyway. This is a really cool collection

On the wrist it really is OK. Thick, true, but not too thick. I like it. From all the watches I own this is my favorite model. It just has it all.

Don’t feel lonely. GO really is a such a bargain. I can’t figure out why they get overlooked by so many folks.

The orange is my brothers. I tried it on. Too big for me. He traveled to Seoul to buy it as the ADs he visited were snooty when he asked about buying one. One let him try it on, but would not let him purchase. I found that funny. He booked a flight to Korea the next week. He said buying watches there is downright pleasant as opposed to the demeaning act it has become here.

The other watches are mine.

Thanks my man, your brother and I belong to a club of 100. Happy he got one.
Your watches are nice too of course.

Thanks. I used to have the panoramadatum variant, but I eventually traded it for the time only. The size of the date version was just a hair big on me so I didn’t wear it very often. I wear the 39 mm time only often.

Regardless of size, I think the no date model is the way to go with this one as well as the orange. The dial is too great to be broken up by the date.

Question for the group: does anyone know what kind of discount is feasible when purchasing a Lady Serenade from a GO boutique in the EU? The model is priced around EUR 15k. Many thanks.

I'm not in the UK, but my wife loves the Lady Serenade, particularly the diamond bezeled steel and gold.

Without negotiating, my AD said he was sure he could do at least 20% off retail. I have a feeling I could have done better, but the timing wasn't right.

I'm a GO fanboy, but I will say that those ladies models sure depreciate like crazy. I'd say close to 40 percent the moment you walk out the door.

Good luck!

Thanks! Do you think the discounting policy makes any difference when buying from a GO boutique compared to an AD?
