Incoming! Glashutte Original Senator Excellence

I'm really happy with this purchase (my second GO), bought used, but essentially unworn as far as I can tell, for what I consider to be a bargain price for what it is. Not the most exciting of designs perhaps, but it's classical(ish) elegance was just what I was looking for. The movement is beautifully finished and, apparently (but I don't claim to understand why), quite impressive technically. After two days of wear it's still bang on accurate to the second, so I'm certainly happy with the results of that "technology"! At 40mm in diameter and 10mm thick it fits my seven and a quarter inch wrist really well, and is very comfortable.

Stunning. I have been eyeing that one for some time now. My taste has been changing towards finer looking watches like your GO.

Very nice - I have owned a GO and whilst flipped after a short time I did enjoy the watch. Good strategy buying preowned
