awesome Wim, enjoy it in the new year. it still looks great on your wrist.

To me it is one of the icon watches of Glashuette Original and even better, without automatic

Nothing flashy. Pure "german style" watch.

Looks still good on your wrist

Congratulations Wim, your watch is truly great, imho the best watch from GO in general!

What I would like to know is, how it performs in everyday use (legibilty, understatement, power reserve etc.)

A little "test" would be awesome!

Magnificent shots of a magnificent watch, Wim!

I’m also glad to inform you that we finally got a GO AD in Norway. Visited him last week, and he had some really, really nice pieces in stock - for instance a Senator Meissen.

Hi Ferdinand,

it's a real coincidence but I visited a Dutch watchmaker today. One of my colleagues owns a very old Girard Perregaux and he asked me if I knew someone to give it a good service. So I visited the watchmaker and he noticed my PanoReserve.

He checked the watch out and here are the, very impressive, numbers!

an average amplitude of 300
0,0 beat errors (!!!)

and it was tested in three positions...
with the dial up it was - 1 second a day
with the dial on the side and the crown down it was - 1 second a day
and with the dial on the downside it was perfect, 0,0 seconds a day

the watchmaker was very impressed, this was very, very rare. I won't tell you which watch he was wearing but it was a 70K watch from a high respected Swiss brand...he showed me the numbers and that was +9 seconds a day.
the power reserve has an average of 45 hours, so that´s not bad at all.

the readability is great. First I had some doubts about the black hands, I preferred blued hands but the black hands are great. It depends on the light but one moment they are silver coloured and from another hook they are black and all between these two...

The crown is a bit bigger than on the most watches, it is great to wind the watch and your fingers don't touch the case while winding. I know, maybe exaggerated but you don't get the little hairlines on the case from winding the watch.

With a little bit more than 39 mm the watch looks great. I was in love with this watch when I saw it on the internet and in the cataloque but in the flesh it´s the best you can get for the bucks. IMVHO off course...

hope you like it Ferdinand!

thanks and cheers, Wim

Hi Frank,

how you´re doing my friend! good to hear from you and great that there is an AD in Norway! I never saw a Meissen ad one of the Dutch dealers I visited so far...Love that piece.

Just like the Calendar week one of my favourites.

cheers, Wim

that's pretty impressive wim, very cool info indeed.

for a GO Moderator to relaunch the forum in the midst of SIHH! I empathise with you, Wim . Your watch is a signature piece of GO, for sure, and a pleasure to look at (though I have to admit that decentrical dials are not yet totally my cup of tea) and your pics are awesome. Congratulations, that it is an excellent timekeeper, as well .

Cheers ,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

cheers, Wim

Thank you so much for the detailed answer, Wim! In my opinion it is a brilliant watch - I like the style very much. Ok, I have to admit that the Lange1 is a touch nicer than the Panoreserve,
but when one is looking for a steel watch there is nothing which comes close to it.

Best regards,

Ferdinand

Indeed Ferdinand, as said, under the 10K euro I really think this is the top in it's class...

thanks! Wim

I'm still waiting for the report on the unfolding of the previous contest! Do you know when the lucky winner will pick up his Sports Evolution perpetual or did I miss something?

Hi Take5,

no, you missed nothing!

Due to several reasons it was very hard to settle all the schedules at the same time. Since I'm not present when Phil collect his watch I'm out of the schedule settlements.
I believe Phil will travel to Glashütte somewhere in April. Off course there will be a full report of this happening and his smile!

So it will take a little more time than expected...sorry for that!

cheers, Wim

Great, that will be quite an experience for him! Can't wait to see the report

The obvious differences are not that big. The reserve indicator is more "classic" and the movement is more beautiful (imho). Unfortunately I have never had the chance to compare both watches.

Incredible... i am hocked to see i still haven't replied to this post

Wim, enjoy that beauty! And make sure it's on your wrist next sunday

it will Frank! it will!

cheers mate, Wim
