Of those two, I prefer the GO mainly because I think it is beautifully balanced. On the IWC: I do not like gap-toothed dates at 6:00 at all, the highly blued numerals, and the red PR. So in IWC I far prefer the Portugieser (automatic, unless you really want a chronograph).
Dornblüth & Sohn also make many superb iterations of the marine watch, many complication combinations, various case materials, printed applied numerals, etc. All of them are beautiful.
Caliber 99 or Q-2010.2 up & down
Caliber 99.2
Quintus 2010.9
Caliber 99.4
Caliber 99.5
The date on the GO is indeed better.
I prefer the applied and blue indices of the IWC though.
The Dornbluth watches look nice but I'm not particularly interested in a small brand, especially since it would more or less be impossible to see it before owning it.
