Two atrociously expensive educations in NYC... I had to re- order some priorities over the last couple of years.

is that titanium?Originally Posted by anon
Thanks. The watch isn't titanium, but a bead-blasted stainless steel. The bead-blasting gives it a flatter look that is reminiscent of titanium. The down-side to this finish is that you can't buff out scratches, but I think a few scratches are appropriate on a tool-watch like this.
i beg to differ.. the date functional does not look appealing...Originally Posted by ginlimetonic
looks like a wart on the face... ugly
I might have preferred a round date portal like those on Bell & Ross watches - it would make the face look a little more refined. However, given how large the hands and numerals are, I don't even notice the date when I read the time. I do like having the date function there when I need it.

^ Very odd comment. I understand you dislike the logo but don't see any connection whatsoever with Ed Hardy or other ephemeric fashion brand. If anything, it's in the line of an old tradition of luxury good makers in Europe (see Chanel, Gucci, Vuitton, etc...)

So, is it just me that is a little disappointed in GO? This is the first time I've seen them in the flesh, as I live in Flyover, USA.Originally Posted by vbuskirk
I think they are really lovely watches. Here you can see a pic of mine:
They are great. I think that the problem is that some people compare them to Patek Philippe, and they are not.
Of my watches, this in the top 3 of compliments.

Gorgeous Dornblueth there. I have yet to see one of those in person, but they look absolutely great from the photos I've seen.
