Monthly reminder that we'd like to see a Watchfinder breakdown of hand styles and their origins/delineation. I don't think anyone else would do it justice.
Same, the macro shots on the movement also showed quite a bit of unevenness. Still better than the average Rolex and nearly on par with the overrated PP 70s budget model that shall not be named. A Grand Seiko quality controller would gently recommend seppuku though.
I find a speck in front of “5” at 8:47 as well. East German quality, I guess. In East Asia, this would be considered unacceptable for a $500 watch let alone two more digits added to it.
@@machikr Maybe citizen wouldn't...but Seiko totally would. I'm gonna give GO the benefit of the doubt here, this may well be something Watchfinder's watchmaker did.
Although not everyone seems to appreciate the presentation style, I love that this channel understands the power of story. Long after the specs of a watch are forgotten, it is the story that endures and inspires. Even when I'm not interested in a given watch being reviewed, the great narrative draws me in and I learn something in the process about a piece that would have never gotten my attention. Well done.
I always love these wonderful videos. As a watch enthusiast for 50 years, they are not only educational and inspiring, they provide a safe and calm harbor from a world seemingly gone mad!
It's a good day when Watchfinder releases a new video. It's so clean. The printing is crisp. The dial, cut so finely, and the underside of the seconds hand, so well finished you could flip it upside down and it'd still look gorgeous.
Love GO (Panomatic Date Lunar, SeaQ, these!) and love the effort that goes into the research. More on the history and context of watches please! Explains so much about their style and meaning
Great Point Mike G. It’s their style, but very annoying. They produce videos for watch nerds, not the basic fan. I guess they think we know all we need to know.
I am facing a similar choice. But have decided on a GO. I am choosing to own a unique timepiece that stands out from the crowd. I’m not motivated by return on investment. It’s based on my emotional response to this watch. Will enjoy and appreciate for years to come. Thanks to WF&Co for the excellent review.
I also bought a SMP300 in 2020. This year I'm heading for the GO Seventies with silver dial and the bracelet with the nice quick-adjustment in the clasp
@Fabian Strasser I have an omega and two GO but truth is the difference in quality is like day and night between those two and I own the 007 milanese bracelet SP which is on the more expensive side of the omega spectrum and still can't compare to GO beauty
The world needs more positive, inspiring messages like this. The effort and history underlying the elegant design make this watch just that much more meaningful.
Another great review, Watchfinder, thank you. If an individual is even the least bit interested in fine watches, viewing Watchfinder is almost mandatory.
Thank you so much for continuing to raise the bar on watchmaking history. Every single other watch focused UA-cam channel pales in comparison (which I feel terrible saying, as there are some good channels out there - not throwing any shade out there, but goodness this is Harvard level content.)
I love a nice "TV"-shaped case from the 70s like the Omega Seamaster 176.005. I think I underestimated Glashütte's 70s models! Thanks for making me aware!
okay. I need to know how you did the power reserve shot! lol. Was it a timelapse of it going down and you just played it in reverse? or did you some how wind it super smoothly and filmed it going up?? NEED TO KNOW!! :P
Seventies chrono with blue sunburst dial with bracelet or Senator chrono with Matt black dial and full blue lume on traditional round case. So many choices.
I find the aesthetics of this watch really impressive. Such a wonderful model. I tried one on at the boutique and I found it too thick. I don't know if you had this impression too. Otherwise, brilliant watch and brilliant video
That watch has one hell of a calibre. Big date display, fly back chrono with column wheel, power reserve indicator. Glashutte Original just dropped their prices. Worth looking into although not a whole lot of jewelry stores carry them.
I love the classy presentations on this channel. Any chance of upgrading the uploads to 4K? What better way to show off all the intricate details of these timeless wristwatches!
I'm not one fot square watches(I find the Heuer Monaco ugly as sin) bar an integrated bracelet from Rado, but this slightly toolish 70's design is a bit of a stunner! Very complete too.
Having been a GP for some 30+ years, for me a watch is essential, if only to check a pulse rate (although chronographs are quite useful to record timing intervals eg when administering IV drugs, such as Morphine to patients with acute pain - allows me to keep track of how long since last dose given) I had a very basic black strap Swatch as a junior doc, but I was quite pleased when one of my patients spotted my current favourite [1] Aquatico Blue Angel watch last week. He’s a fan of mechanical movements so the Seiko NH35 scored high. I have a few patients with Rolex...... but somehow several haven’t even sized the strap so it sits loosely! And one with a Omega 300 wave dial. My favourite. [1] Other ones which get wrist time, Aquatico Bronze SeaStar with green dial and bezel, Citizen Promaster BN0150-28E (half price, mint condition from Amazon) and a trio of Casio Duro......black, blue and gold. So, nothing expensive at all, but if i could, I’d get an Omega Seamaster 300 first.
For all those on this thread that complained that the video did not provide details about this specific model of watch, maybe you all should not be watching @Watchfinder videos, clearly high end watch craftsmanship is not your interest, thats the whole beauty and value of this youtuber, im very sure that the brand specific websites can offer and list out all the technical details and specifications of their models. carry on @Watchfinder & Co. we get your video and style thumbs up!!!
I personally dislike categorizing watches by comparing them to overhyped models like every watch with an integrated bracelet is "a royal oak / nautilus from manufacturer x/y. I know it is just for the title but it seems as if they are the pinnacle of this certain design and every competitor is merely trying to reach it and it feels a little disrespectful to the manufacturer, i dont think Glashütte would have called this watch the german royal oak
Nice watch. It is ironic how this design looks so original in todays world! If I decided to buy a Glashütte this would be the model. Side note: Ever since I started watching this channel I enjoyed so much that I don't even mind watching some occasional commercials UA-cam forces down on us at the end or beginning of the video , but a Samsung commercial of 1hour right in the middle of this gentleman explanation!?!? Are you serious UA-cam!?
Great video and commentary as usual ! Many thanks ! I tried the GO in Geneva but felt the pushers had a bad actuation feeling for a high end column wheel movement. Have a feature request though. A beautiful ugly little duck from Omega: the Constellation Manhattan Hybrid chronograph ref. 1542.40 from the late nineties. A sleek little mecaquartz chronograph powered by a little known but high end and well decorated movement, the Piguet/Omega 1270, which allows for a thin and perfectly proportioned case and an equaly impressive dial layout. At about 2k in NOS condition, it's maybe the best kept secret in the highly popular integrated bracelet market.
Two things I don’t understand- 1) why GO doesn’t have more of a following , the seaQ is incredible for eg and 2) why tag heuer haven’t been promoting it’s Monaco with metal bracelet more . It looks so different on a bracelet.
I honestly can’t believe there are people complaining about this video. These are the best watch videos I’ve seen on UA-cam by a large margin, and we even get a history lesson. If you don’t like it watch something else 🙃
I'm new to the watch world (credit due almost exclusively to this channel occupying my shut-down time), and my first proper watch arrived right before the New Year. A mid-70s Speedmaster TV Dial. I love these wacky squared-off designs and would love to see even more featured here. Especially my Speedmaster, so I actually know what I'm wearing and enjoying so immensely :)
Thanks for your video.I just love to listen you.You are an amazing story teller.Someday make a video on Titan watches....how it become one of biggest watch manufacturers.
We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder
Monthly reminder that we'd like to see a Watchfinder breakdown of hand styles and their origins/delineation. I don't think anyone else would do it justice.
Yes
And dial finishes, and indices styles
Definitely!
Yaaaaaaaaas!
I am sure you can find good blog posts on it. I remember reading one years back.
Finally more Glashutte Original! Brilliant!!!
Love Glashutte Original but the finishing looked rough especially on the date font and power display? Anyone else notice?
5.57 top right power display
Yeah I saw that too

The GO Seventies with blue dials are gorgeous
There are too many chronographs to covet, and darn it if you haven’t widened the spread. What an incredible specimen.

Come for the watch, end with a history lesson.
Yeah, still waiting for their first actual review.
Every time the same thing....❤Deutsche Uhren
*Tell me about it!!!!*
It's a good day when Watchfinder releases a new video.
It's so clean. The printing is crisp. The dial, cut so finely, and the underside of the seconds hand, so well finished you could flip it upside down and it'd still look gorgeous.
Surprised to see the small defect in the power reserve window
It looks weird and cool at the same time
more weird i think so
Come back in another 40-50 years and this will probably still be stylish. Timeless...
If someone said “describe a 70’s watch”, I’d say this....
Love GO (Panomatic Date Lunar, SeaQ, these!) and love the effort that goes into the research. More on the history and context of watches please! Explains so much about their style and meaning
1:21 the synchronization of the second hand hitting 0/12 and the minute hand hitting 0/30 is one of the most gratifying things I've seen on UA-cam.
Oh, what's this? I asked for this AND got it? My 2021 is complete. Thank you Watchfinder!
Timeless beautiful piece with high grade profile and historical background.
Nice review as always. 👍
Another amazing, interesting history lesson!
Don't mean to offend but I wouldn't mind hearing some details on the watch you showed for 10 minutes.
It's the first ever Watchfinder video I didn't think merit a thumps up for the same reason
If you go to the website, you'll see it listed.
Same thing happened with the Heuer Autavia. Beautiful watch, and the entire video was a monologue about the popularity of Rolex.
Great Point Mike G. It’s their style, but very annoying. They produce videos for watch nerds, not the basic fan. I guess they think we know all we need to know.
@@CJ-rb3do Yeah, true
Oh man, its the exact GO model i wanted last year. Decided to get the Omega SMP300(which i love) but now this GO is haunting me 😭
You made the right choice. This GO is so niche that you’d get tired of it.
I am facing a similar choice. But have decided on a GO. I am choosing to own a unique timepiece that stands out from the crowd. I’m not motivated by return on investment. It’s based on my emotional response to this watch. Will enjoy and appreciate for years to come. Thanks to WF&Co for the excellent review.
@@CJ-rb3do how can yo8 get tired of a haute horology timepiece versus boring and machine made omega
I also bought a SMP300 in 2020. This year I'm heading for the GO Seventies with silver dial and the bracelet with the nice quick-adjustment in the clasp
@Fabian Strasser I have an omega and two GO but truth is the difference in quality is like day and night between those two and I own the 007 milanese bracelet SP which is on the more expensive side of the omega spectrum and still can't compare to GO beauty
Another brilliant video. Thank you!
Loved the story and the fresh take on watch history presentation. Stellar work!
Erase and rewind...this particular watch deserve much more! Even the no Chrono version is a fantastic watch!
The world needs more positive, inspiring messages like this. The effort and history underlying the elegant design make this watch just that much more meaningful.
Always loved this piece. Underrated. Probably better as a chrono at 40mm too.
I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. I love the history.
Most under appreciated maker out there
A rare case when 'underappreciated' or 'underrated' was used in a correct context.
I'd say Fortis is even more so
@@TechPanzer ...well Fortis is not in the same class I‘d say.
@@smashexentertainment676 G-S is first rate, and any watch enthusiast you doesn't appreciate that has a great deal to learn.
@@alexp3752 I.. wha??
I think this is one of the nicest rotor weights I have seen.
the watch was showed on the wrist for literally 4 seconds....
Beautiful watch! Nice macro shot!
Some Detail about the watch would be nice....yaddayaddayadda
Exactly! I love stories but recent watchfinder videos don't even talk about the watch that much. Not loving it.
But who really gets the technical details when he’s not a watchmaker..?
Another great review, Watchfinder, thank you. If an individual is even the least bit interested in fine watches, viewing Watchfinder is almost mandatory.
Always a treat to view your videos
I’d wear that over a Royal Oak any day of the week but I would prefer to be given an RO for the resale value.

omg it was the seconds hand, not the power reserve indicator lol.
@@colewalliser to be fair, i can understand how, having the reserve gauge in the seconds register, you might make that mistake. :)
How about reviewing a Zenith Doublematic? I have always wondered how they can put so many complications in one device.
They do a lovely blue dial version too. Very attractive watch to my eyes and a desirable alternative to the usual manufacturers.
Seventies chrono with blue sunburst dial with bracelet or Senator chrono with Matt black dial and full blue lume on traditional round case. So many choices.
I find the aesthetics of this watch really impressive. Such a wonderful model. I tried one on at the boutique and I found it too thick. I don't know if you had this impression too. Otherwise, brilliant watch and brilliant video
Love your channel and works. Just perfect to me. Learning the knowledge of not just watches but also history. Thank you.
That watch has one hell of a calibre. Big date display, fly back chrono with column wheel, power reserve indicator. Glashutte Original just dropped their prices. Worth looking into although not a whole lot of jewelry stores carry them.
The styling of that one is certainly not for me but I can definitely admire the beauty and craftsmanship. Stunning.

Glashütte Original definitely deserves more attention...
Please give review on Seiko SPB165J1..🙏🙏.. and suggest me best seiko presage watch please.
Having been a GP for some 30+ years, for me a watch is essential, if only to check a pulse rate (although chronographs are quite useful to record timing intervals eg when administering IV drugs, such as Morphine to patients with acute pain - allows me to keep track of how long since last dose given)
I had a very basic black strap Swatch as a junior doc, but I was quite pleased when one of my patients spotted my current favourite [1] Aquatico Blue Angel watch last week. He’s a fan of mechanical movements so the Seiko NH35 scored high.

This watch is insanely beautiful!
Always a great video, thanks.
please review the 2 tone seaQ panorama date!! Thank you
The limited edition with the fume dial is my grail watch
That one looks really great
Wise choice. Now, make it happen. Enjoy.
Beautiful. Like the 'silver' dial better than the anthracite version.
Have you ever considered doing a video on the old omega railmasters? Especially the chronographs?
Love your well studied and professional , historical articulate programs
I love this original seventies in green with the calf skin strap. One of the most beautiful watches ever made !
One of the best looking Square watches I've seen.
What a stunning watch...added to the 2021 wish list for sure.
Thank you!! Love to know more about this brand!
There is a great video on You-Tube produced by G-O on the brand, the watchmakers and the artistry, nearly an hour long.
Pardon, is this available?
Nice watch. It is ironic how this design looks so original in todays world! If I decided to buy a Glashütte this would be the model.
Side note: Ever since I started watching this channel I enjoyed so much that I don't even mind watching some occasional commercials UA-cam forces down on us at the end or beginning of the video , but a Samsung commercial of 1hour right in the middle of this gentleman explanation!?!? Are you serious UA-cam!?
My Glashütte watch from the 1970s outperforms my Omega, Longines, Seikos and others clearly. Super accurate.
Please look video at 0:26, 5:57 min => damage?
There are some rectangular watches that look so amazing, like JLC Reverso and this one. But I only choose to like circular dial watches, on principle.
The closeup on the panodate was really eye-opening. Both the printing on the date discs and the aperture are horribly executed.
would be nice if you showed us a better glimpse of the bracelet, something to think about for future videos :)
Very interesting video. It's made me respect Glasutte even more when you consider what they went through in their past.
You do such an outstanding job with you video

🤫🤫 let's keep it that way so we can afford it, ALS is out of reach for most of us but GO and Nomos aren't
I love it, but a little surprised it’s a 2017 model that’s shown and forsale. Not a 70’s watch.
Respect to the guys who fought thru.
this watch shape is amazing
I like it better than a Monaco
Wow I did not know all the East German watch makers were merged into one including A. Lange & Sohne. You always learn something in these videos.
I'd love to see a review of Fortis F43 Fleiger chronograph GMT . Or generally a Fortis watch..
I did not know of this model by Glashütte Original... I want!!!
I honestly can’t believe there are people complaining about this video. These are the best watch videos I’ve seen on UA-cam by a large margin, and we even get a history lesson. If you don’t like it watch something else 🙃
Fantastic watch. Would be very exciting if you check the SeaQ Panoramadatum. Maybe the best dive watch out there right now!
