My Glashütte Original

Now this is a watch. Many, including yours truly, believe the SeaQ Panorama Date, is superior to the Submariner. You can see and feel the difference, including a beautiful exhibition case back that reveals a stunning in-house movement. Now they have dropped the polished center links -- a great move! Polished center links were a major issue with many, if not all, YouTube reviewers. Those scratch magnets are gone and the entire bracelet is brushed perfectly. Nothing not to like about this stunning timepiece.

Such a great watch. Although I wished it came in a fully brushed bracelet when I bought it, I really have come to love the PCL’s. It just doesn’t look right without them. Glad you enjoy yours.

Is the bezel hard to turn. Mine was.

Not as easy as a Sub; however, not that difficult.

Beautiful watch. Congratulations. The full brushed bracelet was a great move.

Beautiful piece. Did you also get one of the nylon straps?

Beautiful watch. I have looked at them and have not decided which on. I am not a TT fan but the TT they do is nice.

Congratulations!

I am not sure you just got it, can't derive that from your post but I presume so?

I love my SeaQ and agree, it is on a different level than any other diver.

The only one coming fairly close is a BP.

There is no better finished diver imo.

Congrats! I had always overlooked the SeaQ until I was able to see and try one on in person. It is an amazing piece. I am currently debating between the SeaQ Panorma Date and the Chronograph version. Unfortunately, the Tourneau I was at didn't have the chronograph version for me to try on.

This is a beaut for sure.

I really like the two tone, but a part of me really wished there was a bracelet option as well, meaning a two tone to match the case.

A full gold on full gold bracelet would be nice too.

I’m looking at the two tone at the moment, presumably I could buy a steel bracelet from a dealer? I see that they only sell the two tone on nylon or rubber.

I have the same experience with my SeaQ 39.5. It's very hard to rotate, I'm assuming it constructed that way. Maybe over time it will soften.

Stayed with the original bracelet, too good looking and comfortable to change.

Here's the Brushed

Much better than the PCL. Looks like a real diver now.

It's intentional..... during a dive, you don't want that bezel rotating by accident. Some might say that's an intelligent move, others.... literally the definition of turning a bug into a feature lol.
