I got the same case for my SeaQ. My PanomaticLunar came in a nice box.

Looks like an upgrade to me. Is this stuff real leather? The "leather wrapped" boxes were a freaking scam. I complained about that to my AD, as the inner boxes started to flake and come apart with use. If you have a real leather sleeve, consider that an upgrade.

Still, that's a long shot from the wooden boxes that once came with all models.

I think the leather travel case/box that comes with the SeaQ is pretty nice actually. Most of the boxes that come with watches are pretty cheesy. Rolex boxes as an example are pretty lame.

Yes actually it is quite nice. It just seemed as though it was an accessory item or some GO swag for dealers to give their better customers. Guess I was just surprised they are moving away from the traditional "watch box". In fairness it is more practical. Is GO doing this for the entire line now or just the SeaQ?

Just saw your post.
It's the best finished diver money can buy. It wears great and it keeps excellent time. Highly recommend.

The Panorama Date version of the Sea Q is so nice. Beautiful watch. Congrats!

I honestly believe large, lumed, Arabic numbers should be mandatory!

My GO Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date in Fab Green and bracelet just came in. Got the call from the AD, and I hope to have that in hand very soon.

Can't wait.

I must admit, although I have a gorgeous Seventies I feel a little jealous

I really love that green and congratulations are in order.

Thanks! The shade of green is better than in the GO stock photos, which make it look much duller and dark.

Very nice, I like how they displayed the month, quite distinctive (on a dial design that was already non-conventional).

In the previous few photos, the hands look black, but they aren't!

Here in our GO thread I can happily admit I am extremely happy with this watch, the shape does not make it 'everybody's friend' but for me it is a masterpiece.

One of the absolute highlights of my 'watch life'.

Yeah I can't think of a better way to incorporate the month feature than what they did.

Yeah, this is a very cool watch. Hoping to try it on this summer in Amsterdam.
Glashutte has produced quite a few impressive new references and colors the past few years. They really have hit a stride!

They just nail the details. Like first glance I was thought strange they didn't go with gold for the small seconds hand. Now I look and see how the blue balances with the moonphase just like the gold minute/hour hands balance with the date window. They are just masters.

I had the same reaction to the blue hand and then reached a similar conclusion!

Flipping through a magazine today and this one caught my attention. On a rubber strap this would be great. IMHO
