Not just possible, a certainty.

The Panoreserve is not near as popular as the lunar and it is certainly not a "hot watch". I honestly don't see an AD walking a sale even at 20%. I wouldn't buy for any less than 15% off.

I always recommend buying local when possible But if it doesn't work out, there are options.

That's what makes GO so appealing right now. Look at the SeaQ Panodate. On paper it's more than a Rolex Sub and takes some flack for that. Real world though, pretty much the same price IF you can get the Sub at retail. Most people who own both (even if they prefer the Sub), will readily admit that the GO presents as the higher horology piece.

Very interesting. I’d really love to see them in person. The closest AD to me is in Canada, otherwise I’d probably have to go to NYC or Chicago. This is good to know once I’m ready to pull the trigger. I’ve been pondering saving up for a Seamaster, Speedy, FC Worldtimer, and now a GO.

You can get 10% to 15% off GO, including new models like the Fab Green Seventies Chrono.

Although seemingly not in the UK, I did push hard for a discount on a SeaQ PanoDate in London and was literally told they would not discount at all.

But yes in the US it seems a pretty easy negotiation!

I put a request in for the GO catalog on their website and it just arrived. I’m not even a customer yet and they sent it for free. Some other watch companies should take notes.

It’s nicely done.

Sinn did the same for me. Some watchmakers do, some don't.

That's beautiful.

The one thing that irks me about the Seventies Chrono I have is that there is no quick set date feature other than the stylus required button on the side.

This should have a crown operated quick set date.

Thanks! I had the blue dial chrono as well, but it was somewhat top heavy due to the extra case thicknesses. This wears a bit more like a DJII or VC Overseas.

any folks own the Senator Chronograph Big Date?
i'm totally in love- i'd have one on my wrist if the dimensions were a tad friendlier; the black dial with the blue indices & lume on the synthetic strap+deployant is killer! (plus the fact that its a flyback chrono - icing on the cake)
