One of my favorite in my collection. Does anyone know what kind of steel the watch is made of? It is virtually scratchless. My Omegas get scratched easily, so does my new rolex; however the Glashutte has not a scratch. Not even the tiny annoying ones.

Haven´t you heard about German steel?

I believe it´s the same as Rolex, 904L.

I am guessing 316L steel, but I don't know for sure. Most of the industry uses 316L steel, including Omega. Rolex uses 904L and as far as I know, they are the only company with this difference. But if you find a bit more definitive answer, let us know.

You are correct Haakon, I check it with the GO HQ and
they tell me it´s 316L they use for the watches.

You can't be right because the watch absolutely doesn't get even the smallest scratches.

You're lucky, because nearly every pre-owned one I've seen has scratches. It is, after all, steel.

If it was a reply to my post so did I get the info from
The Glashütte Orginal Factory.

So it can´t be wrong.

One feature I especially like about the GO line is that their big date models are very legible so you can read the date at a glance. Plus, I have heard several comment the bracelet is quite solid feeling on the Sports Evolution model. Sounds like a wonderful watch.

Perhaps you could post a pic of the scratchproof steel GO.

I was looking at that watch today. It is gorgeous!

You might check with Fox's Gem Shop in D'twn Seattle, if you care to try one on. I don't know if they have one in stock at the moment, but they did last time I was there. The new version with the black background in the date window is even nicer, IMO.

I might do that. The last few times I dropped by they didn't carry it in stock but they may have changed their policy on this since then. Regardless, I would love to see one in person.

You might have to ask them, as I noticed they didn't have all of the GO watches in one place. Hope you like it!
