    I got hands-on with the 2019 Glashutte Original SeaQ Panorama Date in steel and the new 2020 SeaQ Panorama Date bicolour (two-tone gold). The SeaQ range from GO is a luxury diver, they are like a super-refined Oris Divers SixtyFive (65), or a more elegant, more vintage-inspired rival to the Rolex Submariner, or Rolex SeaDweller. If you are thinking about buying a Rolex Submariner or Rolex SeaDweller, especially if you're buying grey market at a premium, then you should check out this alternative. The value retention won't be the same as with the Rolex, but you will get so much more watch for your money. A technically better watch too.
    SPECS:
    - 43.2mm wide case
    - 15.65mm deep
    - high domed sapphire crystal on the front as sapphire crystal case back
    - screw-down crown
    - 300m of water resistance
    PRICE:
    Blue dial in steel: £10,400
    Bi-Colour on nylon strap: £12,700

      What a weird one. It’s odd that it’s a diver, to me. It doesn’t look like one as such and I can’t help but think they’d have made it more appealing if they’d gone for an urban daily wearer specs, rather than diver specs. It might have been a touch smaller, thinner and more refined.

    As I wrote ..got my bi clour watch last week. serial # 90. I have a 20 cm wrist or 8 inches....and even for me it felt big ( at first ) as Im used to wearing my Submariner and Daytona. After 1 week Im used to it now. To be honest, its not even close to the sub in quality. The dial is wayyy nicer ( breathtaking ) ...the movmt far superior, the lums are way easier to read at night. I will say though, that I still wear my sub more often as its more of an everyday watch. I would not dive or go to beach with this watch. Maybe if I got the non gold version Id think differently. Its a KILLER watch. But as author says, they are not in the same league. I payed 11,500 USD for it after negotiating from an AD.

    The two date wheels are what make the size of the numerals possible: You can make the numerals large when you only have ten of them around the circumference. Squeezing in thirty-one numbers requires the tiny numerals that you see on 99% of date watches.

    I too remember discovering Glashutte Original with such enthusiasm 10 years or so ago (pre Swatch takeover) and was equally wowed when I got my first senator up and down. The comparison between Rolex, JLC etc. is perfect Adrian, as I regard GO as the German version of JLC. Certainly not in terms of the calibre catalogue (JLC, I think have well over 1200 calibre's to their name) but the quality and attention to detail is right there. Brilliant review and loved the enthusiasm you showed for the brand.

    You are correct there are several watch manufactures that put Rolex to shame and the exploring new watches is the best thing about being a watch enthusiast.

I think people made Rolex a God which is not. I've had many Rolex's models but I couldn't find that level of difference.

  • @adventureswithtime
    @adventureswithtime Před 4 lety +5

    The two tone is beautiful. I love how the crystal distorts the hour numerals. At first I thought it was the actual design, but then saw when you moved the watch around that it is distortion. I think that is amazing. I agree with you about the two tone having a better look to it. It's like the BB 58 (not the new blue one) with the hour markers highlighted in gold. This adds just enough elegance to the watch without making it too flashy. I'd love to try it on in person to see how the size fits me. Maybe I'll make a visit to my local AD to see if they have one in stock yet. Last year I tried on some of the other Glasshutte watches but this one is really great.

Loved the dive watches, but the Glashutte Sixty checked all the boxes for me. Magnificent. How are these watches not 20% to 30% more? Seriously. Video doesn't do them justice. My only complaint (like I have for Grand Seiko) is the straps, but the AD seems more than willing to work with me on that.

    One thing I don't think you mentioned is the precision of timing of the change of the date! The watch changes the date at between two minutes of, and exactly at midnight, and it changes which a snap! None of this slowly moving date that takes ten minutes to complete... at midnight, or just before, if you're awake and paying attention, you'll catch the numerals snapping to their correct position!
    The winding of the watch is firm and secure, the hands have no wobble when setting the time, everything about this watch just feels precise and secure!
    Truely an outstanding watch!

    A big part of the reason many would prefer a Rolex over this is because they want to brag that they have a Rolex. Those who need that ego boost are going to pick the brand that allows them to peacock. Those who care less about image and more about fine watchmaking are more likely to look into Glashütte Original.

      Hate to say it but if you’re spending 10k plus on a watch, whatever brand, there’s some element of ego in there. In this day and age there isn’t the need to spend that much on a watch even a diver.
      After all a seiko diver does the exact same job as a Rolex Submariner. Sure this brand isn’t as well recognised by the average person so you may not have people pointing to it and recognising it like you would with a Rolex but there is equally an element of ego in having a similarly if not more expensive watch like the one in this video and having nobody recognise it (a sort of OMG they have no idea how much this watch cost). It’s almost a weird paradox because the reason for buying an expensive watch is to preen to some degree or as an ego boost whatever anyone says no matter if it’s a Rolex, a Panerai, an Omega or whatever.
      The thing about a Rolex is, yes they are popular. Yes they retain value because they are popular and well recognised. But what most seem to have forgotten is the reason they are popular....a Rolex, be it a Sub, a sea dweller (my personal favourite particularly the 16600 or the 4000- anything but the 43/44mm deepsea types which are just ridiculously chunky) an Explorer is that they are classic pieces of design. Like an angle poise lamp or a chesterfield sofa.
      Yes Rolexes are widely bought (relatively speaking) but there’s a reason for it. And just because a product is “mass produced” doesn’t mean it’s a bad design often quite the opposite. But Equally just because a product is made in small number doesn’t mean it’s a good piece of design. There are exceptions in both cases but unfortunately this watch isn’t one of them.

      @@arghjayem well, if it's about price-quality, I would prefer a Tissot Seastar over a Seiko: Swiss made, own (with silicium) movement 80hrs, ceramic bezel, Saphire cristal and 30 ATM. It cost 10 times less than a Rolex Submariner. But you are right 👍🏻

    Love this model, have always thought it looked great. Big fan of the date window, like the fact it's not just a simple date at 3. Although I think I'm in the minority of people who get annoyed at no date watches and couldn't care less about dial symmetry or balance

    I own the Glashutte Original Sea Q Panorama Date in blue on bracelet and it absolutely is a few steps above my Rolex 116610LN Submariner. The 100 hours power reserve and finishing are noticeable upgrades and the case back allowing me to see the movement is icing on the cake. Discounts are available so don't pay Retail and unlike most Rolex dealers you won't get jerked around, lied to or treated like garbage.

    Hey, I was on the fence about buying the Sea q panorama. I now have the watch, the blue variant on the canvas strap. Its just wonderful and comfortable and I have not taken it off since I got it. Its a fabulous everyday watch, easy to read and the date is fab. What has amazed me is how comfortable it is on the wrist. I have a 7 inch wrist and this feels great. I still love Rolex but this is a step up. It has been plus 1 second every 48 hours for the last 4 weeks. Wow! I now forget im on my way wearing it and it atracts no negative attention.
