I don't think we've had these on the cool wall before, so it's time for judgement day.
All photo's courtesy of Javier Franco and here's his review and for any interested Spanish speakers.
There's more great photo's too for those that don't

So what's it to be, Minimum, middle-of-the-road or maximum? I know where my vote lies.
Cheers,
Gary |

Hey its even got some lume too, can't be bad eh!
Cheers,

P.S. I think I prefer the cream dial version to the black. Less reflections and it'll wear bigger on the wrist. |

Er, John are you just lost for words? Struck dumb by the sheer beauty of it all is my guess

In the UK around £765 new Dave, probably a bit cheaper everywhere else as usual though.

My Spanish being crap to awful, I couldn't work out which measurement referred to the case diameter - was it 38 or 40 mm?
My sister in law is getting married soon - her fiance was rather taken with my Bremont - liked the size, colour, simple layout, chrono etc...
Maybe I can convince the family to pitch in and get him one of these - instead of a plethora of platters, trays and serving sets? I think he would really like it. |

It would be a lovely present but a cool watch is always a good bet. I am just servicing that beautiful NOS Hamilton (panda) which is being bought as a wedding present.
Great Choice! |

My Spanish is as bad as my English, but for what I read in the excellent review by Javier, 38mm is the hour only version, and 40mm for the Chrono version. A few months ago I was very tempted, even contacted Javier to get more info and almost bought it, but at the end I thought I did not want another 7750 at this moment, but rather try different movements. But a black dial chrono is always in the list....and may be best opton is go to german online sellers, like this:

And Gary, this late love has nothing to do with the GO Sixties chrono, right? By the way, somebody that saw the GOs live at Basel told me they looked better in the pictures....

Not a late love Carlos, I stumbled over these a few years ago and have always liked them. Never seen one in the metal though and the only review I've seen is the Spanish one. I'd love to hear more about them from owners.
The GO is in a different league entirely imho. The pics look amazing so I can barely imagine what they look like in reality.
Hope your little 'un gets better soon mate, sounds like you recognised the symptoms early.
Cheers,
Gary |

| Thanks for the helpful reply to my question. I am steadfastly refusing to look at GOs - that is a budgetary hit I don't need at the moment! |
