I officially joined the club today

My GO finally arrived this afternoon after a week's wait.
Opening the box is always fun no matter how many times you've done it and it's like Christmas very time. This is the fun part of this hobby and finally the box I wanted to see after emptying all the peanuts and wrappings. I was exhausted already!!
Then out came the inner box.
Just when I thought it's down hill now.................................what? More?
OK, OK..............Removing another box one more time would be a breeze since I already came this far.
This was the moment I have been waiting for................to meet my new addition the first time.
A lot easier on the eyes with the plastic wrapping removed. My heart started to beat faster now. Wow, the date was correct even the watch was not running, is it a coincident?
Time to pull it out for close examination.
Beautiful watch!!! A real hand made piece from Germany and costs a lot less than ALS, also from Saxony.
Oh, the movement!!! I can stare at it all day long and it is the first watch I have with a micro rotor.
I love the swan neck, really amazing to look at. Sorry for the crappy picture.
The moon and the stars!!
Love those blue hands. What do y'all think?
The sub second.
Unlike ALS, GO big date window comes without the divider because GO actually aligns the date wheels side by side whereas ALS date wheels are not and has to use a divider to cover up the step. I am sure y'all already know that.
I am glad I decided on the 39.5 as it fits me better than the new PLM which is at 42mm.
More wrist shot while my dog was trying to steal some attention.
I noticed the area inside the strap is polished instead of satin finished.
Here are the comparison shots.
The deployant.
A shot of the 21K rotor.
Another picture of the movement.
More of the watch.
Hope everyone enjoyed the pictures and thank you for sharing my excitement!!
