I am putting up for sale my 2007 Glashutte Original (GO) Sixties Senator 39mm x 9.4mm Glashutte Original Sixties Senator SS dress watch
Whats included:
GO watch with original lightly worn Louisiana Alligator Strap and GO buckle
Inner and outer Box
Information/Guide booklet
GO Registration Card
Wood Loupe
Hang Tags
Cleaning cloth
Asking Price: $5200 OBO (The only trades I might entertain are: PAM; Rolex Sub 16800 or 1680 or GMT 1675.)
(Optional ----- I would also include the Vintage GUB that I have for an additional $300 - the two are a perfect pair as you will see in the history of this watch.)
The pictures below tell the story of its appearance and condition. It is in excellent condition. It has definitely never been polished. Just very well taken care of. The watch runs and operates as it should. It is hard to represent the dial colour accurately in the photos. It is more of a silver colour than it is white.
A bit of history
Glashütte Original*(GO) as we know it today, was founded in 1994 by the privatization of VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe , or short GUB. After the Russians took control over the Eastern part of Germany, shortly after World War II, GUB was formed in 1951 as an East German conglomerate comprising all*watch companies based in Glashütte. Today GO produces*its own movements, and their watches are in the higher echelons of the watch market. Glashütte Original is currently owned by the Swatch Group.
At the 2007 Basel GO introduced the modern Glashütte-Original Sixties Senator that was heavily inspired on the vintage model, the Glashütte Uhren Betrieb (GUB) hand-wound watch that was made during the GDR period. The new model shared much of the vintage looks especially the dial and the fonts used.

Here are some more detailed photos
Some details:
The caseback has a sapphire crystal to show you the caliber 39-52 movement. The movement finishing is really nice and features so-called Glashütte ribbing (the German equivalent of Côte de Genève) on the three-quarter plate, balance cock and skeletonized rotor. The latter features a 21k gold oscillator weight, for improved inertia, and is adorned with the Glashütte-Original double-G logo. The watch is regulated by a swan-neck fine adjustment. The caliber 39-52 is a self-winding movement. Although Glashütte Original is part of the Swatch Group, these movements are in-house developed and produced.
On the Wrist
The Glashütte Original Sixties has a nice wrist presence, with its relatively simple design and large dial. It is a very clean looking watch. The typography of the numerals reflects the original GUB and hugely influences the design of the watch. The alligator strap that comes with the watch wears great and is of high quality, as you expect for watches in this price range.
