It is still underrated at present, as reflected by the prices they fetch at auctions. This will change very soon, as GO are aggressively opening more and more boutiques in China. Looking back, the GO Panograph we both purchased seems quite a bargain. It now sells for double of what we paid. I visited the GO factory in 2007, greeted by the CEO at the time Dr. Frank Muller. He also went to Imperial College London to read engineering, like you and I did. Great minds think alike! ;-) Joseph On 28/01/2010 1:23 AM, "Frank Dernie" <Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com> wrote: > Joseph is, as always, quite right on the subject of watches though.
