Glashutte Original Sport

Not sure where to post this so here's a nice one to appreciate. Not really frugal but by Glashutte Original maybe it's close. Seems to be around 1998.

"Glashütte Original Sport Stainless Steel Automatic Men's Watch / Caliber GUB 10-30"
Ebay. $3835.37 plus shipping. There is a similar on chrono24 around the same price.

Funky - never seen one like that.  I wonder if it's a fake? 

[priamo]

Good question. Here's a similar but different model from a 2011 article here

Seems to be a high beat movement.

I have never seen that before, it does seem sort of cool. I am just weary of the hands and the overall shape of the bracelet, I just would not guess Glashutte to make something as such.

I'm a GO fan generally, and I think it's kinda ugly. Also keep in mind this is a modular chronograph movement, so a module stuck on top of a base automatic movement, and not a fully integrated chronograph. Service will not be easily obtained and you will likely have to go through Swatch to get it done.

Very good info. What about the blue 3 hander? Seems that would be a standard iteration of automatic 10-30.

Nothing modular in that one, but I suspect arts will be an issue to get. I have a Swatch parts account, but anything above Omega is still restricted, so you can't get parts for brands like GO, BP, Breguet, etc. so this would still go to Swatch for service likely.

Those is the first edition of Sport Evolution and Sport Chronograph, they are legit but not so cool IMHO.

I like my Sport Evolution much better.

^^ That is the quintessential GO in my book.
