Clueless_Collector shares the exciting unboxing of a Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL, a watch that had long captivated him. This acquisition, initially inspired by a post featuring a woman wearing it, ultimately became a gift for his 'boss,' highlighting the watch's broad appeal. The post captures the joy of receiving a new timepiece and the communal spirit of sharing such moments.

As usual, I opened it up without delay...

This one has been in the reviews and I'd mentioned before it is haunting me for long.

Then my "boss" saw it on Blomman's post of a women wearing it and she wanted it.

I have to adjust the links later and will order the blue leather strap as a future option.

I'm sure she'll allow some wrist time for me

There it is, finally.

I can stare at this dial forever. GP did a superb job with this version.

Thanks Blomman, I had to read, re-read all your posts on this between the grey or blue dial...

I remembered back then, I was torn between the Daytona and the grey dial, then I chose the Daytona. We know how it works here, get both! Thank you for the nice reviews. Rgds Raymond
