Greetings, I have a GO chronograph and I'm thinking of switching to the BP Big Date chronograph ( Baton markers style) because GO does not offer that double complication. I was wondering 2 things: If you notice the BP Leman BD (big date) has solid hands t... 

your hands Peking-Paris 2007 - LE 134 per colour If you don´t like them, I would recommend to ask in of their boutiques. Oliver ps: Readability in the dark will be worse ;-)...  

This is the watch I'm talking about. The number comes from the BP website

is the watch I'm referring to. The classic chrono style. The ones you showed me from GO I was aware of. Out of my $$$ range. I was comparing the GO Nav Chrono and the Navigator Panorama date. regards, JM

. . . and of course, I remember your intrepid adventures with the cal 39 Senator chrono . . . cordially, Art

The GO has been a great watch. So much better than that oxidizing Blue Wave I had ( the anodized blue screws were turning red in the mvmt). It might be hard to break away from the swan-neck adjustment. It was easy to regulate that brand. The BP appears to... 

. . . wasn't able to find a formal review, Jeff. There are a number of posts, but nothing comprehensive . . . perhaps one of the denizens of this forum will know where to look and be able to offer guidance. Cordially, Art This message has been edited by D... 

might contribute an opinion of this time piece. I guess I'll start w/ the movement. The BP website gives the 69F8 as the movement for the Ref. # I mentioned in the technical data. When I select movements from the BP menu that movement number is not there.... 

The "69F8" is is a little weird as it seem to primarily refer to the Calibre FP 69 module, which is the "big date" component of the watch. I believe for the rest it is a Calibre 1185. You can find both of these on the Frederic Piguet website. The date mec... 

I'll probably see if i can purchase both the Bracelet and the strap. I had a close call a few months ago by reaching into my car to get something and brushed against something. It was just enough to cause the strap to come apart from the stitches at the c...

... any good watchmaker at the large AD's can get the lume off the hands (they all are skelletonized and lume is only filled in between the metal), you can leave lume in the tips of the hands so that the night readability is still given. I had the lume re... 

That is good to know. The lum is then press fitted in such a manner. I though it was attached to a solid surface underneath. So, a BP service or an AD could do this for me. Thanks again!! Regards, ~jm

So those who live close by the region won't be disappointed. They made room for lesser quality brands in their store. And now my adventure to find this piece begins. They still had A Lange's and they were fantastic. Sorry about being all over here w/diffe... 

It 's in my earlier posts of the past if your are still curious who the culprit was. Regards ~jm
