Aaah, the blue sapphire and the Le Corbusier...
Both high in my wish list.
But this one is very nice, too.
Agree with you on the XXL case. At first sight ( and maybe a bit after 
it looks really big. But you get used to it.

Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945, Ref 25880
Friends, one of my latest additions is the Vintage 45 XXL with small seconds, Ref 25880. I have always been averse to the XXL case assuming it is really too big. And some versions like the XXL Chronograph are indeed too big for me. However, Ref 2588 I had...

That is always frustrating when you fall in love of a watch but this one is too big for your wrist. Nevertheless, I can imagine how happy you were when, finally, one fit to you in the collection
For instance, from my side, I fell in love of the AP Millenary 4101 in steel and I bought one even if I knew that it was too big for my wrist (42x47mm). Big mistake finally :-( I would like to see AP offer a smaller size such as (40x45mm or 39x44mm). I wo...
Or even worse, if you fall in love with a girl that's too tall for you :D
Thanks for your input Alkiro.
Great addition!
Have tried the sapphire dial one and it was not too big for me, so I understand what you are saying - it feels very comfortable on the wrist in spite of the size. Really like the vertical brushing on the dial - a lovely detail! And the red 60 seconds mark...
That's interesting
My wrist is not very big and I found the time-only or the blue sapphire comfortable in terms of size. It is so curved and has very short lugs that nothing sticks out. Now there is one small detail that may be the culprit. I removed the deployment buckle a...
Beautiful, CC!
A real gem. I am looking forward to a picture of this watch with a blue strap. Congratulations!
Thanks Padj, strap has been ordered
it is a very dark blue, so very subtle, will see if it comes out well on photos.
Congratulations!
This is a nice one. Definitely not too big even if it does look so initially. Very comfortable as it wraps around the wrist too!
LOL, Yes, a schedule....
One watch for two weeks....seeing that this week just started and the 1945 is up on my list after going full circle..... Until I get bored and rework the rotation ;-) I seem to derive most enjoyment by wearing each one for at least two weeks, unless I'm t...
Stunning, my friend!
Again, congrats to this beauty! Yes, the problem with GP is to settle for which version to go for. Always so many options... Best Blomman
The best thing with that problem, my friend, is
what ever you choose, you will end up very happy with it
Look at it and you feel like living in the late fourties
A watch you can dive into it and forget the world for a moment. Congratulations to this great looking watch!
I had the opportunity to take some wristshots yesterday
so I though I append them to this thread. CC ...
