Girard-Perregaux Chronometer HF, Ref. 9086 FN, a vintage review

Thank for this nice review and congratulations on what the Easter bunny brought!

A few things... The last picture, the family picture, is just crazy. The condition of yours is stunning. The size is perfect, and the blue dial mesmerizing.
Add its chronometric value, and you have a keeper. Best, Nicolas
What a nice line-up & review !.. That blue 9086 is magic with its different dial hues..
Your quartet, of course,is simply great ! Thx for sharing & your so nice pics ! Hs. PS: Congrats to this new arrival of course, needless to say, a winner !!
Fantastic blue dial HF!
Love it. And the 4 together too!! The fume HF says ‘Hi’ 😉 All the best. Giles. ...
Thanks Joe. For me a close contender together with the linen structure dial 8795
Of all HFs, there is also the Railtimer and the grail, the Observatory of course...
