Lovely set of watches
I'm becoming really tempted for one of these GP watches. Nice to see them "on parade". Regards Kev.
The problem is....
for reasons I fail to understand, GP don't seem to have much of a presence here in the U.K. So it is very difficult to see them in the metal or, of course, to try them on. Perhaps I could borrow one of your beauties for a year or two to see how well they ...
I understand, Kev
distribution is at best sketchy in the UK. The one big store (no names but you know which one) on Regent St has a good supply. You can also check the GP website and search for ADs. CC
Yes, chronological order
and growing up with time. The XXL can be consider (too) big, but with those curves and shorter lugs it still fits surprisingly well.
Really like that Vintage 45 quartet !.. that 2599 + 2580 are specifically appealing.. amazing size diff 2593 vs 25880..
.. Very nice Tides of Time.. Best & HAGWE, dear friend !
And the evil question...
Which one do you like best? Like asking which child one likes best
Very much an evil question, however...
I mentioned it before, the 2593 is very much me, but that does not mean I like the others less.
Wonderful lineup, my friend!
Thank you for this family shot! Still amazed of how well GP managed to keep proportions and comfort of the case in all the different sizes. Brilliant! Best Blomman
You're most welcome :)
They way they managed to keep the proportions right is indeed very well done and also the comfort is not lost with the larger cases.
Spectacular!
If we aren't including the very high end triple bridges/constant escapement, the vintage 45 are my favorite from GP. GP really have some special here! Among these my favorite is the 2599. Thank you for sharing the family shot! Sincerely and Respectfully J...
Thanks Joseph and
I agree with you. The Vintage 45 line-up is a very special rectangular watch with very sensual curves and there are many different styles and complications to choose from. CC
great family my friend
my preference is for the 2580 black dial but all your watches are fantastic my GP collection is very poor compared to yours
