As promised, here is my Vintage Chrono, Ref 2599
It is one of the greatest bargins on secondary market, I may say.
I tried to capture the curved dial, although it didn't show as well as I would liked.


Nice curved case which fits my 6.75" wrist extremely well

My only disappointment is with the tang buckle. Compare to some other makers, especially Lange, it is quite flimsy.
I don't know when GP changed to deployant buckle. But even their deployant is not as well constructed as others such as IWC and JLC.

A side to side comparison to my other large rectangular watch, JLC Reverso Grande GMT. From lug to lug they are about the same length.
Interestingly GP looks bigger here in picture mainly due to its greater width. However on wrist JLC looks a lot bigger, or longer. This is mainly due to the fact that GP's bezel is much thinner than JLC, expecially where the straps are attached. At least on my rather small wrist GP fits and looks much better with its curved case

Hope you like them.
Cheers,
John
