Girard Perregaux

Danke Peter - much appreciated!!

 


I have had the steel Sea Hawk for about one and a half years now and if it had the black hobnail dial, I would have worn it  much more often ;-) Even though I like the blue dial for it's changing appearance, I would really prefer the black dial so that it would become one of my daily wearers...

Any idea what a dial change would cost me here in Germany?

Well, the gold one is a beauty! I really like the grey dial as in your sketch, but only with the lighter brown croc - imho a wonderful match. My only concern is that I already have one Sea Hawk, but on the other hand I have 3 Panerais - so what ;-)

What I really like about the SH is that due to the position of the crown, it wears very comfortably. Also, the clarity of the dial composition is something I appreciate with this watch. Plus in gold it will be not as recognizable as other brands.

Such a shame that the brand has such a hard stance - completely unjustified in my humble opinion.

Cheers,

Christian

I have the SS with the blue dial, but I have to admit that I haven't worn it for months, but just after seeing your pics, I put it on my wrist... Right now, I am looking for a gold watch to complement my small collection, and I am considering buying the y...

question for Christian

Christian, in your post, you said its a pity GP take a hard stance, what do you mean by that? I'm about to acquire a GP Vintage 1945 and would certain like to know what other brand wearer think of a GP'er. Normally I wouldn't let that sort of things bothe... 

Hi, let me try to explain ;-)

Well, what I meant is, that the brand is not as "hot" among watch collectors and watch enthusiasts who collect more than one brand - e.g. most of the people I got to know in the watch scene collect Panerai, Rolex, Patek, AP, IWC, etc. and in this group a ...  

nice watch, Christian, your wife should be pleased

thanks for sharing your views and I agree with you. GP is a good brand but not as well known. Apart from the complication and tourbillon, I find it lacks the finish touch of say brands like Patek, A Lange & Sohnes and VC but they are a lot more expensive ... 

I agree with you, and just an hour ago

I talked to GP with regard to the dial change and some technical queries, and I was really happy with the information I was given. E.g. a dial change is possible (which with other brands is not possible or a real ordeal) and it is imho offered at a very f...
