GP Deep Diver ref 8953 – small but sweet!
Friends,
I can’t help but thinking that it is a pity the Deep Diver ref 8953 isn’t bigger!
30 mm in diameter is too small for my wrist…
What I really like here (Vlad, please don't laugh) is the no date configuration.
The 3/6/912 gives the dial a very good balance.
Imagine a diameter of 39 mm, same as the ref 8867, but with no date.
Best
Blomman

Now, imagine GP releases such a diver, without date, 39 mm...
Hmmm? As a Tribute? Hmmmm x 2? Best, Nicolas
Yes, yes
a "Tribute to Deep Diver: or maybe in GP marketing language it would be a "Vintage Deep Diver", with or without date, positioned at the right price range, it would sell like sliced bread ;)
Instead of "hmmm" I would "MMMM"! ;)
Yes, a tribute in elegant size and without the date would be very interesting! :) Best Blomman
Yes, sometimes it's these smaller marvels.. Giving balanced pleasure...And a classical bezel ( actually like the mins 360 degr)
- Also just shows how much taste has changed.. The idea of a "Vintage" Deep Diver is a nice idea , straightforward dial (I don\'t mind a date here - although you guys are against such..); maybe with 39 or 38,5 ; different dial & bezel-insert colors, agres...
You would fall, my friend! ;)
Indeed that would be great to see! And I know your taste.... You would fall! ;) Best Blomman
