Hope they won't be forgotten.
I mean there are so many great watches made by GP, but unfortunately some of them are not known to most people. This is just one example.
Is Peter still around?
One of my favorite split second chronographs, the Ref 90170: For years, I was looking for this watch. Every time I searched on the net, I would always end up reading over once again PeterCDE's informative and insightful post at this wonderful forum: http:...
Both same number
Excellent!!! GP as its best Congrats Sincerely D P.S. Peter CDE missed but never forgotten
Holy smokes, Schen!
Two 90170s!!! This is a holy grail for me as well but never seen any for sale. What a magnificent pair. Keep coming back with more photos please. CC
Thanks very much CC
Really love your cool GP watches. Sure I will try to post more...
Haven't seen him posting any in years...
We miss him. But hopefully you would like to make us your friends! Congrats on finding your pair of 90170! Stunning photos of a stunning pair! Best Blomman
Missing all the old friends and glad to make new friends... :)
But hey Blomman, you are not new to me. I have been reading many of your posts and always enjoy them and have learned a lot from them. Best Regards, -Song
Glad to hear that, Song!
Always a lot to learn about our beloved tick-tack! Together we learn more and faster than on your own. Never saw the 90170 in real, so please show more of your stunning pair! Best, my friend Blomman
You have two beautiful pieces.
And your photographs are terrific. They make the watches come alive.
Wow Schen, you want me to die or what?
Wonderful catch, my friend. That is something I was ( and still ) hunting, too. For the beauty of the movement, its decoration, its sophistication. Yes, it is a long ream. I am very happy to congratulate you on this one. It was an eternity I didn't see on...
Thank you Nicolas my friend
I know you like this watch too because I have been following you all the time... and share the same taste as yours. It is a very hard to find watch, of very limited production, but after all there are a few in existence. Hope you will find yours very soon...
Just look at that case back!
A beautiful movement fitted in a elegant sports watch with the perfect movement/case proportion.
I share the same view :)
At least to my eyes, given my limited knowledge and experience, this is the best looking Venus 179 movement, well, after the top notch "treatment" by GP.
Hope they won't be forgotten.

I am 100% sure you are correct about that
as until your post I was only familiar with the Scuderia Ferrari rattrapante series. Even those are so nice I could imagine myself owning one, forgiving the fact it is co-branded with Ferrari (in general that would be a major turn off)
Congratulations Schen, what a pair of beautiful watches you have there.........
I have the automatic version and have been looking for the manual with the Venus movement for a while, unsuccessfully. It is a pleasure to see your. Kind regards Francois
Love this forum.... it seems like every time I check in, I learn about a
new (to me) and absolutely stunning GP. Thank you for sharing and congratulations!
