Girard Perregaux

Friends, Last week a friend of mine showed me this Gyromatic from the early-mid 50s. Gold plated top, staybrite case. Screw down case back and inside is the Cal GP 47 (based on ETA 1256) 18000 vph. Ref 6250, very similar to Ref 6169. Very nice! I tell hi...  

Have restored the dial, luckily their spelling skills do not match...! ;) Best Blomman

Good one, CJ! ;) Best Blomman

My G Y romatic Girard PERREGEAX , rare.....very rare :-) Ciao Giuseppe ...  

LOL! Another great spelling champion! :) Thank you for joining, Giuseppe! Best Blomman

If not misspelled I don't think I would have spotted the repaint... Best Blomman

only to mess up a spelling on the dial! Hahaha. Good spot detective Blomman. :) One of the reasons why I don't go vintage (yet) is my fear of getting fakes/frankens, etc. I am a wimp :( Cheers robin

Your are smart! ;) Na, the vintage area is totally different from new/modern watches. Either you like it or you don't. But if you do, you better read before buy! :) Best Blomman

that you hardly ever find franken Gyromatics, but refinished dials are common. I've owned a dozen and am selling out.

Mostly repainted dials. Best Blomman
