Girard Perregaux

I will get a GP, one day, it is clear to me.

 


The problem is which one...

I ow,ned the Vintage 45 Chrono ref 2599, as well as a WW TC in white gold and an Evo 3 with the carbon dial.

I sold them all to get an heavy piece, and to say all, I miss them a lot, specially the Vintage 45.

So, I have the Vintage Chrono in my mind, as well as a Vintage 45 One Gold bridge, with the ruthenium dial, or anyn other 3 gold bridges.

I guess the budget will be a problem, though...

Regarding the Big Date, yesn it is also a very appealing one, my friend.

The thing is that you already own a GP, when I don't...

So, we don't have the same things in mind: You, to compliment the superb GP you already have, me to " make my come back " to a brand I love a lot.

I would very well see you with a SS Chrono Vintage 45 Ref 2599...

Best,

Nicolas.

Tempted by a Vintage 1945 large date

Hi, Since I tried back a few Vintage 1945 models at the last SIHH I keep thinking of getting one. The variety of models makes it hard to choose a favourite (although a one bridge tourbillon would be ideal) and I'm still thinking. There's one model though ...

Hi Nicolas, Indeed we 're not in the same situation. The 2599 is a very tempting option but I'm annoyed by the fact that the chrono central second ring is cut twice by the counters. I'm more looking at simpler options (25805, 25835) or a off-centered (tha... 

Why not?

Hi Nicolas, A perpetual calendar with EOT would not be bad either (although it's alarger case). The 99850 is a favourite of mine, i white gold with cream dial would be perfect, but that's another story. A simple large date would be more "probable"! Cheers... 

I like it...

But I particularly like the Girard-Perregaux ref. 25845-52-741-BA6A, Vintage 45 XXL Off-Centered Hours And Minutes. I hope to try it on one day. Regards, Richard.

Yes

Hi, It's an awesome watch if you can fit the XXL size. It's pretty unique too. Cheers Dje

I used to own one....

Hi Dje, How are you? I sold the one I had which was the stainless steel model with the blue dial. It was a very pretty watch but I needed the money and I found that the watch was way too reflective for my taste. The hands are finished in polished steel wh...
