If you can afford both and you don't feel they're redundant in your collection then the GP is certainly a beautiful piece to have. [nt]

Thoughts are demanded!
Mates, I am heavily thinking of buying the iconic GP Laureato watch with blue dial, the limited edition model: Courtesy from the web! This would be my first GP watch! My question is, what do you think of the future of this particular watch? I am asking it...
Have you considered the Royal Oak instead?
I think the GP is a nice watch but it feels like it's trying too hard to be a Royal Oak. So why not just get a Royal Oak instead?
Gorgeous. So on what occasion would you wear the GP over the AP?
I think I would struggle to give the GP wrist time if I had both the AP and the GP.
I think this is a fair question.
But then again, there are plenty of people who own both a RO and a Nautilus (or several of each!) so there's that
True, but I see competition...
...between the RO and Nautilus that I don\'t see with the GP.
You are internally consistent with what u like. Congrats.
The critique that the Laureto has too much of a AP-like vibe may not be relevant to u. If u will be buying to keep no need to worry about value. GP is a quality time piece. Maybe consider a different size to mix things up.
IMO I'm not sure that this GP will hold its value in the same way that AP RO would, limited or not, so I think your purchase is going to have to be based on personal preference.
No doubt a great watch, but it does feel to me like it is trying to imitate Genta and I think the originals were only in Quartz. I would also have a problem with a sports watch only having 30M water resistance. I would consider Vacheron's Overseas first, ...
I'm in the same boat
I\'ve got an RO and aquanaut but I\'m still chasing this particular GP. It\'s fundamentally different from the regular production with a slightly smaller case and dial etc. I note the manufacturing is not near the level of either the AP or Patek but bear ...
As much as it is a nice watch
It lacks the movement, pedigree, originality of either the AP, PP, IWC or even VC of that period when steel luxury watches were born. I would personally pass, but if your heart yearns for it, then go for it. That is the ultimate criterion. Things like val...
Not being an owner...
All I would say is if it sings to you and you will wear / enjoy it... It is a nice watch.
Sometimes easy is hard....
Hi Adam, It goes without saying that you have to go for the one you want to look at and muse over but there are some important subtle aesthetic and technical differences. I have been wondering the same thing since the new model launched is subtly improved...
Blue faced Laureato owner
Hi Adam I have owned this piece since December last year and can truly say it's one of the most comfortable watches I have owned. True it's not in the same league as a PP, AP or even the VC Overseas, but having owned the VC Deepstream this is by far more ...
Dear Adam, as a owner of the Laureato Anniversary I am probably a bit baised....
BUT, I LOVE the Laureato Anniversary ! You know my collection, and still it gets a more than fair share of wrist time! As for those that compare it to the RO... I am quite certain they do not know the Laureato in full (and probably not the RO either)... V...
Well, only the first generation had Quartz movement...
After that it evolved to automatic movement. Best Blomman
