Girard Perregaux

Impressions

 

Andrew

Thank you for the response

My pictures dont capture the 3d effect of the dial fully but give a good impression (i think)

The bracelet is so comfy that you dont realise you are wearing it

The dial size, while largest i have ever worn, doesnt feel oversized

Now, the date display and changer - these are both excellent. The date is clear and legible and the change is smooth and crisp. Its not a gradual slow move over, more a crisp snap and instant change. Bang on midnight as well (no lead in and out like the slower dial moves)

Overall i am still smiling and keep looking at her (in winder while i work from home) and wearing her wth love and care

My first impression of her was wonderful and stunning - nothing has made me think any differently

They say first impressions are usually the best and the ones that count and i couldnt agree more

I think we all know the feeling of a new watch on the wrist, and it's something you want to make the most of. The Evo3 is an impressive sports watch and I am pleased to read you comments about size and fit. It often comes down to lugs and case/bracelet de... 

Congratulations

Thanks for persevering with the photo up-loader! The Evo3 looks cool and the size is good for your wrist. I love the colours against this white dial and the bracelet suits the watch. What is you opinion on the unique date display mechanism? Regards Andrew

love the contrast between the case and the bezel J

yorkshiremark67, Everytime I see that watch (and that is a rare occurrence), I have conflicted feelings. On one hand, it looks a happy face with a riot of colour and especially the funky red big date. On the other hand, it may be too 'scattered' with stuf... 

It does all i want

MTF Thanks for the comments I understand your sentiment but for me it is an excellent item My favourite complications are Moon Phase and Power Reserve So this gives me both. Added to this the additional complication/accuracy of each of these complications... 

All the interest of this watch lies in the blends.

Blend on the shape of the case ( Ocotgonal bezel / Blend of the dial: Sporty, and somehow dressy, too. Not everybody's taste, but this is the apanage of watches with strong character. Congratulations, Mark. Best, Nicolas.

Agreed about blending

Nicolas Thanks for the observation and kind comment I agree that the mix and blend is, perhaps, bordering on the 'marmite' factor but to me i love all about it Watch for incoming chrono and strap change alternatives (dark brown croco ordered from GP) Kind...
