Hello all
Not sure if this is the right place but cant hold back anymore
Just received my Girard Perregaux Laureato Evo3 Moonphase (and power reserve)
White/silver dial on bracelet
Absolute stunner and fits like a dream
Was a little unsure as the stated diameter is 42.6mm and i have slim wrists but the case shape and bracelet make for a 'made to measure' fit
My jaw i hurting from the constant smiling
Will post pics when i manage to stop staring at her later today

Congratulations, Mark ...

Everytime I see that watch
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...

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...
