Oh the bracelet looks so well integrated.
I thought it was somehow an original bracelet, good to know. I’ve never seen a solid gold 4940, will look for it. Just today I was checking on Chrono an Orion with aventurine ( I guess ) dial. So many cool gp pieces to choose. Will definitely consider the 4940 too
38 mm Traveler II ref 4940
Friends, Today, we switch to another GP model I’m very fond of. In 38 mm, this is the 4940 Traveler II Jumping GMT Alarm launched in 1997. And since I had the salmon dial out, the black dial came out too on bracelet. Both with Breguet applied numbers. You...
Agree. GP needs to rationalize
And innovative now that they are independent again. A lot of focus given to UN so I hope that GP does not get forgotten. The potential for heritage models is great for GP. Marketing and control of inventory (which affects secondary market prices) continue...
Thanks Hora
I hope that my posts show folks the amazing GP neo vintage pieces that they may be missing out on. IMHO, the 1990s have such beautiful pieces (across brands) and often at such amazing prices too. Simply revolving ones collecting around the modern pieces a...
Ha ha, my black dial is getting overshadowed again
By his salmon cousin. Yes, the salmon is very pretty. As so few were made, they rarely come up for sale on the secondary market. The solid gold one is super nice too. Check c24 to see what available.
Hi Marc
excellent models, but what catches my attention is the clarity of your photos, what camera did you take the photos with or was it with a cell phone?
Thanks Quinto
Using my old iPhone XR. Nothing fancy. I use an app called mag. Light for macro shots. It’s free. Very important to keep the phone still when taking pics. I tend to support the phone against my chest or arm to stablize it. Holing it alone will not be sta...
Thank you 🙏
GP hidden neo-vintage gems ❤️ I have some videos on my IG account as well. IG: @quietluxrytime
Beautiful these gps, especially the salmon.
With its red accents it looks super cool. I never saw the black one in bracelet either always on straps, looks very different and sporty, nice catch
Yeah, the bracelet changes the look completely
I think it goes well with the black dial but the salmon dial is best on strap. The solid gold 4940s are really nice too. I think these are very good neo vintage pieces to add to one’s collection and they are not “expensive” as well. Bracelet is available ...

It is an original GP 4940 bracelet
But I felt less bling and more satin would suit the watch more. So got the polished bit on the side changed to satin. Only kept the two end links to be polished to match the shoulders of the case lugs. ☺️ Good 👍🏻 hope to see some pics of you in a GP soon ...
Forgot to add that I had the side links
Of the bracelet customised to satin finish instead of polished. ☺️
Gorgeous duo!! Thanks for posting them.
Preference on the salmon with grey strap. What a combo!
Thanks Michael 🙌
The salmon is my favorite too. Especially on the grey strap. Only 150 made in 1997 so one has to hunt for them on the secondary market. Over the next day or so, I’ll post two more 4940s I have. Yes I have four of them … 😅 GP has some nice modern watches f...
I look forward to seeing the other pieces!
You have this model well cornered Colorado is a beautiful state. Sadly, everything else about it makes it hard to live in, and I dream of moving. But the reality is we are running out of good places in the US.
Curious about the grey strap
I love this watch and looking to buy the salmon dial. Where is the grey strap from? Looks amazing
The salmon dial is the best IMHO 🥰
There is one listed on chrono24 Grey strap I got in Singapore. Not so easy to find. It’s lug width 22 mm so I had to squeeze it in to the 21 mm lug width for the 4940. I find it difficult to find nice grey and “sand” color strap in 21 mm. 🤝
Auf deutch bitte …
A nice review of the black dial 38 mm 4940 with Breguet applied numbers with the black background for the 24 GMT disk. In German … Viel glück 🤗
I'm in love
Could you share the lug width and the lug to lug measurement? Can the alarm function be disabled when not needed?
Lug width is 21 mm
Lug to lug is 47.5 mm Yes, the alarm function can be disabled. It is entirely controlled by the lower crown. 🤝
