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 that appeals me a lot.

We've not seen it much and I missed the only time it was posted here:

gp.watchprosite.com

I'd be tempted to read your views about this model if you own one, or any differing proposal for a Vintage 1945 in steel or pink gold on strap, be it equipped with a large date, or being a 2599 column wheel chronograph, a off centered enamel dial one, or any other.

Any owner of this one?

Cheers

Dje

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 Vin...

So will I....

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...

And what about a Tourbillon with gold bridge, eeeh?

Now, we would hunt the same dream... Best, Nicolas.

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...

Thank you for your experience KC. I've seen that model! nt
