Thanks for the candid pics
I wonder why GP did not put a gold rotor. And a Skeltonized one at that …. 🤷🏻♂️
Newsflash: Girard Perregaux Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin Edition.
Here it is or should I say they are, as there are two versions, in 38 mm and 42 mm. The 38 mm is limited to 188 pieces and the 42 mm to 388 pieces. The other difference is that the 38 mm houses the Cal GP 3300, which is 25, 95 mm big, while the 42 mm has ...
What do you think of these compared to original in steel?
I almost bought this initially but changed my mind at last minute. Source: Monochrome watches ...
These colored ceramic watches (and the blue AP RO too) just look plastic and cheap to me.
I'm sure the wrist-feel is different, but aesthetically they do not look like luxury pieces. More akin to a cheap plastic Moonswatch. John
Same here. Just a "latest flavor" I guess, but I'd be surprised if these stand the test of time. Same with AP's colored ceramic.
I feel a bit differently about black ceramic but still prefer metals.
It may be that they look different in person.
I’m not sure why the black ceramic is acceptable, but for me it’s because I can see the brushed striations that give it character, as opposed to the smooth plastic like appearance of the blue ceramic. But at least all AP ceramic models will always be cons...
Not sure why black works for me either, but I will definitely stick with black and regular colored metals.
Come to think of it, the gray ceramic coaxial Speedmaster is nice too. Maybe I'm just prejudiced against colors!
An excellent summary
Thanks Nicholas ☀️ Thought I’m more of a fan of steel. I do like what GP is doing here. A lot of hard work by the design team. No date would be better. No decal on the display caseback would be better. Overall, some excellent pieces at a reasonable price....
The woman in the photo spoils the whole thing for me
If that's their target market, what are they thinking?
I don't know....
I actual like green very much, the design itself is also appealing but not entirely convincing.... Would love to see it in person of course........ Thanks for the pictures, Filip
There's definitely....
'room for improvement' .... Especially when I'm sitting here at work looking at my glorious AMVOXII Le Mans ........ ...
More candid images....

Love this
Would happily wear… as for size not tried either in any metal so would have to try to know… cool reference!
I like it…
…and find it very interesting. Look forward seeing it in flesh - might something really different… But I am biased anyway as huge Aston Martin fan…
