The enlargement has been executed admirably...
...most especially in the up-sizing of the movement itself, but this was a watch which, due to its beautifully clean face, wore 'large' in any event. As you say, the original watch feels perfectly comfortable, and there is something to be said for the longer, more balanced index at 3 o'clock. Speaking from a personal perspective, of course, the original still has the edge:

The Blue Hour Girard-Perregaux 1966, 41mm in White Gold / Pink Gold
Friends, We have already agreed that for us GP fan, that the color of love is blue! The importance of the blue color for Girard-Perregaux is already well established. Last year we saw the Blue Vintage 1945, the Blue Sea Hawk and the Blue GP 1966 in PG, 38...
I think it's great
that GP offers both sizes, so it's not a "yah" or "nay" but it is "YES, YES". So everyone can try and select the size he prefers. I agree that the way the 41mm is done is very harmonious which is visible that you cannot really tell which is 41 or 38 mm un...

You should try this one on the wrist, HS! :)
You will fall, my friend...! :) Best Blomman
Normally when two different sizes....
You can always easily tell them apart... I.e. One will be in less good balance. Here I find both in perfect balance! :) Best Blomman
(Must agree...)
...a no-date version would be the cherry on the (already delicious) cake. Cheers, pplater.
I still prefer the 38mm version
And I agree that the date window would have been better being silver/white on blue. Also looks to me that the window and the font is larger on the 41mm version...that should be the same size on the 38mm, IMO, as that would make it readable and practical t...
The window might be a tad bigger on the 41 mm...
Hm, I didn't notice this detail when I was trying these... To be honest, I think the size of the window wont be any issue... Let's hope a for a 38 mm WG versions soon! :) Best Blomman

Pplater, you should remind us ....
More often of this beauty you have! :) Yes, the index at 3 o'clock is better on the 38 mm for sure. Best Blomman
