Very nice example...
however, you should try it with a nice vintage leather strap, I think it will look gorgeous.
Do you know what caliber this model has? Is it a 32A?

As promised, my GP Chronometer HF Gyromatic
Further to my exchanges with @Blomman and @TS1987 in a recent thread, I am pleased to share photos of my GP Chronometer HF Gyromatic. My specific inquiry is whether the bracelet is a Gay Freres, or not. It looks (to me) to be identical to the one in the p...
First of all, descartes - thank you for...
Sharing the story of your fathers watch! :) When it comes to heirlooms money or value do not matter. It is what it represent that matter! Very happy to read that you carry your fathers watch to family events. As for your bracelet, I have now checked and I...
Thank you! I am guessing...
that he bought this watch in the United States. He was no longer living in Switzerland. I don't think he traveled out of the U.S. at that time, excpet perhaps to the Bahamas.
I will ask if GP have any records....
Of bracelet providers, but I suspect not. If you check for the reference between the lugs at 6 - we could try to find out more precise when your watch was made. The Chronometer HF is a very cool but still elegant watch. Here are two of mine welcoming your...
Bravo, Descartes, this is a nice watch you have, here.
I can't tell you nothing about the braceletn though, but the Watch is very much what I am looking for. Cherish it as it deserves, given the provenance. ;) Best, Nicolas
Well done
on your photography set ups! I would not be too fussed if I was you about whether the Gay Freres stamp is on the clasp or not, Consider the fact that the company was purchased by Rolex much later on (1998) and currently makes 100% of the President, Jubile...

Very nice! :)
A great thing about the Gyromatic Chronometer HF is that ... Like in your photos, it looks very nice and formal. While it is as easy to match with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt! :) Thank you for the wrist shots. Best Blomman
Nice watch, and story...
Thanks very much for your post! I would be fairly confident that the bracelet is correct for the watch. I have seen the combination quite a few previous times. I would also suggest that your assessment of the model as having been "modest" is wrong. The GP...
This is such a marvel of yours, Tony! :)
Good point on "modest". At that time this was a time keeping Rolls Royce! :) Best Blomman
