GP Gyromatic – all original?
Friends, Last week a friend of mine showed me this Gyromatic from the early-mid 50s. Gold plated top, staybrite case. Screw down case back and inside is the Cal GP 47 (based on ETA 1256) 18000 vph. Ref 6250, very similar to Ref 6169. Very nice! I tell hi...
I am impressed by the way they ....
Have restored the dial, luckily their spelling skills do not match...! ;) Best Blomman
My Gyromatic Girard P.
My G Y romatic Girard PERREGEAX , rare.....very rare :-) Ciao Giuseppe ...
Very rare indeed! :)
LOL! Another great spelling champion! :) Thank you for joining, Giuseppe! Best Blomman
Yes, frightening to see how good the crooks are...!
If not misspelled I don't think I would have spotted the repaint... Best Blomman
Wow! They did everything so well....
only to mess up a spelling on the dial! Hahaha. Good spot detective Blomman. :) One of the reasons why I don't go vintage (yet) is my fear of getting fakes/frankens, etc. I am a wimp :( Cheers robin
Not a wimp, my friend....
Your are smart! ;) Na, the vintage area is totally different from new/modern watches. Either you like it or you don't. But if you do, you better read before buy! :) Best Blomman
I find
that you hardly ever find franken Gyromatics, but refinished dials are common. I've owned a dozen and am selling out.
