Hi, I'm no expert but I did share my humble impressions in a response to India Whiskey Charlie above.
That explains my process of selecting this watch. I wouldn't read it as anything other than a personal impression. Hope it helps.
Awesome choice. Looks fantastic. Does the clasp have microadjust of any kind? Enjoy! [nt]

Hi. No, I don't believe it does. When I had it sized today, however, the agent was able to adjust at 'half link' intervals. I'll have a closer look, though. [nt]

Every picture I’ve seen of this watch, yours included, leave me thinking “that’s a good looking watch”.
I don’t think it needs to be any more depth to it than that, as this is what one should think when looking at ones wrist.
The other piece I’d like to see is the Streamliner, and I note in your response above this one was “for another life”. Is that based on the less traditional look, the dial, or something else?
True. We over-analyse when sometimes just silently beholding something we like is enough.
The H. Moser Streamliner Flyback Chronograph is limited to 100 pieces, and each of them costs $40,000. Clearly there are people on this site for whom this is a trifling sum but it’s way, way beyond my means and I have no issue with saying that.
Ah, I was thinking of the non chrono Streamliner Center Seconds and I thought that was what you had considered. Agree, the chronograph is several price brackets above. [nt]

There's something relaxing about that dial
I can't quite explain it, maybe the lack of lume or the restrained color palette but great choice and definitely not something you see very often!
Hi. Thanks much. Guess what? There is lume on the hour indices and the tips of the hour and minute hands. It's black and this helps give the dial composure.
It's worth adding that black lume is not particularly strong, and fades quite quickly. This is hardly a deal-breaker in the overall context of what the watch tries to achieve.
Parmigiani Fleurier will not be sending these pieces to any of its 150 official sales points; they'll deliver them one by one based on confirmed orders. This'll influence how many of us get to see them in the metal.

An excellent alternative to the other well known steel sportswatches
I find this one more interesting!
I ended up choosing this one over a number of others because of its classical looks.
It doesn't try to break industry moulds with angular dials or avante-garde materials; it just focuses on being a good-looking, traditional watch with excellence in the detail.
Wow
This is my current dream sports watch. The dial is really beautiful IMO. Congrats!
Did you look @ the black/orange dial Chrono too?

Hi, Yes i did actually. But my collection contains a fair few chronos, and I wanted something simpler that just said "Watch" when I looked at it.
I'm quite happy to say that this is precisely what I think when I wear and look at it.
As for the "sports" tag, I think this is basically an all-purpose watch. It's both conservative and pretty; handsome and curvy. PF did a decent job.

I'll bear that in mind, WatchEater. I've never parted with any watch I've ever had, so I hope you can be patient... [nt]

It really is a great watch...simple, traditional and beautifully finished.
This belongs to my wife. She loves it. I’ve noticed it gets a lot of wrist time.
Unfortunately, my wrist is too large to clasp the deployment.

Hi. I agree with how you describe it. Thanks for that and the lovely photos. Your wife has a fine watch and you must have substantial wrists... [nt]

Thanks.
Her wrist is large enough to wear my watches with bracelets but my wrist is a little too big to wear hers. 😢
Excellent choice!
I‘ve always been a fan of Parmigiani. I admire them for their independent spirit and flawless execution.
You‘ve picked a very nice specimen here, and I bet the backside doesn’t disappoint!
Best,
Daniel

Thank you. Naturally I agree with you. The 22K gold rotor on the movement is a treat. I haven't taken any photos of it yet, but they're available online. [nt]

I'm calling today to inquire / order. Your post and photos did the trick! Thank you. Enjoy yours!

That's very exciting. I think you'll be happy with the experience, and with the watch.
PF has a strong working relationship with its authorised sales points, and it shows in the way they interact with customers. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit yesterday.
It would be interesting to have your reactions if and when you are able to secure your own. Best regards.
I tried in-person. Lovely piece! For me, just way too much of a fingerprint magnet. But for the high-polish, reminds me of my much-loved VC Overseas Gen II models. Enjoy your PF -- lovely! [nt]

From the photos (though now it should have been obvious to me anyway), I simply didn't realize how much of the bracelet all-the-way around is such high-polish. Though passing, still a super piece! [nt]

You make reasonable points. Good luck with your next catch. Best regards. [nt]

Beautuful watch. enjoy it
Interesting that they are not shipping without an order. That should stop the price discounting that has hurt their image.
I have owned the tonda 1950, the pershing and the tonda dual time. They are great watches with their own look. Pf makes a great watch. You will enjoy it.

I admire your immersion in the brand. You have three fine specimens.
I've seen 3-4 individual GTs appear on the secondary market since its launch. Two of these were pulled almost immediately. The other two are still up today. Meanwhile, the sales point where I bought the watch above did have several of PF's other watches on display from the Toric and Tonda lines, plus one beautiful Hebdomadaire. I would have liked to see the Chronor, but that wasn't on show.
