The problem is which one...
I ow,ned the Vintage 45 Chrono ref 2599, as well as a WW TC in white gold and an Evo 3 with the carbon dial.
I sold them all to get an heavy piece, and to say all, I miss them a lot, specially the Vintage 45.
So, I have the Vintage Chrono in my mind, as well as a Vintage 45 One Gold bridge, with the ruthenium dial, or anyn other 3 gold bridges.
I guess the budget will be a problem, though...
Regarding the Big Date, yesn it is also a very appealing one, my friend.
The thing is that you already own a GP, when I don't...
So, we don't have the same things in mind: You, to compliment the superb GP you already have, me to " make my come back " to a brand I love a lot.
I would very well see you with a SS Chrono Vintage 45 Ref 2599...
Best,
Nicolas.
Now, we would hunt the same dream...
Best,
Nicolas.
Tempted by a Vintage 1945 large date
Hi,
Since I tried back a few Vintage 1945 models at the last SIHH I keep thinking of getting one.
The variety of models makes it hard to choose a favourite (although a one bridge tourbillon would be ideal) and I'm still thinking.
There's one model though that appeals me a lot.
We've not seen it much and I missed the only time it was posted here:
gp.watchprosite.com
I'd be tempted to read your views about this model if you own one, or any differing proposal for a Vintage 1945 in steel or pink gold on strap, be it equipped with a large date, or being a 2599 column wheel chronograph, a off centered enamel dial one, or any other.
Any owner of this one?
Cheers
Dje

I will get a GP, one day, it is clear to me.

So will I....
Hi Nicolas,
Indeed we 're not in the same situation.
The 2599 is a very tempting option but I'm annoyed by the fact that the chrono central second ring is cut twice by the counters.
I'm more looking at simpler options (25805, 25835) or a off-centered (that is out of my reach).
I've time to think though.
Cheers

And what about a Tourbillon with gold bridge, eeeh?
Now, we would hunt the same dream...

Nicolas.
Why not?
Hi Nicolas,
A perpetual calendar with EOT would not be bad either (although it's alarger case).
The 99850 is a favourite of mine, i white gold with cream dial would be perfect, but that's another story.
A simple large date would be more "probable"!

I like it...
But I particularly like the Girard-Perregaux ref. 25845-52-741-BA6A, Vintage 45 XXL Off-Centered Hours And Minutes. I hope to try it on one day.

Richard.

Hi,
It's an awesome watch if you can fit the XXL size.
It's pretty unique too.

I used to own one....
Hi Dje,
How are you? I sold the one I had which was the stainless steel model with the blue dial. It was a very pretty watch but I needed the money and I found that the watch was way too reflective for my taste. The hands are finished in polished steel while the crystal was not coated with an anti reflective finish which meant reading the time was difficult sometimes. Apart from that I also did not like the vibration from the mechanism which could really be strong.
I did like the big date and the moonphase, it was cool while it lasted.
Have fun deciding!
all the best,
KC.
