A little teaser of things to come...
Here is a little a teaser of one out of four new GPs in my collection. I already presented a quick picture of the Richeville 27650 Chronograph, here is a little teaser of the Richeville 2710 manual chronograph, bi-compax, NO DATE!. Absolutely lovely dial that shines in the light. Difficult to express in words or show in photos.
I'm still getting some restored by my trusted watch-maker, so once I have all 4 in good shape a long report will follow.

That is an earlier version, compared to the last one you posted.
Great idea to add this one.
Congratulations!

Richeville Line
That's correct. In fact, the Richeville line has a long history and it's a real pity it is discontinued. I now possess two Richeville 2520 (which was the second men's model after the 2510, I believe). 2510 and 2520 are square shaped a bit like the Vintage 45 and have a very nice Art Deco look. I will post a report on my recent purchase of a black dial 2520 hopefully in Jan.
The 2710 and the 2750 have the same case with the 2750 housing a GP modified ETA automatic and the 2710 a manual GP modified Lemania movement. BTW: the earlier 2520 has the inhouse GP movement.
Later Richevilles are then the recently posted 27650 Chronograph (report to follow) and I also own the Day.Night 27610.
At the moment I'm most in love with the black 2520 square Richeville.

Aaah, the Richeville Day Night!
You mean this one?
I worked on a review, I will see if it ready. I LOVE this Watch. Original display of Time.

Black Dial 2520
No, that's the 27610. I own that one in Rose Gold, picture at the bottom.
Here is a quick impression of the Richeville 2520 with black dial.

BTW: this is not a Vintage 45, it is an early Richeville from the late 90ties. They look very similar indeed. The Richeville does not have the curved case, but instead this double bezel which gives it a very nice look on the wrist.
Once this has seen my watchmaker, I will compare it with the Vintage 45, Ref 2593, which is similar but not the same.

Vintage " Vintage 45 "...
Is much different, indeed:
Less Chocolate, more rectangular, and a tad more spohisticated:

Original vintage "Vintage 45"
Oh, I would love to acquire the original Vintage 45 one day. There is simply nothing on offer and it may be out of reach as well.
Is that just a picture you have or do you actually own an original vintage "Vintage 45"?

No, not mine. It belongs to the GP Heritage Department.
I took at the SIHH, 3 years ago, with GP's kind permission.
