One quick shot of Vintage 1945 XXL, Large Date, Moon-Phases
Friends,
I just wanted to share a quick shot of the Vintage 1945 XXL with Large Date and Moon-Phases.
A stunning piece I had the chance to see - and of course, I will come back to this one more in details!
Hope you all will have a great weekend and please come join us in the Friday WistScan!
This week's theme: Favorite markers/indexes.

Looking forward to it...
I like the all-round applied Breguet numerals (well see my Wristscan contribution) and I also like the large date now having a black background. What's I'm not used to yet is the XXL case and the bracelet....
To compare, a quick shot of its predecessor, the Ref 25800, LE of 50 in Steel.

I also find the ...
None white date background better, blends in better in the dial.
Yes, it's still big, XXL case is big but very comfortable!
As for the bracelet, yes it add some extra weight - personally I prefer leather strap/pin buckle...
Will come back more in detail soon!

I loved it when ot came in the early 2000s with the smaller case. But I saw something ..
Recently, which may be Worth a serious consideration...
Hmmmm?

Yes, but which one...?
We saw so many that I am not sure which one is on your brain...

My GP
is getting a bit old now. The USA-71 Oracle Racing.
And for the dial - it is crystal clear in the night and the 9-12 and 3 markers stand out good. Love this layout.
A bit similar to some of the Blancpain Evolution pieces I feel.
It's not getting much wrist-time these days, but is nevertheless an outstanding piece.
A Friday pic with some refreshing stuff added
Thanks

Welcome Bent!
Welcome to the GP forum!
Great to read you here.
Nice looking Sea Hawk you got!
Is that the BMW/Oracle with carbon dial?
Please feel free to share some more shot!

First time I see this one on bracelet
and I must repeat my old rule.....
GP's are watches that never should have
bracelets
Of all brands I find it most unappealing
to have bracelet pared to their watches is GP

I tend to agree, dear Damjan...
But that may not come as a big surprise since I am not a big fan of bracelets or folding buckles....
Best, my friend

What you are saying is that...
We don't need two collections - we could share one...?!
Best, my friend
Blomman
I realized ...
some 4 years ago that
I live all my dreams through your collection

Pssstt...
maybe my wife reads this
then I'm doomed
I'll have to leave my beautiful county
and that would broke my heart---
only your collection would then make comfort
Yours

Stunning indeed!
First time I see it on a bracelet. How does the bracelet feel and wear Blomman?
I think bracelets help those with small wrists carry larger watches as they close the lugs gap usually.
Good for someone like me to know the GP vintage 1945 XL has bracelet options too!
Cheers

The bracelet is very nice, Robin
Very soft and supple! Comfortable.
Personally I prefer leather strap, but this bracelet is very nice on the wrist!
Yes, I think you are right about the point that it helps if you have a smaller wrist.
But remember that it also becomes heavier...
