Congratulations! This should be GP discontinued Classic Elegance line chrono with outsourced D&D chrono module.I am not too sure yours is with Flyback as normally would have been stated on the dial-RETOUR above the hour sub dial.Makes it a cleaner better dial though. I wish GP would have preserv
Thanks Dje,I got confused by not knowing a modular column wheel chrono is possible.I presumed the chrono module is made by D&D? Hope a new integrated fullyinhouse GP manual column wheel chrono movement(long wish list!!) .
I refer to the recent thread by Amanico on the 1966 Chrono which I concurs that it would be better with a larger movement.. It seems to be a new integrated movement with column wheels rather than the old 3300 base movement + a D&D chrono module. The question is why make it relatively small? To save

many have pointed out that for better accuracy,its better to keep the watch fully winded/constant torque. What about for longevity of the say automatic mainspring/watch? Is it better to let the mainsping nearly fully winded down and up again/"exercises" to be stronger? over the power reserve duratio

Sorry for this late post. Being often traveller to China,I agree with Thomas and my comment was on China's high end watch demand.Not mid or low. Agree that the normal folks wont give a damn about what watch when they havent 'make it'-senior or rich enough. The number of millionaires now and future i
Now we know where all the various brands' high end complicated watches -to Russia. see: www.plushasia.com/article/5775 With the Chinese getting richer,they have a long history of craftmanship appreciation and collecting portable arts(easily exchangeable for cash in times of troubles-which are often
Haven't access GP websites for sometime. When did they drop the Classic Elegance line?Did GP stop production on all the round case(non 1966's) chronos,moonphase etc? Maybe they should also drop the Richville and R&D lines to make GP watches more iconic?? brgds,
