Friends,

 

 

A short break in all the Novelties.

Let’s take a ride back to 1968 and have a look at my first catch of the year…

 

The Girard-Perregaux reference 7838 with Damier dial:


 

 

 

At first it looks very much like the reference 7427 with Damier dial…

But if you look closer you see the 7838 has a seconds hand AND a date window!

 

I must confess that I like the date a lot here!

Adds some extra character to the dial…



 

There are more differences, but that will have to wait until I have had time to write a proper review.

 

Hope you all also had a great start of this year!

smile

 

 

Best

Blomman

Your 8631 is from a later period....

Look at the Logo! Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman

Yes, the Ref# also points to a later time

but good to see that this design was in production for a few years, so better chance of still finding some
