Chronometer (aka yacomino) takes us on a captivating journey through a 'window shopping' experience, presenting a trio of luxury timepieces: the Girard-Perregaux Laureato, Panerai Submersible, and IWC Big Pilot's Watch 43. His initial impressions, particularly on the Laureato and the blue-dialed Submersible, spark a lively debate among collectors about aesthetics, wearability, and brand identity. This article distills the community's diverse opinions, offering a multifaceted perspective on these horological contenders.
and also not a fan of that GP model. I think the IWC 43 is fantastic and has 100mt water resistance + easy to change straps (is not so user friendly on a panerai or GP).
I never owned one so I don’t really know but would be afraid to get it and then have a 10+ sec/day watch?
I know the Panerai don’t fit any of these two but it was the first time I could try a submersible in the flesh and I thought they were nice to
That leads us to the BP 43 which is clearly based on an iconic series of pilots' watches. One of the very few worthy offerings from their current catalogue.
After all my username is chronometer! So it does play some role in my thought process rightfully or wrongfully
I tried one on for the first time recently and I was impressed by the look and the comfort of the bracelet.
