I agree with you, Blomman. If it was 37 mm, I would happily buy it.
Hope to check it out in real life, together with the Laureato.
I feel GP is doing well with their 2016 releases, digging into their past for inspiration. Nostalgia sells!
BaselWorld 2016: Girard-Perregaux Heritage 1957
Friends, All the novelties from Girard-Perregaux this year are not yet presented here… Still more to come! Next in line is the Girard-Perregaux Heritage 1957. Girard-Perregaux Heritage 1957: the year GP patented the Gyromatic concept. Even if the name is ...
Very nice, but once again, the date is too centered, the consequence of a too small cal.
OR you go for a bigger movement, and you put the date less centered. OR you go for a no date version. My 2 cents. Best, Nicolas
OR a smaller case....
The position of the date window do not bother me that much as the risk of having a too large watch for this kind of dial... BUT, I need to see this one in the metal to draw a final conclusion... Best Blomman
This will do well
And I can imagine there will be 20 dial and metal variations... I don't mind the date. I think it is not badly placed, and the dial is very nice. I think however, it is HIGH TIME GP dispense with the tired, boring, predictable 3330 movement... It is like ...
I understand your frustration.
Yes, the GP 033000 is a great movement, but it would be nice to see a development. A high-grade finish? Something to motivate a larger case back window? ...? I think many GP fans would welcome that! Best Blomman
just the date window irks me...
the sunburst dial is so beautiful, i would die for a no-date version ! unfortunately i'm a fan of no-date version ;-)
I think we are many here loving clean, dateless dials...
Would have been nice to see one of these Limited Editions #225 without a date. But here I feel that at least the date window do not destroy the dial... Which is the case on some watches. Best Blomman
I like this !
very clean and good size dress watch with all the goodies.. Thanks for sharing !
A lot to like! :)
My pleasure, Chuck! This one have a lot of vintage charm but the advantage of a modern watch! Best Blomman
Interesting new offer
I understand this is also a special, limited 225 years edition. Would need to see it in the metal, but I guess if you own a number of vintage Gyromatics then this is less interesting. CC
Don't say that....
If you have the vintage originals.... You can play the old and new game! For example, you have a lot of Deep Divers.... Would that stop you if GP released a new Deep Diver...?! I know for sure it would not stop me... Best Blomman
Maybe, but like you, need to handle the real thing to make a judgment
The Deep Diver of course is a completely different story
As always the wrist test is the final check!
As for a Deep Diver..... It would have to be covered in sparkles for me not to jump it! Best Blomman
Love the champagne dial...
Seeems like the old times are really returning. And while I agree that a smaller diameter would be better (would also get the date placed closer to where it should be), one can at least see a gradual trend towards downsizing, which is good I wonder why th...
The downsizing trend is a good thing, IMO.
Makes the watches more accessible to more wrists. Also more balanced and comfortable. But I guess that it is a process over time. You can't go from 45-47 mm to 38-39 mm in one go! Best Blomman
Hmmm, I am not so sure about the color of the dial.
The watch per se is very classy - great! With the dial color maybe a bit to much vintage... (?)
I agree with you, Blomman. If it was 37 mm, I would happily buy it.
Hope to check it out in real life, together with the Laureato. I feel GP is doing well with their 2016 releases, digging into their past for inspiration. Nostalgia sells!
Yes, GP 2016 is doing great! :)
Looking forward to see more of the novelties... Because it is not over yet! Best Blomman
I am in agreement about the date.
I dont even mind the 40mm case. The dial and case are beautiful. It would have been perfect without the date.
