I like this GP. Very nice.
The dial is very beautiful.
A pity the case is on the large side, at 41mm.
And a pity the movement is so small: 25,6mm. Another movement lost in a big case.
But we can't blame a manufacture for making use its own good and thin base movement.
And given the relative slimness (10mm), it must have a very nice flat-wide feel.
Warm congratulations to GP for this!
Good to see this loved manufacture bringing such good things.
Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81000 in the snow
Friends, We all knew this day would come... Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81000 in the snow! Feels like yesterday I tormented you with summer time wrist shots... This is the first time for my Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81000 to see snow... And from the look of...
Time to snuggle it under a warm sleeve
before it catches a cold We'll try to find some sunshine and send it up North. CC
I was not a big fan of this case shape at the first sight and, finally, the desire slowly grows into me
Thank you for this little "watch snowflake" ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
Try it on your wrist and the desire will rise! :)
The fit on the wrist is magic! Best Blomman
My filght is not until Friday.....
And not to Singapore.... But hopefully with a warm reception! Best Blomman
If I ever meet any of those two.....
Weather will not be a topic for discussion! Best Blomman
At first I thought you said 'you two' and thought what are you going to do tomorrow?
I would like to have a word with those two.
Will see what I can do....! ;)
But I fear that once down shout, he wants to stay...! Best Blomman
Actually, it is quite late this year.....
But yes, cold and wet as usual.... Best Blomman
And on this subtropical island where I live,
19 degrees Celsius has already made some people put on their fleece jacket yesterday. To me, however, it's perfectly nice.
19 C and fleece?!!!
That is normal summer here in Sweden! At that point many people run around in t-shirt and shorts! Best Blomman
Some of my friends were surprised
when I told them that it's just like a normal summer day in Europe.

The thin feeling is there!
But not the wide... I agree that it would been OK to see this new Laureato in 39 or 40 mm, but even at 41 you don't get a too wide feeling. Best Blomman
Dear friend ! .. See below to cheer you up a bit !!
PS : All I can do right now is to send you some warming South Africa greetings from Cape Town with Table Mountain !! The downside is, I cannot join you guys at the 2 November GTGs.. Have fun !! Far away.. Not bad, indeed ! ...
You mean the new VC Overseas looks remarkably similar to this new Laureato! ;)
Here is an example of how the Laureato looked like in 1996: Best Blomman ...
Exactly what I mean.
And here is the new VC: I will get a better pic tonight with the bracelet on. ...
It actually looks at home ;-)
I like the watch, but trying one on recently, it doesn't work too well on smaller wrists. If it did, that would be quite a problem for me.
It didn't fit your wrist?
Too bad - would be an excellent next GP for you, my friend! Best Blomman
That was the intention - the white dialed one
But it was just too big. The whole case and shape just couldn't wrap comfortably. The 1957 wore slightly smaller, but was still too big, unfortunately, else, one of them would have followed me home.
Sorry to hear...
But take it easy... Soon you will find one that fit your wrist! Best Blomman
Not a fan of snow?
The Laureato certainly looks like it takes it in its stride Let\'s see how we can help with the weather tomorrow
Wishing you a great GTG, dear KMII !.. Sorry, having to miss it !.. But vacation at the Cape..
,.. in South Africa is really not bad either ! Well, I guess you cannot have it all .. Enjoy your meeting ! Best, hs
There will definitely be a next time soon! :)
Do let me know when you're back - and in the meantime enjoy the sun!
Hej!.. Haven't realized this in the first place.. Therefore: Sincere Congrats to this acquisition & wear in best health ! :))
1 little Q: Am I right to assume, it's the lovely blue waffle dial ?. - Pls bring her with you next time !!
