38 mm is a great size for this cushion case Welcome to the family 🥰 I’ll post a video over the next few days. ...

Thanks brauner☀️

And wears well too. Gets a lot of questions from fellow watch nerds. Oh, didn’t know GP made them. All about the research. GP has gems … not well documented. Not crazy expensive yet.
Thank you Aquaracer

I have a 18.5 cm wrist so goes to show this cushion 38 mm from GP is a gem. Many people are only discovering them now … 2598 2498 2499 9012 These are the 4 reference numbers for the cushion shaped dials from GP in the lasts 1990s-2005. Neo vintage.
Thanks Sludgeriff ☀️

The guiloche dial is more subtle. Web pattern. The silver version is good too. Silver - 185 made Black - 122 made So not many out there.
Thank you Yacomino

Agree, the olive strap is a bit retro, a bit macho, a bit classy. 😀
Love it too but

I changed it to the steel bracelet for this week. The olive strap went to the 2598 black “military” dial ...
Thank you Nicholas

When I’m doing, always get the bracelet as they may not be around forever. Straps will come and go. : )
Thanks Yacomino

Adds a lot of heft. In a good way. It also transforms the watch presence to feel more like a sports/tool watch.
Thanks Boris

Cushion cases are super. Not round. Not square. Long lugs. GP has not made any since these. 20 years.
You’re welcome !

It’s a pity, pretty sure it would be a hit if GP reintroduced these now imo.
True true … agree. Then all the old

Cushion case prices will disappear as the main stream catches on. Who know … maybe GP will indeed come out with a cushion case again soon 😉
Oh great. Please share a pic of your

2499 as well? This version was commissioned by the sultan of Oman. The crest of the royal family. I’m researching further. Small batch. ...
Cool 🤔

Ah, I see. This is a different model.
By: SingaporeMarc : February 17th, 2023-08:16
Yours is a 2598 “military dial”. It Ke a beautiful watch as well and I like wearing mine too. About 700 (or so) of them were made and it was watch if the year in Japan 1999. There is an ivory dial version. as well. There are a few LE versions as well. A d...
Ha ha 😀 I know of one that

Those are the most neo vintage GPs. The case was full so … 🤷🏻♂️ Got another case. I like the 38 copper but I’m focusing on the non-production watches for now. I have some but rather search for the very rare ones while they are still floating around at de...
Thank you ☀️

Was not easy to find the lot … all in mint or near mint condition. : )

Finished and refined by GP of course. Best of both worlds… reliable and easy to service. And not just “plonked” in the case. GP refinished it all and also refines.
Ah, a nice one. Reference 2598

“Military” black dial. Fun fact: Some have 1960 on the back and others have 1970. (I have the 1970 … as it’s the year I was born) When first launched GP had 1960 engraved on the back … apparently a homage to some models from GP in 1960. Subsequently, GP f...
