Thx for the write up....
It is such a classic watch. I am in love with the enameled dial. One of these days, I have to pull the trigger on it.....

This is one of my favorite pieces in the GP portfolio. Very elegant, very classy. :-) The dial is just right for my taste and the movement is a proven winner. You are going to have a long love affair with this watch, methinks! Enjoy your new beauty! Thank...
Thanks Sista !

My way of contributing to the GP board, which admittedly, have been more of a spectator sport for me :) Never been this excited for a long time, and this is magical ! And you truly know what I mean. The list of "I will never sell" jus grew ever so slightl...
Thank you !

And the pleasure is all mine :) As you put it , comfort and beauty are hallmarks of this timpiece. I am not just happy , I am ecstatic ! My only regret .... not getting the watch earlier ! Now that I am opened to the world of GP , the chrono (which Andrew...

I was wondering why no one here has pulled the trigger on this beauty! I'm glad it's you flamenco and some nice pics. to show. I had a hard time trying to decide if I preferred the RG or WG but in the metal the RG stood out more and seemed more appropriat...
Definitely RG !

The WG to me feels a bit cold. But, its bring out the dial and the blue hands much more ! So its not an easy straight forward choice. U brought up a good point. While I was on a flight prior to this post, a well dressed gentlemen (and obviously in the kno...
Special piece

The Grand Feu is indeed special and held in high regard in my small collection. I am not sure the initial euphoria will die down. Its a magnificient piece to own. I am embrassed when u mention education, cos I really think its the reverse all that vintage...
Education ...
By: nilomis : January 29th, 2013-05:31
I mentioned "education" because all other watch collectors that I know here simply ignore this brand. When I got my first Girard-Perregaux (Andrew's influence), all my friends tried to persuade me to not do the acquisition. Since this time, I already made...
Is that a blue dial ?
By: flamenco : January 29th, 2013-22:28
Its gorgeous. One that I never knew existed ! Did consider the 38mm seriously due to its supreme on the wrist comfort. Not to mention a useful date function. However, in my case, the enamel dial won out, and since I do not already own one ever. Its hard t...

Had to goolge that .......... now that I know what it means, need to find out how to pronunce that. LOL ! Thank you for your kind words and I feel the same about its simplicity and pureness. Magic ! Speaking of gold indices, the 1966 Chrono is looking bet...

Last time I was this exicited was with the acquisition of the Moser Mayu. And it took another dress watch for me to get to this higher place. Not seen u post much of late, so thank you very much for the kind words. Much appreciated !
Who can argue with that?

Among the most beautiful watches of all time, IMHO. And since you were so candid in your post, I will add that the only thing that I quibble with, is the movements size, not its design or execution. But this is a watch of crazy beauty, especially in rg.
