Agree ..

Strange that the absolute is still around let alone, GP ploughing more money into it. 44 mm is so last decade.

Maybe I’m just a traditional sort of guy, but steel or a precious metal is good enough for me.

As Nicholas said, the 38 mm copper or the 38 mm
Grey Anthracite my favorites.

Would have liked to see more 38 to 40 mm come out from GP. The 1800 movement was acquired from
Jean Richard. It’s fine but nothing that excites anyone.

Seems like they used the movement from the 42 mm skeleton here for this absolute light?

Some practical improvements to the micro adjustments and quick strap change would be nice to see.

Almost seems like GP is “trying out too hard” and getting confused. AP pushed the offshore too much and returned back to their core of the royal oak. GP may want to consider the same. Maybe they are saving up all their bullets for the 50th anniversary of the laureato which will in 2025.

Let’s see.

Best wishes from Singapore ☀️
