And a beauty to break the spell.
I also know a few who go through such spells. I was partly in one, but only because it was a lucky watch for Croatia's WC run.
I broke the spell simply: I put that one away and started playing with 'neglected' pieces. It didn't take log to start rotating again, all of 10 seconds. But for some it may be harder.
BTW, I call it 'symptoms of Rolexitis', as Rolex seems to be the culprit in majority of such cases.
Breaking the summer blues with the Girard-Perregaux Alarm 7742
Friends, sometimes, you go through phases when you seem to break habits and loose interest in your passion. i know friends who had been wearing one watch for weeks and weeks this summer... For me, the hot weeks have resulted in neglecting wearing vintage ...

Yes, I saw those Rolexitis symptoms...
but I'm glad I'm not infected.... Thanks, my friend.
Great looking watch.
In summer, during the day, I tend to stick with modern sports watches with bracelets. This year I have worn my new Black Bay 58 more than any other. I usually change it for a vintage on leather strap for the evening. This keeps them all “ticking over”. I ...
Thanks Kev for your input
yes, the hot summer seems to have directed me to modern / bracelet watches as well and then I also had the Laureato Evo3 as a new addition. But now, it is time to rediscover the other (vintage) watches. Best, CC
I understand the dynamics...
Of wearing rather more modern, water and heat proof watches in summer. I am also intrigued by the option of wearing a watch for a longer period of time, without switching. I know several Purists try it on a regular basis, and the majority of the populatio...
Great way to start changing your routine wearer
Very nice watch with a great complication, interestingly implemented. Though, if that was mine I might get stuck in another (very enjoyable) rut! Cheers JML
Hej CC !.. Good points you made about this summer's heat.. & less Vintage wear.. Yes- conversly, I have pretty much wearing only one or two pieces, mostly moderns..
.. mostly with bracelet or rubber. Few changes were related to theatre visits. I like your choice with that lovely GP 9091 Alarm, which in fact we share as „brothers-in-arms“ ! Guess, now as it gets a bit cooler, I‘ll have to think more to n my Vintages, ...
Many thanks HS for sharing your summer experience.
I see you also have the same issues with modern watches with bracelet or rubber getting a preference in the heat. CC
Sorry CC !.. In my above response post I got the Ref. I own, wrong (of course it‘s also 7742, not 9091, being C- shaped).. ;))
AFAIK, our friend Blomman owns both. Best, hs
Yes, you're right
this one is the 7742 while the 9091 has a C-Shape case. And as far as Blomman is concerned, is there an Alarm watch he doesn't have?
