Girard Perregaux

Can I ask for your opinion about these two GP Laureatos?

It's decided :the Laureato will be my next watch !

I am simply convinced by the beauty of the watch and it's extreme fine execution.

Now I am torn between these two models : the three-hand with blue dial and the chronograph with black dial and blue sub-totals, both in 42 mm.

I saw both yesterday at my AD and left completey undecided.

Here some of my observations:

- look : maybe a slight advantage to the chronograph

- wearing comfort : similar, the chronograph being surprisingly thin

- movement : maybe an advantage for the 3 hand watch with finally a movement from GP that correctly fills the case

I know that there are quite a few more knowledgeable people than me about this brand on the forum and therefore it would be helpful to get your views and comments.

Am I missing something important?

Which watch would you choose and why?

Thanks,

Gerard

Gerard, I would go for the " time only ", which looks purer to me. [nt]

Probably also a bit more elegant with it's thinner case profile..

Yes, also. [nt]

I agree too; much more convincing, if Laureato! [nt]

Cant go wrong with both of them imho .

Just go with the one ticks the most boxes for you . I think i would go also for the time only because of its ,,classic,, look .

Both are beautiful. Will need to give it more thought. [nt]

chronograph , dial with beautiful color contrast bits...

Personally I like the time only version much more though the chronograph is quite nice too. [nt]

Thanks, seems that the time only is the clear favorite. [nt]

I too vote for time only...

Two things I don't care for on the chrono: 2-tone dial (black and blue are looking strange to me) and the date at 4:30. YMMV

The colour scheme of the chrono is actually quite nice.

By: jlux : September 7th, 2019-23:06

You definitely have a point with the date placement.

Blue time only for me but it’s not for me as I have my own. Enjoy whichever you choose my friend. [nt]

Another vote for the time-only ...

By: diracpoint : September 8th, 2019-09:53

I have been tempted by the exact same model for a couple of months now, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Some of the earlier versions of the time-only are also very nice. ...
