That was not my intention. I understand that is an interesting model with great wearing comfort. I'll try to put it another way: there are some other GP watch models that I would rather wear. ☺️
Don't worry

Christian and I own Hublot watches and therefore don't have feelings to hurt
LOLLL

Excellent. 😁

It is a quirkly watch but I like it as a design retro piece. A lot of lovers of vintage here but I think being Quarz markes it less desirable. Still in the metal is pretty nice!
I think it’s pretty cool..

What makes the piece is that is branded Saint Laurent. It is clearly a fashion statement that doesn’t pretend to be anything else. Purely on style and aesthetics I love it😉
Price, maybe.

A reason to increase it.
Impractical watch….

Time is visible for 2/2 secs on demand and at very poor angle …
but still pretty cool 😏

a total rare bird that draws no unwanted attention. Reading the time is not a problem (as long as I have my glasses on) the 2 sec is fine really !
I don’t get it … so I didn’t get it ☺️

Also, it’s a collaboration with YSL … a brand owned today by Kering. And Kering used to own GP. Now GP is owned by management and some “investors”. Who these “investors” are, GP management will not say. Quite unusual for a brand to do a collaboration with...
well I think it is now being elavated to a fashion accessory 😅

I am a bit surprised by some of the reactions, not because I own the 2.0 and ordered this, but really I see so many WOWs about more expensive watches powered by simple ETA movements (not to mention very old, rusted, dirty watches now rebranded as "vintage...
Good points.

Just to say upfront …. No offense meant by any of my comments. My concern has and will always be for any brand having too many limited editions with a minimal change. AP used to do this with offshores and they had learned a very painful lesson. The next p...

I agree that too many LE are normally damaging for a brand. I have seen it also with Panerai (AP not so much as everything goes well above MSRP). Hublot also had many LE and I think is a good thing. Why ? Because it gives more options to the clients. I di...
Appreciated🙏🏻

For AP it was the offshores. Not for the royal oaks. The challenge with the YSL model is that GP is promoting it to themselves. I’ve seen collaborations where they leave it to the other party to promote. And yet, this model is only sold via YSL stores. So...
