GP Ref 2499 black dial … Some Christmas and garden shots
The reflections from some of the plants on the dial turned out to give an interesting effect.
This cushion case 38 mm bi-compax is a favorite of mine. The ref. 2499 had only about 122 pieces of the black dial (more charcoal grey) made circa 2003. And this one is double-signed with the Omani Khanjar engraved on the caseback.
The guilloche pattern gives a 3-D effect for the dial when the light catches it.
One of my favorite GPs neo-vintage pieces☀️

Looks very cool.
Thank you for sharing this one. I agree, the plants give a fun background that play with the watch's surfaces! But what is fascinating to me is the dial. It looks excellent, subtle in black, but still detailed and pretty.
🥰 thank you and this is where NEO
Vintage is very different from vintage and I’m glad you raise the point about the quail out of the dial even after 20 years. The 1990s to early 2000 has some crazy amazing GPs that were off catalog. But one must know the reference numbers to be able to se...
🥰 …. the exact number made for the Omani
is unclear Some reports are 50. Some reports are less.
My pleasure and thank you for
your kind comment. The beauty (and this is what I really want folks to see) of these GP neo vintage pieces … I too like some of the current production pieces but there is some very special neo vintage and rare pieces that folks could add to their collecti...
