An old photo: Girard-Perregaux Deep Diver pair 7254
Just stumbled over this old side-by-side shot of the 1st generation Deep Diver, so thought I'll share it. The black is mine and the white belongs to Blomman. CC ...
I can imagine yes :-/
But the hunt is an interesting part of our passion ;-) Best wishes Alkiro

I think between you and me, we probably own 10% of the still existing population
Thanks HS
