I remember
but, I would not change the dial or the case material. I think white gold is perfect for this chrono and I actually like the charm of the two close-together subdials.
Solid case back? No, if they put in the lovely manual wind movement, otherwise I agree 
The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Chronograph
one watch we don't discuss that often here is the 1966 Chronograph, the 1st Generation without date and automatic movement. I had the pleasure to try on the white gold version recently and it's perfect for my wrist. I do want to see the blue in real as we...
That's a super watch. Silver or white, it is sublime.
A solid case back would have been a better choice, IMO, but as it is I love it. Remember Blomman's post? Put a tantalum case back, and a black dial, or navy blue, plus a manual winding movement and we have a bomb. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Dear Nicolas,
May I know why you think a solid case back would have been a better choice? Thank you.

I do like this Chrono dial layout, including the more central subcounters.. For me a clean, yet elegant piece.. :))
.. this WG version has this hidden tad of more shine, but staying nonobtrusive, yet with convincing appeal.. Probably true, the blue-scaled, & blued hands version ( guess, here these are black) sounds promising. As so many times with subtleties, the true ...
Thanks for the feedback, HS!
Yes, this one is hard to get out of your mind. The blue dial is extremely nice, but probably less versatile. Here is a shot of the blue dial I have to credit to somebody unknown. CC ...
Thx kindly for the pic !.. I'm not too sure about readability on the example shown.. Did you have a chance to see that in real ? :))
I guess, the contrast is the crucial point. And that is very good on the white/silver dials. Thx again for the illustration ! Best, hs
Blue dial chrono
Today, I had a chance to handle the blue dial in real during my travels in Dubai. Readability is very good, no issue with that. However, I must confess that for me the white dial is more attractive after having played with both. The white printing on the ...
This is a watch that I could not like when I first saw it.
The dial seemed crowded, and pushed into the middle by the shear scale (intended) of the Tachy scale. But seeing it here today makes me wish I could see it in the metal once again. What I initially took to be an overcrowded dial is now appearing to me to ...
very often, designs that grow slowly on you
will last longer. Glad to inspire you for a second look. CC
Yes, this one is very nice!
And even if the blue dial is more eye catching - I think the white dial is stunning! Best Blomman
The more I see this model
The more I admire it Such a classical Chrono! Probably under appreciated by collectors Thanks for sharing CC Cheers Robin
