They could have added the Mechanics of Art from past year!
Which is, in my opinion, another milestone. Best, Nicolas
Yes, several milestones missing....
But, is is OK - we will try to "discover" all of them during this Anniversary year! :) Best Blomman

Love it. I have a small reserve, though...
I would have been crazy, yes, totally crazy if the dial was enamelled. That would have been, IMMEDIATELY, in my wish list, at the top of it. Nonetheless, a very nice and lovely offer. One question: Is this the dimension of the XXL case? Best, Nicolas
Enamel dial?
Yes, we LOVE enamel dials! :) That would be awesome, but not coherent with the original of course... Same size as the XXL. Best Blomman
They can take some distance with the original, since the original was smaller and manual
Winding, so, why not enamel? ;) Best, Nicolas
Good point...
But I suspect GP wanted to have one affordable Anniversary model. Enamel dial would add to the price... Best Blomman
I would have gone for an all steel, smaller case, and enamel, then.
But hey, this one is not bad looking at all, as it is. Best, Nicolas

You as a Frenchman, I suspect - with! Correct? ;) Best Blomman ...

Hey Blon, If I Was A Baseball Player You Might Be...
... Right. Personally, I love to look at it (the bling) and point my judgemental finger at it (the bling), but at the end of the day the less flashy the better, I say. Great post. Some of those pieces are simply gorgeous. GP has definitely raised its game...
My bad, I always thought your ...
Were a Baseball player! ;) I fully agree with you. If I would turn up at the office with a watch full of ice.... People would really start to wonder! Best Blomman
