It is a superb watch...

It proves once again that pleasure is not linked to money.

You are correct. Is a watch with character. Not big, dresses just fine and I love the central minute counter. I didn't knew about the 60's / 70's name change. I was a little confused during my research by finding the same watch with two names. Cheers, Nil...

This watch seems to accept any type of strap and looks great. Brown, black, sporty or dressing. Everything looks wonderful on this watch. Mine is now with a black calf by C. F. and looks serious and dressy. Cheers, Nilo

Jerome, I was about to trade this GP with something else when your comment arrived on my email. I took another look to the GP and stated "Sorry but is a keeper". It will be hard to find another "Vintage 1960" with this case and, very important to me, a mo...
