Girard-Perregaux, Deep Diver 9108 FA – A vintage review
Friends, Time to go deeper into the Deep Diver theme: the Girard-Perregaux, Deep Diver 9108 FA – A vintage review! You have all seen my avatar – the Deep Diver Trident. You all know my love for vintage dive watches and you all know my love for building th...
Wonderful find and interesting read
Very nice catch, my friend. I absolutely love the colours on this one. Yes, the case is a bit bulky but still very characteristic and worthy of a Diver. Interesting findings on the production and that the manufacturer files may not always be 100% correct/...
Yes, to dig the history ....
Is not always straight forward.... But a lot of fun! :) The manufacture have a lot of good and interesting information, but not always complete. A lot has been lost over the years.... That is why we have to connect the dots! ;) Thank you, my friend! Best ...
That is one I want to find. It's been in my mind for several years.
Didn't have the chance to grab one, though. I find it very cool. The case makes me think about the ( smaller ) JLC Master Mariner Deep Sea, which is also a Piquerez case. The dial is so cool. As well as the minute hand. Now, choosing between the blue and ...
Yes, the case is very similar to the Master Mariner....
I should do a side-by-side shot. This one is definitely for you, Nicolas! You just have to be faster to grab....! ;) Best Blomman
You know I have problems to buy online. So, I am restricted to domestic markets.
But when my luck comes, I won't miss it... Best, nicolas
Lucky for you, you don't live in Sweden...
Then your vintage collection would only be Omega, Tissot and Lemania....! ;) Best Blomman
Excellent!
Endless bag of surprises you have my friend Congrats That one in red is sure sexy ;) Your D
Imagine the red on the Adriatic Sea....!

.. I like the cushion case shape and the dial even more.. - For me the Blue one, pls ! Your Vintage nose is famous meanwhile, I trust ! - This Compressor (?) Diver addition for you Is no exception; very á propos for your collectipn ! - GP & Diver & Compre...
To seek, to hunt, to ....
Catch - a big part of the fun, my friend! :) Too bad my truck is small..... ;) Best Blomman
It is very beatiful...
Thank you for a explanation, it was very interesting. Best Jes
A lot of interesting watches to discover....
Time and patience will bring them forward! :) Thank you, Jes! Best Blomman
Congrats on the catch
Well done Blomman, what a nice specimen! Nothing less than I expect from treasure hunter like you! Appreciate the investigative wrk too! What are your thoughts on the comparison with zenith's defy series from the same era? Chris
This GP Deep Diver is much more ...
Thank you, Chris - it has been a long hunt... This GP Deep Diver is much more "Butch", IMO... Compared with the 1970's Zenith Defy, it is bigger and more bulky. Zenith was on to the modern "Funky" case shape but didn't follow up on the size... Here is a s...
Whoaa!
I knew I should have expected you to pull that piece out! Thanks for the opinion and pic! Chris
My pleasure, Chris!
We are several here in the forum having the Defy. A very funky piece! :) Best, my friend Blomman
