My first Laureato Evo3 and Quartz ♥️
Friends, I’m excited to announce a new arrival to my GP collection. A double first for me … a quartz and also my first Laureato Evo3 (Generation 4 of the Laureato). We have been talking about the pivotal role that GP played in the quartz world. 👉🏼 In 1970...
Wonderful watch,
I really enjoy that you can see the movement; a rarity with quartz pieces.
Thanks very much.
The single bridge battery cover is a nice touch yeah? Move and clean caseback
Thanks bro. Begging gets one
Everywhere. The only folks I won’t beg is an Authorized dealer. ☺️ Brochure says 11.8 mm. I have it at 11.3 mm ...
Congrats to you Marc.
It is a good looking watch. And I enjoy your knowledge and enthusiasm of this brand. I always learn sometjlng from your posts 😃
Congratulations. Beautiful and rare watch. I like the dial. The size is too big for my dainty wrist.
The bracelet is very similar to IWC ingenieur (previous generation, ref 3239) bracelet.
Thanks bro.
I see the similarity with the bracelet from the Ingenieur. I’m generally not a huge fan of the Evo3 line as I find them quite big. But this one seems to do the trick. Doesn’t feel massive. And the dial looks quite nice. The famous GP grey blue. I’ll post ...
Absolutely superb!
And this is perhaps the best finished quartz movement that I have ever seen !!
Me too …. Not that I see many
: ) I don’t see myself going on a quartz buying spree anytime soon. But this one is special and I thought it ticks 2 boxes for me … evo3 and quartz. And you know me … I like ‘em like my steak… rare. ☺️
Huge congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
Glad you decided to take the plunge! Very curious to hear your experiences with it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Many thanks 🤝
I’m curious as well as to how I like it. Seems to fit well enough. Good to have some variety… says the guy who has more GPs left and right 😅
Beautiful. Your passion for GP is overwhelming. Specifically the Laureato line. Excellent time piece. 😊
Warm appreciation for sharing your joy and passion. 😊 Geross.
A rare bird and serious catch, congrats ! I only ever so one about 6 -7 years ago ? and was impressed with its accuracy numbers as well as the very limited production. Good fit too on my 18cm arm
The asking price was to impresssive 😁 for me, something like 6K euro. I hope you did better but if not, still a great watch !
Thanks Ron.
Yeah, MSRP was USD 11,000 One was sold on the secondary market at about € 9,000 not very long ago. So they are definitely a collectors item. I promised the seller I would keep the price to myself. And we also had a complicated trade etc etc. So yeah, I’m ...
I just saw as well ❤️
I don’t think polished but agree that there is more wear on it. I think good price too.
That is a beauty
ive always looked away from quartz although I loved the Rolex, but this is too good to look away from. Really stunning. Congratulations
Evo 3 quartz
Simply excellent! I spent years trying to track down one of these, no joy unfortunately. Never understood those with a mechanical only view. Quartz has its place and this is as good as it gets. This and the large date/moon phase/power reserve the best of ...
Thanks Yan. Agree 💯
Keep searching. Took me a few years to find one. The challenge is that there are very few posts about the 80188. I plan to change that. It also has an added benefit (for those looking for one) to “chum the water a bit”. So folks that have it may consider ...
