My preference is for the original version
The dial looks less cluttered and has a more airy feel. I think it's because the minute track is further in and the hour numerals clutter the current version a lot more. It isn't bad in itself, but when comparing side by side, it just looks like there's a lot of stuff going on at the same time. However, I don't quite like the "limited edition" written on the dial of the original. I think that should just stay on the case back and not be advertised on the dial side.
Girard-Perregaux Vintage 45, large date, moonphase, Ref 2580
Friends, Time to show a fresh shot of the original large date/moonphase Vintage 45 in the King Size case, Ref 2580. Here you have the Club Italia Limited Edition to 50 pieces. The normal Ref 2580 was only available in precious metal cases, with the except...

Thanks for your input, Richard
we are on the same page. I do like the modern XXL Vintage 45, but for the large date/moonphase I would go for the blue sapphire dial, a very different watch. I also really love my time-only/small seconds Vintage 45 XXL. Yes, the Limited Edition is not nec...
I would be hard-pressed to choose which, if given the choice.
Your poinst are right-on. I would add that i like the Breguet numerals better, but two numbers fit the dial better. Anyway, cheers to you. It's another great GP in your collection.
Thanks Padj, yes applied Breguet numerals are something stunning
and you know I do have the small seconds Vintage 45 XXL with Breguet numerals.
Aahh.. An absolute beauty !.. Really like that black sublime dial with this splendid moon & the symmetry through date & moon !!
Sincere Congrats to you ! Guess, I never have seen it, so pls bring her along, next time ! This watch to me is in total harmony !.. Best, with envy hs
Hi HS, this watch I have owned for a long time
but surely can bring it with me next time. Ah, the list is growing, need to start packing the truck
Here our tastes differ....
I like your 2580, but prefer the dial design of the XXL. Best Blomman
It's hard for me to choose between this two, and I would love to see something like this
with the original case (for my small wrist). 1. keep the dark blue sky and golden moon. 2. Replace the minute markers with minute track. 3. Replace the 3 & 9 hour marks with a similar triangle at the 12. 4. Black date disc (to match the black dial) with w...
