Neo Vintage GP ; And another mini meet up.

An intro to neo vintage GP, with who else but SingaporeMarc. 


Continuing my mini meetups with friends on the forum both Marc and I managed to get our schedules aligned to spend some time together.  I should note Marc literally went way way out of his way to make this happen, thanks again Marc. 


So like many of you I’ve been reading his posts here and feeling the enthusiasm.  The subject matter is not something I am familiar with but when someone is this invested then I’m of course also curious.  


We had a great chat about some of the more philosophical points of watch collecting, together with chatting about some shared frustrations.  


Marc was gracious enough to share some of his collection with me.  I was definitely curious to see the 8010, a perfect size for my smaller wrist and fitting for my “sports watch” preference.  


There were some other very cool GP on the table.  But honestly, as this wisdom which was shared with Marc in his earlier days puts it perfectly “Buy what you like.  But, buy what you like”, the three 8010 on the table really sang to me. 


There have been several posts about the 8010 here, both from Marc and of course from crown comfort.  So it time for me to do some re-reading, and then some more reading. 


Here are some photos.

It was my pleasure 🤝

Very nice to have met you Jay. I’m glad you reached out and the mutual effort to meet up was well worth it. You had mentioned that you had only tried on the current production laureatos prior to this. I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed trying on some of...
