One year with the Girard-Perregaux 1966
Friends,
One year has passed since I got the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Enamel dial.
A wonderful watch that got much more wrist time this year than any of my watches normally get!
To celebrate this I Changed the strap on my watch, from black alligator with stitches to a dark brown alligator without any stitches.
What do you think?
I find it very elegant!

Is blue the new black? Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Hour in white gold sparks debate on blue dial trends. Collectors discuss GP's classic use of blue.

Wonderful combo on a wonderful watch
I think it gives it a very warm appeal. However, don't throw away the black one, I think it also fits well in a more formal setting
The black strap is in very good condition despite all that ....
The strap had to go through this year - formula, drool, sun, sweat.... Good to have options! Best Blomman
The black strap makes the watch look more formal....
But I will probably switch back and forth! Best Blomman
I really like it with the brown strap. Very classy.
Funny thing, though...I think I've seen those stones before...somewhere else?
It is my signature stones...! ;)
If you see these exact stones anywhere else - the shot has to been taken in my watch room! Thank you, Padj. Best Blomman
Love these new shoes !.. Without stiches, this strap is superb, classy & chic !.. Well done !.. Best, my friend ! :)) [nt]

Let's hope the stitch-less strap will hold as good as the one with stitches...
The black strap still look like new! Best, my friend Blomman
Both are very nice
But the strap change does modify the character of the watch. The black is more classically formal, while the brown is more \'Italian\'.
Brown seems to be a colour much more accepted in Italy
Than in the Anglo-Saxon environment. Starting with the acceptance of brown shoes to go with navy suits, to - as in your case - brown watch straps to go with the combo
Bingo!
Excellent, blomman, I prefer this chestnut-reddish brown strap to the original black one, because it match and highlight the dial red accents. Now, can I suggest you could try a dark blue strap, with white stiching, to match the hands? Ciao, Elio
I am not sure if the Pink Gold will be a good combo with blue...
But will try if I can find the right strap! Thank you, Elio. Best Blomman
I have a spare blue strap :)
Let me take a photo with my PG 1966 and then we can judge. I will not properly mount it but just put it on top if that's okay.
Blue strap (dark blue) with PG case
So here is a photo of my 1966 how it would look with a dark blue strap. I think it works too: To compare, with its brown strap it currently has. CC ...
It works, but...
And probably even better on my Enamel dial due to the headed blue hands... But personally I prefer the brown! Best Blomman
It was only a try, will keep the brown for now
and I also still have the stitchless black strap, but in principle the blue does work and BTW: I do have a heated blue hand too, okay only one
The watch itself is so pure... a clean dial in a colored gold case.
I like the new strap without stitches to compliment the wonderful head. Congrats on the year, a real testament of your love for the piece.
Still feels like honeymoon phase!
Thank you, Micheal. Yes, after one year, it still feels like the honeymoon phase! Best Blomman
