Really love the unobtrusive but so charming appeal !.. A classic & fine watch - Not more, no less !..
.. And meanwhile I'm wearing mine more and more,
with increasing pleasure.
I guess, I'll have to look also for a flat-dialled one,
and even more I' m hunting an arrow-Crosshair one,
such as the one from Nico..

GP Richeville 8445, some fresh shots
Friends, a couple of fresh shots of the GP Richeville 8445 from around 1965. This is my "flat-dial" version with Chronometer spec. This will hopefully help to get over the dull winter days. CC...
Your time will come
those are actually not that hard to find. You only need to be faster than Blomman, which is difficult enough
Classic Tritium GP? Nice!
Nice, vintage piece. After spending time at GP's manufacture, I have a lot of respect for the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into their work. I'd love to see inside of your GP. If they ever crack the case open, be sure to take pics!
Vintage Richevilles
thanks for the kind words. Will take some movement shots when I get a chance. This one actually has no Tritium / no lume. The Richevilles, as far as I know where all without lume. CC
Mine have no lume either....
But the "T" to the right of "SWISS" indicates that it should have. On the other hand - a watch with no lume in the hands, why would you have it on the dial? Another mystery to solve...! Best Blomman
I think we have seen the "T" not being used consistently
quite often there are no lume dials marked SWISS T or even T SWISS T, indeed a mystery.
Good to see you here Todd!
So you had the chance to visit the manufacture? Then you were in for a treat! Best Blomman
Those are great photos.
And Richevilles never fail to surprise me. So many changes over the decades. Enjoy it in the cold winter.

No need to apologise!

Richeville 8445
Hi CC. I purchased one of these in Singapore in 1967 whilst in the RAF. it's had a hard life, having smashed the glass and bent the sweep hand working in a Vulcan bomb bay. However have just sent it back to the GP Clinic and now back on my wrist, keeping ...

1967 Richeville
Thanks for the welcome CC. I guess that I can't class myself as 'passionate' about GP's but thought the forum might appreciate a 'life story' of one watch. it will probably be passed on at my sons 50th in 2022 and then hopefully to one of his 2yr old twin...
Welcome!
A first owner of the Richeville 8445! Please share some shots and stories about your watch. Best Blomman
