Throwback Thursday – 1968 Girard-Perregaux Damier 7838
Friends, A short break in all the Novelties. Let’s take a ride back to 1968 and have a look at my first catch of the year… The Girard-Perregaux reference 7838 with Damier dial: At first it looks very much like the reference 7427 with Damier dial… But if y...
Congratulations! What a superb catch!
and very interesting to see that is has a different Ref Number than my Gold Damier with Date and seconds hand (8631 W). CC
Your 8631 is from a later period....
Look at the Logo! Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman
Yes, the Ref# also points to a later time
but good to see that this design was in production for a few years, so better chance of still finding some
All I can see here is an extra amount of pain :)
Great way to start a year my friend...looking at it this will be another extraordinary year full of pain for us Cheers D
Pain? I like to ...
Think pleasure! Best, my friend Blomman PS. Hopefully you are right...!
Wow.. What a nice arrival & in superb condition l !.. Bravo !!.. Also love the add'l sec hand.. for me it's Retro but avantgarde at the same time
Wear it in the Best of your health, dear friend ! Cheers, hs
Thank you, dear HS!
Seconds hand and date change the character a lot! Best, my friend Blomman
Congratulations on this additional Damier!
And you are definitely right - both the seconds hand and the date add a certain something to the appearance of the watch!
The Damier is all about the dial!
If in so-so condition, you better pass.... Best Blomman
Why do I like this piece so much?
It says nothing, yet everything. It wreaks of vintage, but oozes contemporary cool. Fascinating timepiece!

7838 Inquiry
Hi Blomman, My father passed away recently and left a number of items to me, among those a 7838 in really good conditions with minor scratches, working conditions, no straps (I added one already). I love the watch from first sight and have taken it alread...
Warm welcome here Miguel!
Sorry about your father, he had great taste in watches! My advice would be to use it and enjoy it as a memory of your father! If ever any problems, find a good vintage watchmaker. Just stay away from water! As for value, here at PusistS we do not discuss ...
Thanks for your comments
I am alredy following your recommendation! Appreciate your words and I will continue looking for opportunities to learn more and more about these beautiful vintage watches. Cheers!
