Girard Perregaux

Summer harvest part 3 - Blue weekend...

 

weekend of love... After unforgettable weekend I returned home and find package...after opening it my heart started to beat faster...long hunted Ref 9490...GP+alarm+blue=whole lotta love. GP favorite brand and chiming watches favorite complication...nuff said. Hunt looked very patient...2 msg with GP gang members and that was it...locked and....loaded...immense thanks for help and support dear mafiosos smile After opening package I noticed that what looked like imperfect dial on seller pictures was nothing but specks from hour buttons...patient as I am I called my watchmaker 5 mins after and told him not to close shop before I arrive... End result...brutally nice watch



Crowns...check...



Ref between lugs...check..



It never hurts to have purple GP box wink



another awesome weekend memento



New watch deserves new strap...



This one will be called Luke Skywalker...cos there are very few Jedis...after talking to No1 expert and knowing this ref was made in only 350 pieces both white and blue dial..ballparking says no more that 100 to 150 blue were ever made...so I think name fits nicely wink



What a weekend! A blast! Cheers D P.S. Now only one big problem remains and you all know what that is wink smile

and the best of dial colours too. Clearly you're delighted, and wear it in the best of health (as they say around here) All the best, Giles

Much appreciated Giles
