GP Ref 4940 salmon dial

I’m usually a little camera shy but perhaps we all have to move beyond our comfort zone sometimes. I’m wearing my Girard-Perregaux ref 4940 here. GP only made 150 pieces of the salmon dial and steel circa 2004 or so. The NEO-vintage era is quite delightfu...  

Thanks very much bro

But that salmon dial is 👌🏻😘. But he i am a sucker for these salmon dials 😉.

True dat. I contemplated putting the salmon dial

In the gold case 😃 but the indices and such would not work. FYI, I just saw that there is a salmon dial ref 4940 like mine on chrono24. 🤝

It’s a bit playful too yes?

Red stars at the 2nd time zone too. Brave and well executed. 🤝

Ah yes, I understand.

I had the black military dial as well. Don’t get me wrong, I like it but I had 5 variants of the same reference. So I sold the black dial. There is a few nice ones on chrono 24. I have this other black dial one which I quite like. 🤝 ...  

Thank you Abu 🥰

No issues at all. Neo vintage. If it was vintage then maybe more issues. My local watch guy serviced this one for me. Naturally, one could always send to back to GP to service. Even parts via 3rd party are readily available. This movement is reliable and ... 

Thank you Orahu

I try to share as much as I can. Many delights await those who look into GP neo vintage when the macaluso family were at the helm. 🤝

Thanks Jesse. Hope one day

You will start to look at GP neo-vintage as well to complement your laureato. 🤝

All excellent. I envy you. G-P have produced some outstanding pieces and deserve more recognition (or, to keep their prices reasonable, perhaps not).

Thanks 👍🏻

The GP neo-vintage pieces seem to keep there value and are some models are evening rising. But I agree with you that they have not been a market darling for a long time. The current production models don’t hold value because ADs in asia are using them as ... 

Marc, very cool.

I actually came across the article elsewhere, kinda stumbled on it a few minutes ago. Only coming back here to see this thread. Long live the passion, as I had said before I appreciate all that you have shared here on GP. I hope you continue to do so.

A lovely piece.

I'm going to see if I can pull off your style guru look! Will be hunting for khaki linen shirts next summer season!
