Very nice as usual ! I love this rattrapante version which I did not know, and interestingly with a different movement / movement base. I will monitor the market who knows !
GP Ref 2598 Ivory Dial
Hello friends ☀️ Today we continue talking about NEO-vintage Cushion case designs from GP from 1999-2005 We have seen pics of my other cushion cases Ref 2498 and 2499 with the gullioche dials. We have also looked at the ref 2598 “military” black dial. Do ...
Yes they did. Ref 9012
About 1,000 made of the 9012 according to an old post by Peter CDE. In steel, yellow, pink, white gold with a few dial colors. I haven’t found the variant I’m looking for yet. Also a bit cautious about servicing costs for the retrrapante should then need ...
Thanks and most welcome 🤗
There is a 9012 on c24. Steel version with cream dial. NOS Lovely 🥰
Yes agree. These were priced
Very very high when GP first launched them in 2002 or so. That’s the lucky thing for us that know … the GP neo vintage pieces are waaaaay cheaper than what they originally sold at back then.
That is a really nice one.
I like these cushion case watches. And of course I would go with the 1960 engraving as this is my birth year!
Oh wow. 1960. I’m surprised you haven’t adding it to
Your collection yet. There is one on c24 at a very good price. Just saw it today from japan.
I had a look at the one on C24.
Strongly beaten up case,no box and papers : nothing that I would want. But,who knows, maybe one day I will discover a piece with full set , in good condition and at a fair price. Until then I will save up money for my dream GP : a three bridges tourbillon...
Hmm, not sure if you are referring to the same one
as there are three different listings from Japan. The one I saw had a nice case. Lack of Box and papers has never bothered me much. A nice to have only. But that’s me. Anyway, different strokes for different folks. 😊👍🏻 A 3 bridges would be an awesome add ...
Love all of the GP excitement out of you!
This one's a beauty, the cream dials from this time period were my favorites. I'd like to think that one day we'll see some of these models reintroduced.
Thanks Tony ☀️ my pleasure
I found that GP collectors tend to be a quiet lot. Hardly post compared to some other brand collectors. (Changing now). There was also a lot of online bullying in some mainstream generic watch groups by others. This has stopped know due to more education ...
Exactly the kind of response I’ve heard dished out by other brands
Sold & Out of Sight=Out of Mind We collectors can be a pain to many brands … Cheers, Cazalea
True dat. Some brands like VC
tend to be very good about heritage and sharing of archives. AP has massive resources both internationally and 3rd parties that have a lot of knowledge about previous models. Almost like a wiki where collective engagement and sharing is info. Alas, GP has...
