Very nice watch Nilo.....
Jul 24, 2012,01:45 AM
I just got my first GP few weeks ago and I LOVE it, very nice photos too! En passant, Mario Andretti won the Formula1 Championship in 1978, although born in Italy, he was American when he won
Kind regards from cold Down Under!

My first, or should I say second GP ...

Since I saw Andrew post about his GP1999 Chronograph, Ref. 4946 I started looking for a similar watch. The discrete elegance of Andrew's GP in association with his great review was a strong trigger. GP does not have a strong presence here where I live and...
That is an excellent catch, Nilo.

These GP Chronos are very nice. Sensual, elegant... If only they didn't have this date! ;) Enjoy yours, it is a pure beauty, even with the Date. :) Best, Nilo and congratulations! Nicolas
I have mixed feelings about the date ...

I own two identical watches (Longines LLD) with and without date and it seems that every time that I need the date I'm wearing the without the date. There are companies that implements the date disk better (The LLD date, as an example). Others, like Rolex...
Congratulations!

Thanks. About Mario Andretti ...

For sure, and Mario also did well on Indy racing later. Phil Hill was the first American to win (1961). Cheers, Nilo
Congratulations!

Dear Nilo, Congratulations on the Ref. 4945. Very pleased I played a small part in pushing you towards it. These GP chronographs are perfect on the wrist and enormously pleasurabl...

Thank you Andrew for the introduction to the GP chronographs. I'm loving the watch and as much I look to the GP, more I like it. I notice that, like the Zenith, the date is located at 4:30 but, here is a nice detail, the data window does not breaks the ta...
Reference 4946, 4945 and 4930

Hello, wow, you really dug out an old post. For a moment I thought Nilo just bought a new GP, well, perhaps now that you reminded him... So a couple of clarifications as this has been asked a few times before. Ref 4946, also called the Vintage 1999 Chrono...
Thanks for the response

I just picked up a 4945 with black dial, lovely watch. To summarize, the 4945 had a solid case back with 2280 movement, and the 4946 had display backs with the 3XXX movements?
Hi CC, indeed a rose gold 4945 does exist!

Saw one on sale today online. The black dial and RG case go well but I wonder about the choice of numerals on top and none below. ...
