Buy from a seller you know and trust.

True statement

 
 By: Jimmygx1 : July 18th, 2019-17:57
The seller does have 100% feedback but it is a uncommon model and brand so its hard to find points of references as if was a rolex

I can get more information if i ask the seller

 
 By: Jimmygx1 : July 18th, 2019-18:03
I just need to know what questions to ask cause not every dealer is gonna know in good faith if the watch has been refinished or dial swapped

Agree 100% with Spangles

I was just concerned with aftermarket parts or refinishing mostly

Thank you ive been able to find more info on this watch

After many hours of researching its just so hard to find info on Girard-Perregaux in general

Notice that the SS versions say "Manufacture Girard-Perregaux"

Not sure why this is different.

Where does it say that? On the dial or caseback? [nt]

 
 By: Jimmygx1 : July 19th, 2019-15:45
I saw one exact same model on the internet that was nos from a reputable dealer that had the same caseback on it

Dial

 
 By: Jimmygx1 : July 19th, 2019-16:25
If you are talking about the dial there are two different dial configurations as well

Here is a picture of the movement

All correct

Hi Jimmy, this is all correct IMHO. There indeed a rare two tone Laureato Olimpico variant. Solid gold interlinks and bezel. Hope you got it. Best, Marc
