Which other models are you referring to?
This 8010 laureato is 7.9 mm thick
The 81005 laureato (38 mm is about 10.1 mm). Same for the 41 mm 81000
The 42 mm laureato is the thickest.
So yes, the 8010 is the thinest mechanical laureato that exists.
Thanks for your questions ☀️

It looks much thinner than your other models or is it just the angle of the camera?

Beautiful. Much more elegant than the newer iteration.
36 mm is perfect. But I heard that the bracelet is quite stiff. What is the water resist rate? Screw down crown?
Thanks.
There are two types of bracelets. Stiffer one and the more floppy one. This is the stiffer one. Seems ok for me. 10 ATM Screw down crown. Thanks for your questions ☀️
Thanks Marc. Wish GP also bring back interesting models in the past, for example Gyrodate
Focus only in Lauraeto would make them like AP, which rely too much on Royal Oak
Yes, I agree with you.
I can’t say I super love any of the other production GPs. I’m not a big fan of the Absolute either. Pretty much like the classic laureato for the most part. I have not considered the 3 bridges and such as they are in a different price category and general...
☺️ wear no watch during the game
There is usually a massive clock (usually an AP type wall clock on steroids) on the side of the pitch anyway.
I forgot to add Tritium dial to the list
of little extra notes. ATM 10 Screw down crown It still blows my mind that some folks chasing only production laureato at pretty steep MSRP while neo vintage pieces are still available on chrono24 and such. Same thing happened with the PP nautilus 3700, 3...
Thanks Shafran
And the blue dial has a friend 🥰 Off catalog Champagne 🥂 dial The pieces with the 2-tone bracelet as well are harder to come by. ...
Your photos of the real watch are so much better than their marketing material
I like this watch a lot
☺️ thanks bro
Yeah, the catalogs back in 1995 were a bit flat. They have some other nicer pics that I’ll share as well. The old catalogs and price lists are a gold mine. Many pieces are so rare and they were soooo expensive back then. If one knows.
