GP 2598 —- “Military” Black dial
Good morning 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. Here we see the reference 2598. About 850 pieces made f...
Yes agree. The German name for it
… I forget … dopple something? 🤔 The GP 2598 long lugs extend the case. ...
Yes indeed. I see strong influence
From the likes of the Lemania Majetek pilots watch. 🤗 From the late 1930s. Has that distinctive cushion case with the extended lugs.
A wonderful watch!
I like this cushion case very much. On the photo it looks bigger than 38mm. What is the height?
And 9.4 mm on the first tier of the case step
The extra height for the raised bezel is for the 6 hands to clear each other.
So it’s a massive watch with much wrist presence
despite the relatively small case size.

Ha ha, thanks 😊
Was being careful to not scratch anything with the callipers and take the pic with the other hand. 😮💨
Thanks. No story with the polished vs
the brushed lugs and shoulders of the case. They just made a few one way vs. the other. You can always polish your satin brushed lugs to make them polished if you like.
