I'm looking for a Blancpain 2100-1130M these days, and will be based in southeast Asia for this year. Are there any vintage Blancpain dealers that would be a good bet to find one?

Horological Meandering: What to do with these interesting movements?

I've spent the last few years accumulating a small collection (10-15) of my favourite automatic movement. This is the elusive Favre Leuba cal. 269. I love double-barrels coupled in parallel. Like it's cousin the ubiquitous, manually wound FL25x, these are very slim, but without the issues of compara

Collectors Market: FS: Patek Philippe Aquanaut

This Patek Aquanaut dial came from a high end jewelery store, without the numerals. It's 29mm in diameter (mens), though I'm not sure which are all the case reference numbers this will fit. It seems to be in perfect condition to my eyes, asides from the missing numerals. I'll offer it for 395 euros

Audemars Piguet: Rare royal oak dials?

Girard Perregaux: Sea Hawk I on loose-knit mesh

I put my Sea Hawk I ref 7100 on mesh the other day and thought I'd share. This one has the double barrel GP215 movement. This message has been edited by flawless51 on 2015-04-18 02:11:33

Girard Perregaux: Here it is

The GP215 / Lemania 881x is running perfectly, but the watch needs a bit more work than I thought. Not sure where to source a GP 7100 bezel insert, correct crown, and a case back screw (head is stripped on one of them). I attached a couple pics. Love the watch.

Girard Perregaux: Movement

Thanks for the reply. Will be glad to have a slim diver in my collection. Any idea if GP modified the GP215 from its Lemania base movement? Other than the coloured plating/decoration?
