Girard Perregaux: Hi amanico. I am thinking about selling my Railtimer. I contacted GP and they said they can't provide a dial for me, and I haven't had luck elsewhere. Any idea what mine would be worth with the dial as-is?

Then in 2019 on a trip I came across a small selection of vintage stuff at a flea market and it went downhill from there. I now have a mix of modern and vintage, but leans heavily vintage.

Girard Perregaux: Resurrecting a Railtimer

I bought this GP Railtimer as "parts only" at an antique show a few years ago. It is a Canadian market model from before they switched to the 0 dial. I tried to find an original dial for a while, but didn't have any luck, so finally just spent the money to get the movement serviced and have been wea
