A "sizeable" surprise
Apr 03, 2015,03:19 AM
I always admired the design and the lines of the GP Ferrari 375 MM monopusher chronograph watch. However, there were several reasons why I never seriously pursued it. For one there was the Ferrari connection, there was the price and there was my impression that this watch is very small. Don't know why, but on photos it comes across as rather small.
Maybe it's the shape and the proportions compared to the strap. When suddenly an opportunity arose to buy the normal GP model with the same case (Ref 8052) at a price I could not do anything wrong, I stopped all hestitation.
When then the watch arrived, I was really surprised. It's BIG! It is approximately the same size as the Vintage 45 King Size but with its think bezel looks even larger. The strap is also 22mm which was probably the reason I was deceived before.
Some serious metal on the wrist but extremely comfortabl;e due to the curved case. All doubts are gone and I love it. Now I even want to get the Ferrari Chrono one day, ideally in white gold.
The small movement is also a surprise, but somehow it fits to this watch.
Great Easter weekend to all.
