Ah, you limit yourself to only one watch...? ;)

Agree, the CE is more "easy to wear".
Would I choose the CE over the Tri-Axial? Yes.
Does that make me not want the Tri-Axial? No!
You see, you should not limit yourself in theory....
There are already too many limitations in reality, so in mind you should be open for everything!
Who knows, maybe you win the Euro Jackpot tomorrow....
Best, my friend

I think you captured the nature of this beauty very well and I agree with your view. Yes, it's for the very few but let's hope it will not be a watch that is purchased for a life in a bank safe. Now at one point your logic breaks down though :) " My eyesi...
Thank you, CC!

The side view shot is actually a very interesting one since it show both the side window AND how well the lugs goes around the wrist. About the visability on the dial... If I had this watch, my focus would not be on the hour/minute dial... It would be on ...
The problem with that...

is you get completely hooked and forget the time over this. So it's a watch that decelerates life. Hey, that's another very appealing feature. :)
Sorry...

I was faster, but I make a special royalty price to GP. They can sell 9 of the Tri-Axial Tourbillon without paying life decelerating royalty to me if I get the 10th. I'm very reasonable! CC :D
Very nice report. This watch will have to be hidden...

under the cuff if I were to wear it. I can't imagine when walking and swinging your arm, it "clanks" with another bypasser's watch or hit some cabinets or door way frame.... Well, worry too much because I won't be able to afford it anyhow :)) 48mm is too ...
Under the cuff will be challenging, Raymond! :)

Thank you! Well, think about it, I guess you will overcome the mentally overcome the size once you put the usage in the right perspective. That what happened to me! :) Best Blomman
Well, for humble me.. This is pretty much a No-Go, Sorry my friend !.. ;))

.. First of course, is the sheer size & thickness, also. Despite the fact, GP tried very hard, by masterful lug-curving to at least visually " shrink" it a tiny bit, I maintain, that there is a border between, what can be done and what should be done.. - ...
Thank you for your point of view, HS!

Yes, as I started my review - this is not a watch for everybody! Interesting to read that you prefer the PG version. A perfect example of how diverse our taste and perceptions of a watch is. For me, this is a much more attractive version of the Tri-Axial ...
You don't need to refil....
