Vintage GP: The Prologue – GP 9076C

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 9th, 2014-13:45
So, I promissed you that I would start talking about vintage GP here... But, before I go in to detail about this perticular watch I would like to introduce you to my way of collecting... For those of you that has not read my posts about vintage watches ov...  

Excellent. The Deep Diver is in my wish list. Now, the question is which one.

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2014-13:52
Yours is superb. The B, too, with its funkier look and its internal bezel. The an earlier one, like our mexican friend's one, Alex Sunrise, is my priority. Without date! :) Well, I think I have some place for two! :) Bravo, my friend. I have the feeling w... 

I would definitely have room for...

An early version, like Alex's! :) As for the 9076 B - no it is not the one shown to the left in the ad. That is Ref 9108, which again is completly different with the bezel on the inside... Which I of course also would have room for! ;) Thank you, Nicolas ... 

Stunning !

What a fabulous post ! And a great catch in both the gorgeous watch and the vintage buckles. I do wonder that the watch would have looked better on the lighter strap. Now it is time for me to seek out a Deep Diver. Dean

I will have to try...

Thank you, Dean! :) I will try the other strap when I come home tonight... Best Blomman

What a fabulous report, thank you very much. While I must admit that 70ties or 80ties vintage watches are not my cup of tea, I absulotely adore the passion and detail, the tray, the dealer sign, the old ads, the various straps and buckles in tin cases...L...

Hey CC, Yes, for me - collector's passion what's it all about! :) About 70's and 80's design - well, not for everybody... Me I was growing up during hte 70's, so for me 70's Funky design is nostagic! :) Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman

It is quite unbelievable

Better described as "Killing my fellow Purists slowly" LOL!!! Simply speechless, Blomman! What a beautiful and most charming diver! Envious but oh so happy for you! :-) Thanks for sharing and I cannot wait to continue to enjoy what you have in store for u... 

LOL! "Killing my fellow Purists slowly"

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 10th, 2014-11:27
Well, Alex... You have been "killing me" softly with your Deep Diver for a long time now...! :) Time for me repay the favour... ;) Thank you, my friend - yes, I think we will have a really good time here in the GP forum! Best Blomman

I see, that the Saga is on the rolling.. Liked the "strong boy" by GP.. It is..

.. also interesting how these divers, or toolwatches by different brands have their similaritie, especially in the 60 - 70ies, I find. Thus, your collection history repeats itself, though with a different twist, which is really nice to see ! Therefore, wi... 

Yes, history repeats it self....

We often only look at watches from one brand. But if you zoom out and look cross brands - you will see that since the beginning brands have always followed each other... In design, functions and complications... Just have a look at these 1950's ads from J...
