Friends, I just wanted to share a quick shot of the Vintage 1945 XXL with Large Date and Moon-Phases. A stunning piece I had the chance to see - and of course, I will come back to this one more in details! Hope you all will have a great weekend and please...  

Looking forward to it...

I like the all-round applied Breguet numerals (well see my Wristscan contribution) and I also like the large date now having a black background. What's I'm not used to yet is the XXL case and the bracelet.... To compare, a quick shot of its predecessor, t...

What did you see, my friend?! ;) Time for a new GP?! :) Best Blomman

Yes, but which one...?

We saw so many that I am not sure which one is on your brain... ;) Best Blomman

My GP

 
 By: BentN : August 1st, 2014-12:22
is getting a bit old now. The USA-71 Oracle Racing. And for the dial - it is crystal clear in the night and the 9-12 and 3 markers stand out good. Love this layout. A bit similar to some of the Blancpain Evolution pieces I feel. It's not getting much wris...  

Welcome Bent!

Welcome to the GP forum! Great to read you here. Nice looking Sea Hawk you got! Is that the BMW/Oracle with carbon dial? Please feel free to share some more shot! :) Best Blomman

First time I see this one on bracelet

and I must repeat my old rule..... GP's are watches that never should have bracelets Of all brands I find it most unappealing to have bracelet pared to their watches is GP Yours D

I tend to agree, dear Damjan...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 3rd, 2014-03:04
But that may not come as a big surprise since I am not a big fan of bracelets or folding buckles.... :) Best, my friend Blomman

You got me again!

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : August 3rd, 2014-03:18
No folding buckles..... Tooo much similarity tooo much :) Yours D

What you are saying is that...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 3rd, 2014-03:30
We don't need two collections - we could share one...?! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

I realized ...

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : August 3rd, 2014-03:31
some 4 years ago that I live all my dreams through your collection :) Yours D

Pssstt...

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : August 3rd, 2014-12:04
maybe my wife reads this ;) then I'm doomed I'll have to leave my beautiful county and that would broke my heart--- only your collection would then make comfort ;) Yours D

No, that would be a shame...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 3rd, 2014-12:27
I need to come visiting more often instead! :) Best Blomman

Told you...

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : August 3rd, 2014-12:30
you are the sane one :) ;) Cheers my friend Yours D

LOL! ;) [nt]

Stunning indeed!

First time I see it on a bracelet. How does the bracelet feel and wear Blomman? I think bracelets help those with small wrists carry larger watches as they close the lugs gap usually. :) Good for someone like me to know the GP vintage 1945 XL has bracelet... 

The bracelet is very nice, Robin

Very soft and supple! Comfortable. Personally I prefer leather strap, but this bracelet is very nice on the wrist! Yes, I think you are right about the point that it helps if you have a smaller wrist. But remember that it also becomes heavier... Best Blom...
