Mimo Centric, a superb vintage.

One of the nicest regulators I've ever seen.


The case is superbly shaped, with some excellent proportions ( 36 mm big, around 8 / 9 mm high ), without forgetting the bevelled lugs.

The dial is eye catching, with its subdials dedicated to the hours, minutes, and this long second hand. Yuo have to get used to read the time this way, indeed, but it comes quickly.

I couldn't see the manual movement, as we worried to ruin the case back, but it will come, one day.

 

 

On the top of my Vintage GP hunting list, to say all.

Best,

Nicolas

Vintage GP Regulator

A vintage GP regulator is on my wish list too. I have been close a couple of times to a GP vintage regulator (not MIMO) but in the end gave it a miss. Very much a minefield with redone, fantasy dials, so very hard to find that genuine Regulator out there.... 

That is a big problem when it comes to vintage GP.

Or a big luck, as if they all came with a perfect dial, I would end living in the street. ;) Best, Nicolas.

You are not??? I'm already living in the street

Very attractive watch indeed, I have never seen this little marvel not even during my erratic, vagabond searches on the net:) I love that dial, the "colour" combination is superb, (it is the "patina"?) lugs and case too, so sensual. I have always had a li... 

This one is a marvel! :)
