Friends, Let’s continue this vintage summer menu! You know the drill by now; let’s bring out the tray... My guess is that this box does not belong to the watch, but the purple makes it a very pretty box. So, let’s open and see what’s inside. Yes, as state...  

Fantastic catch, Blomman, my friend. WOW!

Isn't it exactly the same case than the Omega and JLC, made by Hugunenin Freres, if I remember correctly? Even the date doesn't disturb me, on this one, which means a lot. You go very fast, my friend. Bravo huge congratulations! Nicolas

Very small differences, if any...

Thank you, my friend! :) Yes, this spring I had a jumping start into the GP vintage world... Actually I have a couple more to show you in due time. Best Blomman

I am impressed. And a bit afraid, as the theme is quite wide, if you want to

Get all the variations! But nothing is impossible, as you used to say in Swedish... The GP Museum will have an antenna in Sweden, too! ;) Best, Nicolas

Not sure how far I will go....

Incredible!!

Watch is just awesome and when compared to Omega and JLC I again can't understand how underrated GP is (but maybe for the best ;) ) Honestly I like this diver much more than Omega and JLC brother (OK let the roast begin :) ) Now what made my day is the wa...

You are right, my friend! I know we do not speak about prices here, but yes, GP is very underrated! I wonder if it is because of information and knowledge or because there are very few around... ? It can't be due to quality, that I am very sure of! Best B...

He uses this detective .... He has him on a retainer and uses the fact that Wallander is his neighbor. He wakes up, call Kurt W. and done. Any watch. Cheers, Nilo Note: Very nice detective movie (I saw the entire series in Swedish and then the BBC one).

LOL! Nilo, you have ...

Yes, the "Elonge Du Temps" was running with me for a long time... I will give him a rest for awhile.... But for sure - he will come back! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

That indeed is a stunning watch

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : July 1st, 2014-08:19
Especially on the tropical strap! I'm not necessarily that keen on vintage watches, but vintage divers I do like and a specimen like this: wow. Much better than all the remakes / re-editions. It's not the real thing in the end. Congrats!

Thank you, Arie! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : July 1st, 2014-11:43
I can't more than agree... Nothing beats the real thing! :) Best Blomman

Fabulous....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : July 2nd, 2014-10:36
....and a superb diving theme you are creating....across so many manufactures too. This GP diver.....a beauty. Can't wait to see this in reality

I knew you would like this one, Baron! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : July 2nd, 2014-12:48
Yes, the vintage divers theme from different brands is on of the themes I hold dear.... For me this one is a important part of that collection. Still need to find "My Rolex" vintage diver. The interesting part of going cross brands is when you discover th... 

its one ENORMOUS theme

Fantastic addition to your collection, Blomman. I really enjoyed your review, and most importantly, how nice it looks on your wrist!!! Looking forward to more surprises in the summer series. :-) Cheers, Alex

Yes, more to come, Alex! :)
