Girard Perregaux

This is going to be a somewhat unusual thread. On the Rolex forum, I once posted a thread entitled " 5 simple rules for vintage Rolex beginners . " The aim of the thread was to help direct vintage beginners (somewhat of an oxymoron there) through the proc... 

Bad news, my friend... Best, Nicolas

........what I want to stay intact is the chronometer movement....so will be more flexible on era. Some things are more important than others....would have been nice to make it 60s......but not a must.

There is one reference that I know of and it was written about on this very website: As for the automatic Gyromatic Chronometer HFs, track me down and I can show you what a full box and paper set looks like as I have one watch with every piece of paperwo... 

I will not say that it is easier to buy for example Rolex or Jaeger then it is Girard-Perregaux... BUT, from my experience - there is a difference! If you are hunting a Rolex or JLC there are: 1. Knowledge and confirmation. Tons of reference material. Boo... 

…..i can't approach the hunt in the same way that I go about Rolex. That will make it much harder for me. I like to have a very clear focus. Having said that, i guess my first lesson has to be that I need to adjust my approach and time frame. Condition is... 

That easy to catch! But that is the exciting part of the game, isn't it? Best, Nicolas

I would say that this would be a good start point - GP 9086: There are a lot of different refs here with different case shapes... But, from what I know, I think you would prefer a more classic shape. Best Blomman ...  

Of the dial - White and Blue. Both with a brushed surface. Best Blomman ...  

......i think as much as I like the design of the vintage chrono, I am erring towards the simplicity of this HF....the brushed dial certainly adds a lot for me. Great macro shots!

Yes, I can't more than agree! The texture of the dials are great. Best Blomman

That there are "first generation" and "second generation" models. Calibre 32.7 is a chronometer HF sans date whereas 32A has a date. Calibre 42.1 has a longer power reserve as the barrel is larger. There are various case and dial designs such as reference... 

Double tap reply :) 1. You pull a "Blomman" and gets it! - this is and should be reference sentence/expression for certain SOP regarding watch hunting 2. You proved what you sad to me recently that Vlad is rookie for you you managed to tun Joe quicker to ... 

Mr. Baron! :) But I am not sure if credit are in place to be handed out... AFAIK, our dear friend already have a GMT in his stunning collection! Or is that one to be counted as his wife's....? Best Blomman

...I was in London yesterday and visited a number of vintage dealers. Not a single GP amongst them. Omega, Vacheron, Zenith, Rolex, Patek etc etc.....but not a single GP. It is now getting interesting from a completely different angle...... the hunt for t... 

So you noticed, eh? Yes, as I wrote - to find one is harder... And to find a good one is even harder! As for coming over, you know my door is always open for you, my friend. It would be my pleasure! :) Best Blomman

......1960s.......tick. .....white metal.......tick. ....chronometer.......tick. .....35-40mm........uhm...34mm....uhm ....complications........date......ok....tick. .....condition........mint....tick The hunt progresses.

per quanto ne so' è molto probabile che la tua ricerca debba orientarsi probabilmente solo su questo orologio L'immagine è presa dal web. Si tratta della vesione in acciaio del'orologio in oro che è gia' stato segnalato. Il calibro è il 30, probabilmente ...  

Ciao Giuseppe, Thank you for your input. I will ask the Manufacture about the watch from Peter CDE. Best Blomman

PLEASE : CHIEDI ANCHE INFORMAZIONI SU GP MODEL 1950 " chronometer" con calibro GP 03. Possiedo questo orologio, secondo me è originale ma non ho nessun riscontro. Le uniche differenze con un normale GP 03 che sono in grado di rilevare sono le scritte e i ...
