Girard Perregaux 9086 Blue Chronometer HF: I've got Blommanized.
Blomman wrote it, it is not a version you will see everyday... I am looking at the vintage GP market for some years, now, and I never saw one. I didn't even know the Blue dialed version existed!
To tell the truth, a silver dial in very nice condition would make my day, but the blue would be a delicious cherry.
The case is typical from the 70ies, somewhere between the square and the round, the dial is sober, but with some presence, and even the date doesn't bother that much on that one.
As for the movement, well, it is a Chronometer!
Here are the two pictures I took from Blomman's one.
Yes, I've got Blommanized. 
Best,
Nicolas

It wouldn't help you....
Once you have been Blommanized, there is no turning back! ;) Best Blomman
I must say that you impressed me a lot...
You built such a nice collection in a flash! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Thank you! That means a lot coming from you, my friend! :)
A couple of things that helped me a lot - A) I have been "scouting" the brand for a long time before I started to actually build my collection. B) Information from the Manufacture. It would have taken me forever to get where I am now (still a long way to ...
There are a lot of brands I haven't gone into yet....
Like BP, Rolex, VC, UN, Zenith, Longines, Omega, Lemania, Vulcain, Eterna, Eberhard...... Just to mention a few... Best Blomman
Lemania? With how many TG 195 and the Big Swedish Chrono 2 counters?
Zenith with a very nice S 58? Omega with some excellent CK 2913 / 2914? Eterna and the Kontiki? Well, yes, you still have to explore Blancpain, VC, Longines, and a few others, but you go fast, Coyotee! Best, Bip Bip...
One or two pieces from a brand doesn't ....
Make a collection..... ;) Best, my dear friend Blomman
You may fight it... But sooner or later you all will be....
Blommanized! ;) Lovely shots of the Blue Chronometer HF, my friend! The blue dial is amazing, the color shifts and changes in infinity. Best Blomman
These Gyromatic are simply very very charming
And when you are lucky enough to see one with this attractive blue dial, but also in this top condition, there is no way out: the vintage GP virus starts to grow in you. Thank you to both of you Nico and blomman for giving us this opportunity here to disc...
The blue charm.... :)
Mike, be aware, once you are under GP's "blue charm" there is no turning back.... ;) Best Blomman
Not easy?
I have to respectfully disagree. I've owned or had in my hands a dozen Gyromatic Chronometer HFs. The only ones considered rare are first generation ones still with box and papers with or without date and in general Gyromatic HFs without date. Post 1968 a...
Really like that blue Chronometer !.. Ticks many boxes with me!.. But in our country..
..GPs are rare birds, generally ! While I've got the impression, there are so many variants & species shown by you. Especially nothing on the Vintage Terrotory, but also new ones are quite seldomly seen with AD's So there is a discrepancy between the know...
And I thought Sweden was behind when it comes to watches.....
Hope you will get to see some in real soon, my friend! :) Best Blomman
Well, thx to a good friend.. Showing me The blue Chronometre Blue, I was lucky .. :))
.. as for others, it may take me a while, before I see them .. Luckily my friend from up North has got several in his collection - so I learn everytime, I meet him ! Best my friend, to a next one ! hs :)
Each time we meet, we all learn...
Something new! :) Exchange experiances about our beloved watches both here and in real is the best way to learn! Best Blomman
