Very positive first feeling

Good dimension, with a 40 mm case, which has the good taste to be offered in white or colored gold.

The case looks very elegant, as every " 1966 '" member.

The only thing I have to see in the flesh is that the subdials look a bit too centered, to me.

To be see, in the flesh!

Best,

About the subdials, they are very close into the center, leaving a wide white track at the rim... I am hoping it looks better in person, since the last calendar in the 1966 line was so wonderful A...  

That's how I feel too

The movement in this new GP 1966 Perpetual Calendar is too small relative to the case since all the indicators are too squished into the center. It's just one of my pet peeves when I see brands doing this. Neverthless, the design is absolutely beautiful a...

I love the GP 1966 line, as you know. My one potential concern about this piece is that the calendar displays feel like they need a bit of breathing room. I think 40mm is a fine size for the watch, but I wonder if the moonphase could've been moved down to... 

Simple and clean piece.

Nicely done. Unfortunately, suffers a bit from the small movement syndrome...

I'm a little late

but sorry to say this is disappointing. GP could have used the annual calendar dial and made a very subtle addition such as a leap year dot or window. That would have made one killer perpetual IMHO. Perhaps GP was afraid that perpetual buyers would not wa...
