Movement questions?
Hi,
Any background to the movement?Is this a new movement? Why so small?
Based on the movement number--seems to be a modular chrono module on top of the base GP automatic movement.
If so,Is it sourced from D&D or GP inhouse chrono module ?
Thanks.

Sublime Chrono!
Will have to wait till the next SIHH, but I want to see this one in the flesh! The dial, the case, the hands are really splendid. Now, I want to see the case back, and how is the movement. I would have preferred a manual movement, but let's wait and see.....
I agree with you
This GP Chrono should be a hit amongst a lot of collectors, especially those who like the Patek 5070. The dial is classic and clean, and you have a slight touch of vintage feel too. Cheers, Anthony
indeed, that's my style :-)
Love it ! only one bad thing - and please delete this part if inappropriate ! I once had a GP ww.tc in white gold, including white gold bracelet. I think it was somewhere in 2005-2006. I liked the watch but almost every watch I sell after some time ( ther...
The same with a big majority of watches, Bruno
And if we had to choose our watches regarding their resale value, we'd buy nothing. Best, Nicolas
doesn't bother me for a 5K watch
paying 5 and getting 2 after a while is acceptable for me but if we're talking about 20/30/40 K .... My budget simply does not allow such losses
Really handsome dial, but
...too bad that it's an automatic. :-( This watch screams to be handwound. Best, Jed
100% correct
I guess I didn't see this in the first post should have been a manual wind (but it still looks great )
Hi Anthony, any chance of seeing the WG version and the back of
the case if possible. Many thanks, Tim
Here's a pic of the WG version as well as movement

Beautiful in RG, it is a killing piece in WG!
Wowow, Anthony! That is really an eye catcher. A sober marvel. Can't wait to see it in Geneva. Best, Nicolas
This classical beauty is even ...
better in WG. Is it only me - I think the hands are too long? Manual winding movement would be my first choice as well Looking forward to see it in Geneva. Oliver
I noticed no stiching on the strap.
You don't see to many watches without the stiching on the strap. I like that.
No stitching …
I agree, Kevin, and it creates quite a nice look, particularly on a slim dress watch. Here is an example I have with me on a 1960’s Omega and click on this link to a previous discussion on straps you might find interesting. Andrew...
I have the following comments
1. the case appears too big relative to thickness, a 37-38mm size may be better 2. the movement size 10.5 ligne works fine for a lady chrono but not chrono of this size, traditional ones have 13 ligne or about 30mm like the legendary 13ZN, vintage and lat...
Interesting point 2.
That's what I wanted to check... How the movement fits with the case back.... I guess we'll have to wait 2 more months before knowing it. Best, Nicolas
i like it too!
wow, GP's offering r much more exciting compare to other brands nowadays, classic revisit all the way with great result across the board! suddenly good value too considering all other brands have huge price adjustments in the past yrs & going forward ...

Hopefully we'll know more once it's SIHH time
Unfortunately, whatever is in the press release is all the info I have. - AT
A very beautiful watch
Hi, I'm happy to see another superb version of the 1966 series, and even more happy to see this chronograph calibre back! As this watch could become a target I reserve the right to say more when I'll have it on my wrist! Still I love two counter chronogra...
