Very IWC.

reverse of your skin/armhair tone and your tat colours.

Complimentary - quite cool.

Looks great Ed - Does the crown screw/push in further at all?

I reckon this looks pretty good

It look like it stick out but it doesn’t get in the way at all, it doesn’t screw in.

Yeah, it's appealing.

Not a fan of the mismatched yellows

GP alarm today.
Having not seen one for years, there are two on ***y now, both in rolled gold like this and stainless. Neither as nice as mine IMO, and prices aspirational? Or maybe appreciation for brand gone up in recent years.

Properly nice.. I have two watch (non) purchase regrets (both in pawnshop windows), A gold JLC similar period to your GP about ten years ago, and an Omega Montreal about twenty years ago. Both interesting like your GP.

Interested to hear @Regal views on the typeface(s) on the GP

Still on this

Love it.

No typefaces, all hand-lettered, all very nice.

Prefer it to the modern GP watches with their art nouveau-ish logotype, they feel a bit '70s to me. It's not Korinna or Benguiat (the Stranger Things font, used because it was the Stephen King book cover font for many years) but it's in that vein. It's actually quite nicely drawn when you see the full logotype, it's more the way the "GP" looks like it's trying to form a heart shape. Not my taste, is all.

Do you prefer the strap or the bracelet?

Thanks. It's a beautifully finished watch, without doubt my nicest.

I finally put a macro extension on my camera and tried a few shots this morning.

The dial has patina is covered in little speckles which I believe to be age and possibly degraded tritium lume. Won't forget the day I set off a radiation detection alarm at a highly sensitive national nuclear site when wearing it...
