The mailman came with it and I can't remember being so exited for a package
It's everything I wanted... Superb finish, stellar lume ,very nice signed G.P crown with a perfect grip who's easy to screw in and feels comfortable on the wrist due to it's 4 o'clock's orientation.
I love everything about it and even some would critisize the deep date window, I would say that it makes it very discreet but still available and easy on the eyes: At list mine.
The double anti-reflect coated crystal raise slightly above the bezel with a light dome shape: I'll be careful with it as I personally want it to stay fresh without scratches or cracks on the sides.
I like the power reserve on the dial: Great info who's looking good there.
The hands are well elevated over the mat black dial and are giving a nice 3 dimentional effect under the close to invisible crystal.
The case is 45mm wide and 20mm thick but light to wear due to the titanium. Sitting perfectly on my wrist.
A blend of blasted/brushed and polished finishes on it shows attention to details.
The 120 clicks bezel is easy to manipulate and firm enough, falling right in place. I can't compliment this watch enough as it's the best diver I ever put hands on.
Well designed case, good for 3000 meters and ready for anything.
The 2 helium valves: One at 9 o'clock and the other at 2:30 guarantee a non popping dial even the watch would rise up from the dark deep like a raging sperm-whale.
It's impressive all the way around...
Girard-Perregaux is among the greatest houses around and I would say that in my opinion, this watch is like a P.P Nautilus crossed with a DSSD under a titanium full moon: Think what you want of it as I don't own any of those watches but that's the feeling I have.
Here's some shots: Light is poor and only there for a few hours in this season up here...
Sorry to leave you: Can't look at it and the screen at the same time
