Think it is a good brand but not very popular in this part of the globe. Am also looking at a vintage piece... should be incoming week after CNY.  :Cheers:

I have one and I like it.  Quality of GP watches is top notch. Finishing may not be on par with PP, AP or VC but is good.  GP is 1 of the top 10 brands but not that popular here. That's why it's  "value buy" here but you must like it before you part you money.   :Confused:

Someone told me you need to own a GP in order to appreciate GP.  I believe you will once you own one.

That should always be the case for every watch you buy.

The 60's & 70s watches sometimes looks much better than the current ones….
this is beautiful…the current designers could learn a thing or two...

Agreed. The main issue to me about vintage watches is that it can be a minefield and it usually is. More so when it comes to popular vintage watches and military linked and issued ones, what with fakes and frankenwatches.

Is it easy to make a replica vintage watch? Thot it would be tougher to create the vintage feel / look.

Not as difficult as you think, more so when it comes to popular vintage watches. Frankenwatches even easier.
