I just purchased this GP alarm watch circa 1960s. I'm waiting for a new brown crocodile strap for it. It appears to be in original condition with some age spotting on the dial, but I like the silver dial and classic looks of this vintage watch.

Here are a few pictures taken with my phone. I'm sorry for the poor quality.

 

Is this the one sold on ebay last week?

 

Probably. I bought it on eBay.

 

Cool watch, looks like a cherry

 

Thanks. It is keeping great time too.

 

This one is underrated. I love most vintage alarms, and excellent find, congrats and enjoy it

 

Thank you. I recently learned from GP that it was produced from 1968 to 1976 (900 units in steel).

 

Very cool, well that she makes it even better. Who knows how many of the 900 are left. I think they made it in gold filled too right? I think most would prefer the steel so like I said good catch.

 

Thanks again. GP said they made just 650 in gold-plated.

 

Big congrats!!! I used to have a couple of those, but flipped them during my early stage of vintage watch collecting.

 

Very nice and unusual piece with the lack of an alarm hand giving the dial a nice simplicity.

Maybe our resident vintage advert researcher @Vitezi can dig up some literature related to your watch.

 

Thank you. Any information on this GP alarm model 8999 would be appreciated.

 

Sister model 7742 appears in a GP catalog here:
