Tudor66,

I was thinking Buzz Lightyear when it saw your LED. The GP. Girard Perregaux? The design sort of indicates it was someone's solution to the fact these watches could be hard to read in broad daylight.

Kind of like this one.... pics stolen from the web but a digital disk with prism/mirror I think designed so could be seen easily when driving
(happy to be corrected on that however📖)

Sporting my speedy with a new summer look. Funny how a simple swap of the strap can change the entire look of the watch.

Thanks!

A new Apollo-Soyuz 35th Anniversary edition (produced in 2010) -- the one with the meteorite dial. Kind of a long-ish story how it happened, you can read about it here:

Looking forwarding to seeing your new watch on Tuesday!

Yea I was reading that thread yesterday but I guess I didn't look to see who it was, And it is a good story. Definitely a unique Speedmaster, I really like them. And i cant wait to have mine, Your already ahead of me 😁

Tonight I'm wearing my favorite of my few Yellow Gold watches, the extremely rare Zenith El Primero ref. G3817?, how I call it.

This particular watch and its recent history were discussed here.

Have a nice Sunday evening,

Yes, GP Casquette is not a practical watch, though it's a fun toy...!
