I just bought a brand new full set GP Laureato 42mm Chrono Blue Dial for less money than a Rolex 36mm OP is going for on the grey market!! These watches far exceeded my expectations and they are just spectacular in every way!!
I have always loved the Laureato, and thought it a great buy if one is after a high end model with integrated bracelet. It's not as hyped as AP or PP, but offers a lot of value for what it is at this price point. My preference, though, is for the 38mm model, especially in its chronograph declination.
Bravo ☀️I am a collector and hobby dealer in Singapore and I specialize in only GP laureato. This video is simple and informative. The Laureato is iconic and blue, black, white dials are all special in their own ways. The Heritage (limited to 225 pieces) is a grail watch that will appreciate in value. If you want to know more and just exchange notes about the laureato, you can reply here and we will find a way to connect. Best wishes ☀️
No negative reply, just praising. It is a perfect watch. Even the size 42mm is spot on. Blue dial is awesome. I will set it on my wishlist, next to a Zenith Defy.
I love that dial pattern contrasting with the simplicity of the hands. Very small detail but I really like the font of the date-wheel too. He should be proud to wear it. Stunning.
I really like this and it’s been on my radar since this newest version was released. I may go with the 38mm if I do but my only concern is how it will look once it’s got scratched or worn in a bit. A full on sports watch will often look better the more beaten up it gets but I worry that my enjoyment of this watch would be hampered by my paranoia 😂 Ps I genuinely prefer this to the AP/PP similar styled offerings... but it would annoy me that nobody would believe me 😄
Gorgeous watch and congratulations to Simon 👏. How to sell a watch 6:35 Sir this has a ‘Clous de Paris’ dial, or as you English speakers say, it has a ‘Hobnail’ dial. I know which one would make me buy it 😂
I love it. I wish it would have a version with a gold bracelet and a blue dial, but the blue the color of the chronograph blue (which is darker than this). I will buy it in an instant
thank you for the video. Do my eyes play trick on me or the bezel looks like its been polished many times (i know its new)? is that the look or it just looks like that through the lens? (ive never seen them "in the flesh")?
Hi, when I first read your comment, I had a doubt on the symmetry and balance of the links after my 2nd readjust, I had to look again at both the video and the watch. I can actually balance it on one finger with 7 links hanging on each side with ~2mm difference on 1 of the link (half link @ 12). I wonder if I would swap them (1 half currently @ 12 against full link @ 6) if the overall balance on my wrist would be even better.
@@marktrett1652 Hi , I didn't changed anything for now but I may end up asking the AD to move that half link @ 12 to put it @ 6 and vice versa for 1 full link @ 6 to 12 as a quick experimental fit fine-tuning. I have also noticed that my actual wrist is bit asymmetrical (underlying bone), not sure if it's a side effect of breaking my elbow 15+ years ago on the slopes in Switzerland...
Depending on the humidity here in Hong Kong, slightly above 6.5 in and slightly below 7 in. This 42mm wears a bit "big", some people may think a 38mm would have fit a tiny bit better.
Hey there, would you mind sharing which store you bought this in HK? Looking to pick up a 38mm for myself! Lot of stores have the 42mm but that’s too big for my wrist. Thanks
@@UptickWatchReviews Thanks for the reply! I actually visited the store a few days ago but seems the 38mm has been discontinued and they are out of stock :( beautiful watch tho! This might end up being my first big watch purchase. Great video!
Great casual discussion around this oft-misunderstood watch. I think it's a very beautiful design that holds its own amongst the other '70s integrated classics. I prefer it to the Nautilus and it is a sportier, more versatile piece than the RO. I definitely prefer it to the Overseas. I'd prefer the 38 and I'm not wild on the 'GP' logo, but otherwise tres cool.
Not sure that would be clever to share the exact figure here. I still have the intention to buy few more there. Many factors involved, including spending history, VIP status (most HK ADs have tiering system), the brand you are purchasing, etc. In all case, ADs will always insist to keep this secret (even if most Hong Kong watch enthusiasts know). It can be "substantial"... I won't break the "omerta", someone else might ;-)
