For 30 years now I can’t hardly get enough of GP and Blancpain! I’ve always thought the 1945 was the perfect alternative to the Reverso although GP really seems to be minimizing the 1945 these days. Only 20 years ago you could pick up a new 1945 in white gold, copper guilloché dial, with blued dial hardware for just a few thousand. That Fleur de Lys tourbillón that’s turned into a Blancpain mainstay - that’s the best looking tourbillón cage anywhere! I remember when 18K, hobnailed Calatravas went for $7K new! PP has come an incredibly long ways since then! And that Officer’s watch case - I have always loved it. Make mine in steel, salmon or pale blue parchment dial, three hands only, and with blued steel dial hardware. Of course, that yellow gold is compelling too! Great show today!
How is the Pelagos 39 listed at $4950 which is over list? My AD had it for sale just last week. I went with the Black Bay Ceramic at the end. The Pelagos felt a bit like a toy watch to me, not really sure why. Maybe the combination of the Titanium weight plus the square hour markers. There was something about the Black Bay Ceramic. It was love at first sight that when I looked at it, I felt like it had to be mine.
Time stamps and great horology. Thanks. I own a Blancpain leman 2100 in yellow gold with matching bracelet. Not as cool as your Tourbillon but Every time I look at it, I’m amazed at what I see.
I don’t think the 11.59 range will ever completely shake off the stigma of the disastrously pretentious PR/launch and cheap looking early models. Pity really, because they were never as bad as they were painted.
you are "the" gold standard for knowledge and watch review
LOVE Tmosso first thing Saturday morning 🎉

That Blancpain is absolutely gorgeous!

Stan, make love to your mother.
That Patek pilot watch is pure perfection.
The ALS Striking Time’s movement is mesmerizing.
I wish Blancpain would bring back the Leman. Such a good watch, especially like the Aqualung big date.
Brilliant episode. 😊
Love the GP & BP!
God Bless T Mosso
GP epic on the wrist.
Am I right in saying the last model shown of the Patek Cal had a white date disk? This one was black 👍🏻
The hobnail is nice, but the lug gap on that 5226G makes me sick. Just nasty.
Damn im in love with all these watches
That paper thing at the beginning reminds me of the WatchUWant years!!!!

Zeitwerk is my grail watch
a wildly great video.
Thanks Tim
GP 👌
2:15. There it is! The “Pancake XL”
No thanks I’ll pass on any Rolex with the doomed 32xx movement. I prefer consistent amplitude on my timepieces.
The 3230 in my sub has been by far the most consistent and accurate of my Rolex movements over the last 2.5 years. Don't believe everything you read.
The Rolex Submariner is the best watch in the world.
Is your name Joe Smith? I always picture the guys that think the boring Sub is the best also have a name that matches their taste
@@Doggo-frencton Is your name Dick Head? I always picture guys that think their taste is the best also have a name that matches their assholery.
@@Doggo-frencton It's the most copied watch in the world for a reason. It's perfect in every way.
Another Rolex bore that knows little about watches.
Bruh why you say pelagos funny?
Only a cunt uses words like Bruh.
You probably think Pele is pronounced Peel.
Good too see it's only cheap watches your talking about. 😂
