Any GP Laureato owners out there?
Have really been digging the refreshed line, 3 hand and chrono models. Comparisons to other models aside I think they stand on their own merits design wise.
Would love to see some pics and hear some owner thoughts, thanks! |

GP is a Grand Maison IMO.

I own the limited edition version from 2016. I preferred this watch over the current model, and waited a few years so I could buy it at a reasonable price given GP depreciation is high (I own three BTW). I am very happy with the watch. |

I have one, I absolutely love it. GP is a full in-house manufacturer from the dial, movement down the the clasp. Very underrated brand and watch. I own a AP and have no issues with the similarity. Most of the other round watches are based on the Oyster shape anyways. So I have no issues when reputable manufactures dive into the Genta style. They have ran that line since the Genta era also.
My birthday is coming up, I am looking to buy a Evo in RG. We'll see!

Do the newer ones have exhibition backs? Could someone show his?

These have always caught my attention, can’t add substance to the thread but will definitely keep it going to hear other owners impressions

I tried the 38mm and 42mm. Now I want to try the ceramic to decide which I like best.

While I like the looks of the Nautilus better, the Laureato is every bit its equal when it comes to quality and when you figure street price into the equation, it's a no-brainer.

Merry Christmas guys!
Was at the AD yesterday and saw the Laureato Blue Dial 42mm in flesh. Thinking whole night of that watch. Unsure to get from resellers or worth to pick it up from AD at 20% off. Need some advice from the owners and/or former owners of the Laureato. TIA! |

Had these two for a while. Solid watches but very bad resale value if you decide to flip down the road.

I really like the ceramic.....the 38mm I've tried but the subdials are too small for me. They kind of throw it out of proportion.

I have tried one before. Looks nice and well build solid watch. But make sure if you want to buy it, its for keeps cause it would be hard to resale it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
