Thoughts on 6000G

Came across the 6000G recently and curious people who own it how do they like it. I know it’s not “traditional” PP but just seems like such an interesting watch.

There’s an interesting history with regards to that reference with respect to Ferrari. It’s said to be the reference that Ferrari wanted to use as their watch.

I think it is a fabulous piece, mine is the blue dial version which is a lovely contrast with the WG case

It has the 240-base movement. Stunning.

The case of 37mm with long lugs out to case. Makes it sporty and the dial configuration
gives it a very interesting look. And the 240 movement 1/4 rotor is use on 5712 also.
Great watch!!! And Values!

Thought about the 6000G quite hard some years ago. Great case and movement but could not get used to the dial. I liked the no date looks of the 5000G better but that one is borderline small for me with black dial making it look smaller still and I also try to stay clear of plated white gold.

Always liked the 6000, perfect compact/everyday size compared to 6006

Bumping this thread from a couple of years ago.
As I am contemplating purchasing one.

Never had one before, but have considered getting one on several occasions.
For example it has the magnificent 240 movement, which traditionally, imo were used for more higher complication pieces.
And for the date "Stick" marker.

Interested to hear from any current, previous or in fact anyone who has a view.
And please include any photos.
Thank you.
