Updated the gp is in
Hi all, as promised I am updating my thread from late last week. I just received my BNIB Laureato which I traded my DJ 41 126300 for. Special thanks to David SW for the seamless transaction!

I have had it for only half an hour. Initial impressions are very good. Finishing is amazing. The movement finishing is better than I expected. Anyhow I will wear it for a bit and get back with some more impressions and some half decent pictures. Some crappy I phone pics below. Thanks everyone for their input.

Nice. I don’t get why GP doesn’t get more love. A relative bargain

Just sized it up. Pictures don’t do this watch justice.

42mm on a 7.25 in wrist! It’s an amazing piece, the more I wear it I am amazed at the fine details.

It looks so good on your wrist. I afraid it might be too big for my 6.5" wrist.

How is the performance and the fit, asking because is on my radar I think is one of the best thin sport watches around 10k

HI performance has been great, wears like silk on the wrist, better than I could have imagined. The finishing is superb and the details come out as you wear the watch. Been averaging around plus 4 seconds per day. I wrote a more detailed review on the non Rolex watch review thread here. If you are thinking of if I say go for it. It has exceeded all my expectations. A recent shot.
