SIHH: Girard-Perregaux 1966 Full Calendar
The 1966 collection has quickly become one of Girard-Perregaux’s icons. The collection is named for the Neuchatel Observatory’s Centenary Prize, awarded to GP in 1966 for its achievements in the field of chronometry. The 1966 Full Calendar is available in red gold, and in a limited edition of 199 pieces in palladium. The displays include date, day of the week, month and moon phases. The 40mm case has a sapphire back revealing the GP033M0 mechanical self-winding movement designed by the Manufacture. Palladium is a very white metal that is part of the platinum family and twenty times less abundant than gold. It does not require any rhodium plating, and it does not tarnish. The Full Calendar is priced at $19,800 for either the palladium or red gold versions and deliveries to retailers should begin around June.Technical specificationsPalladium caseDiameter: 40 mmAntireflective sapphire crystalSapphire case-backWater resistance: 30 metersGirard-Perregaux movement GP033M0Mechanic

Friday night drama result- Speedmaster
Last Friday evening a fellow Rolex enthusiast was banned for doing something wrong. The experience left everyone feeling blue, so what did I do to feel better,.. Saturday I picked up this used Speedmaster 3510 (reduced) for a great price at my local use watch store. It's my weekend/short sleeve watch, it was a fraction of the 14060 I was considering, and it feels great on me...

Speedy Tuesday: Boom or Bust?
What are your thoughts on how this will do in the secondary market? Will it be a sought after limited edition similar to the snoopy or will it flop like various other limited editions have done? I confess that I very much like the look of this watch. But it seems expensive for what it is and the inscription on the caseback and association with social media is just cheesy. Thanks.
