For a while, Girard-Perregaux was all about "classic and timeless" - with good looking retro-inspired pieces and a relative negligence of their sport watch collections.

Finally decided to buy it - just picked up a new to me Speedy
I just got this from George, so I thought I would post the first pic; taking the dog for walk along Coyote Hills.

Can't decide...
I understand they're both very different watch but I only want to get one. I like both in their own special ways. Which one would you chose and why? Here are pictures of me trying on both out today. PP 5726AJLC Duometre
