GP laureato ref 8010

Nov 17, 2015,12:41 PM
 

Hello everyone, let me introduce my last acquisition, the 36 mm GP laureato ref 8010.


The watch is in great conditions, i bought it from a good friend of mine.

I need an additional link for the bracelet 'cause i use the wear on the right wrist.

I've called the Authorised after-sales service centers in Milan, sent them an email with a picture of my watch as requested: the ma'am at the phone told me that they had to check whehter they still get it and, in affirmative case, the total amount.

Sent email on friday noon, on tuesday still no answer; any suggestion?

Second issue: my former nickname is dsgalaxy1, updated my pc to win 10 but when i logged in, the site did not recognize the password, so sent an email to reset....and i had to create a new profile. WHY?

Anyway, the watch is superb, i've had many watches, thrown even more money, but i can state that this is a great watch, at  sales price!

A real bargain, in house movement GP 3300 (do you know which independent chose it?), great finishing; the bracelet is too nautilus look a like? 

It's even better smile

Lovely watch

I fondly remember a two-tone version of this Laureato that I once had. The only downfall for me was the very stiff bracelet. The GP extra-thin automatic movement was very popular with other brands, most notably Vacheron Constantin in their first generatio...  

Ref 8010 is a real GP classic

About the account....

I had similar issues logging in when the new website. I tried resetting passwords but the website never send any links. All I need to do is to go back to My Account, under Password, re-type the same password I used to have and then it recognizes me again.... 

Congratulation! The 8010 is a classic!

To find extra links may be hard. Have you contacted the Manufacture? Best Blomman

i tried with the authorized italian service.

If i won't get a reply soon i ask to the swiss manufacture

The watch has been discontinued for many years....

So it may take time to find... Keep us posted! Best Blomman

service assistance

I have the 39mm Laureato Olimpico, so I don't know if it is the same bracelet. I called the US service center (Tradema/Sowind) that is now located in Miami. They have no more bracelets in stock for my 80170 in the US or Switzerland. I did not ask if they ... 

Looking forward to see your Olimpico!

That one is on my hunt list. Best Blomman

Ah! The blue dial! :)

That is one of my favorite versions! Best Blomman

Thank you

But it's unbelievable and unacceptable that swiss manufacturers can't provide some parts, when requested. But what disappoints me most is the lack of a quick answer; almost a week has passed a no email from the Milan's assistance. I can check in real time... 

Well, I don't say it is good....

But, one week is not that long. Give it some time, I guess they are doing all they can to find what you are after. Best Blomman

Parts availability

 
 By: darius359 : November 23rd, 2015-14:13
Why is it unbelievable that parts might not be available? How many extra parts should be available, nearly twenty years after they made the watches? I needed a half-link back in 1999. They only made them in one and a half link sizes. I waited a couple of ... 

Aren't all that old, ancient, famous (etc etc) maisons the watch heritage holders?

From the official website: There are few names within the elite of Swiss "Haute Horlogerie" as rich in history and evocative as Girard-Perregaux. The activities of our Firm go as far back as 1791, giving us more than two centuries of heritage that forms t... 

Gp, sowind, kering....are them all so busy not to answer me?

This is my email, sent 10 days ago to swiss. ( 1 month ago to milan, authorised after-sales service) Good morning, recently i’ve bought a GP laureato ref 8010 from a good friend of mine, who is also a good aficionado like i assume to be. The watch is in g... 

Still no answer?

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 12th, 2015-12:32
I will try to contact them on Monday. Best Blomman

Thank you. [nt]

I received the link 4 FREE (!!!) from a friend (of a friend of mine)

 
 By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : December 14th, 2015-04:47
Accidentally, i was talking with a friend (of course watch collector) and he told me: i know a guy who could own an additional link for you . That's it, i received an envelope with the link plus screws! (for free) Hooray!!!! As i told to blomman, i think ... 

Great news!

Looking forward to see this one on your wrist! Best Blomman
