I suspect the GP will look far better in person than in a Photoshopped image. As far as quality goes, GP is superb. Their cases fit so well to the curvature of the wrist. I happen to think the SS or WG ww.tc is absolutely stunning.

Apples and oranges, these two.

Didn't you have a GP similar to this one? As you state, it was not as "busy" on the wrist.

Well, the second one is kind of cool, but, I don't find it attractive at all compared to the RG Daytona.

frostie · 29 January 2009, 06:29 AM

RG daytona all the way

TempoKing · 29 January 2009, 06:35 AM

Hey COUSin
What are you trying to compare here..?
One watch has "presence" ...the size of 20 football fields
The other, in the USA not even it's own mother knows that it exists.
The quality is good but no way near Rolex quality.
The values...ah...the values..?
There you will suffer....the kiss of death
That's what some call the GP values.

cousie · 29 January 2009, 06:45 AM

Is it so bad to buy a Girard-Perregaux?
The price is almost the same, the gp 17.600 and the daytona 22.000 but can have one for 17500 euro

You can have one for 15500 euro...

Anyway, the GP if you want I can get you a deal from a friend that
is an AD in Greece.

I would go with the Everose Daytona.
The only reason being, is for me the dial on the GP is just to busy.
Learnmore, just seen your stunning photos of your Daytona.
Congratulations on the dial combination.
I also like the one that has the Arabic numerals on it.

cody p · 29 January 2009, 06:55 AM

i like gp, but not that one. i like rolex, but not that one. so neither.

greenfan · 29 January 2009, 07:17 AM

I think there is no comparison between the two! Daytona is much better all the way.
GP is so ugly....

cousie · 29 January 2009, 07:28 AM

yeah it's a bit more busy than the Daytona
But you have a flyback function on the GP, is this a pluspoint, because I've never seen a chronograph with a flyback thing...

landroverking · 29 January 2009, 08:01 AM

THE DAYTONA, I thind the Rose Gold Daytona is long overdue...and I want one.

bodybump · 29 January 2009, 08:03 AM

No brainer...Daytona ofcourse...in the long run..it has a heavier value than the GP...

SwissKen · 29 January 2009, 08:07 AM

Rolex Daytona all the way, what about the WG version?

cousie · 29 January 2009, 08:11 AM

some find the Everose somewhat feminine, that's why I left open a spot for a WG version instead of the RG...
But honestly I really like the RG one, it has a lot more style than the GP but less complications (date, gmt, am-pm, scratchproof case) and looks very sporty and young.

SLS · 29 January 2009, 08:40 AM

Good greif that GP has a busy dial....are there hands on that?

Nothing against GP, but that dial has too much going on for me...I feel the same way about many Breitlings too.
Between those two, the Daytona wins.

learnmore60 · 29 January 2009, 10:23 AM

I love mine and where it a lot, the everose colour is really special, nothing like it around!!

Singslinger · 29 January 2009, 04:03 PM

Assuming both are the same price, with the Daytona you get a full-gold watch versus what appears to be a PVD-coated S/S watch on a rubber strap. Of course the GP's movement offers more functions but a) would you use any of them and b) it's a lot more expensive to service. My conclusion is that there's really no question that the Daytona is the better choice.

cousie · 29 January 2009, 03:58 PM

That watch is really stunning with the black dial!!
the GP is expected due September 2009, it just came out in Geneve, so for that watch I have to be very patient (even to see it in person) while I can buy the Daytona today if I want to...

Oh wow so that makes it special. I know what will be relevant in 2-3yrs time.

Thank god the Daytona goes to those who appreciate a chrono with 72hr power reserve isn't that rare

cousie · 30 January 2009, 08:21 PM

I've tried on another ww.tc and honnestly this watch isn't as pretty as on pictures, so not going to buy a GP, but then again my AD showed me some pictures of the new JLC Navy Seal master compressors, and whoaw the Chronograph and Alarm are real beauties... and with a price of 10k not so expensive too....

learnmore60 · 29 January 2009, 10:26 PM

Well you even should be able to get 20% off your RG Daytona from some AD's.
