Hello everyone....

I have been looking for vintage HF watches for a while. I set my sights on manual wind examples for my collection. As I was searching the net I came across a GP ! To make a long story shorter I am waiting for the watch to arrive.

But i cant wait any longer to post about it on the forum. So let me take it from the top. The case , 34 mm steel screwback GP Swiss signed. The case looks to be in good condition, but I do see a dent by the 2 o;clock position. The dial is signed "Girard-Perregaux High Frequency Railtimer" . The dial condition is the not the best, looks like it is flaking / chipping around the edges. The movement is signed Girard-Perregaux caliber number is 307715, Chronometre Adjusted 5 positions. and the movement also has a unique serial number stamped on it ( required for chronometre testing). From what i can tell the movement looks to be in excellent shape. . I have seen over the years Railroad approved wristwatches from Longines, Universal Geneve and Omega. They were all Low Freq. They are in my collection as I have a thing for manual wind chronometres. But this GP I am really excited about since it covers a few areas I am interested in. High Freq, manual wind and its is a chronometre is the icing on the cake! Since i am still wating for the watch to arrive all i have right now are the sellers photos for your viewing pleasure !
