It was SURPRISING how similar the two watches felt on the wrist.

GP Laureato vs. IWC Ingenieur
By: Aquaracer1 : May 14th, 2024-18:02
Seeing some beautiful pics of the new Ingenieur has piqued my interest about how it compares to the Laureato. 42 mm versus 40 mm. Now when I first discovered the GP, I bought the 38 mm, which actually wore more like a 36, a bit too small for my liking. I ...
Thank you!

Good call. If Iβve learned anything in this hobby of 15 years, itβs no conclusions can be drawn until you try it on π May I ask what you liked most about the Ingy? Looks great on your wrist! Depending on the source of lighting , Iβve seen that version loo...

But the bracelet was a major part of it. The dial was a bit questionable due to the busy print. Maybe that's why my preference went for the white dial... ...

Nice! I can see why the overall watch, and especially size at 40 mm is attractive . The Laureato and Ingy are very close when it comes to case thickness . Actually, I think their sleekness measures exactly the same! What size is your wrist?

42 mm isnβt typically vintage proportions, lol. But 40 mm may just be my sweet spot for this style π

I owned the 38 mm white dial for a period of time. Beauty. But it wore a bit too small (more like a 36 mm). So here we are with the 42 mm π

Looks fine on your wrist. Iβm interested in this watch and tried on the black and green variants last week as well as the IWC, I preferred the GP by some way and wore well on my 18cm wrist.
Cool comparison

Why did you prefer the GP?
By: Whitehart : May 14th, 2024-21:57
I thought the GP had a bit more about it and more of a premium feel. I liked the dial patten and date window better than the IWC. I did t like the IWC as much as Iβd anticipated although very nice not in the same league as the GP but obviously only my hum...
Cool photos

Lately Iβm a big fan of textured dials. Thanks for sharing!
Thatβs good to know

Because I find the GP bracelet incredibly comfortable
Comfort and fit always come first unless ...

you are the lucky ones who have the luxury ( wrist size ) to enjoy a watch with its Goldilocks size and proportions. In the case of GP Laureato, .Imo the ideal case size seems to gravitate towards smaller measurement such as 38mm. For my >20mm wrist I cou...
Your comments are most appreciated !

Once I finally got a chance to try on the 42 mm, and let it sink in for a bit, I could pull it off! Personally, my 7 inch wrist is at the very limit for 42 Laureato . Just my humble opinion. The rest, is history!
Beauty!

Loving that shade of green!
