gorgeous watch 👏super special in tantalum !! Now about the gossip, my analysis
I am not sure if Grönefeld would have re-bought it (after it was worn, even just for a few days) for the full retail price ...and even if Imagine you are the buyer and you don't want it anymore: would you go through the hassle to ship it back, insurance, etc. and wait for the money back (assuming they will want to take it back at MSRP, I doubt) OR walk into watchbox, get your full price / swap it with something you like more ?
So to me it makes sense. It happend to me to buy a watch and not like it after just a few days. Selling it locally to Watchbox/Bucherer etc. might not give the best price but is hassle free and you can walk out with another watch you love more 
TGIF!! What are you wearing this fabulous Friday ?
First off, I would like to say it was a little sad to see 1 of the first Grönefeld Grönograaf pieces being SOLD so soon after someone received it. It was brought to my attention that #13 was recently sold and then RESOLD by Watchbox at a substantial premi...
A wonderful timepiece, Justin!
Is the strap made of snake skin? I am still wearing this panda on this Friday Cheers, Henry ...
Looks awesome, Justin. Wear it in good health.
How did you come to find out that it was #13? Did WB reveal that to prospective buyers? That’s a rookie mistake on their part That being said, we never know the reasoning behind someone selling a coveted watch; I t’s not always for flipping purposes, so b...
Very disappointing indeed!
I wonder if Tim and Bart will avoid selling to this individual in the future?
I would encourage collectors to sell and trade with other collectors
There is absolutely no reason to have a big middleman like WatchBox standing in the way and profiting from these types of exchanges. Smaller dealers that you have personal relationships with still offer value in my opinion, but many (most) times dealing d...
What a beauty Justin. The 622 today but …
Maybe something salmon sometime next week! 😎😎😎 ...
Sad day.
But not for me, while Friday brings me always so much joy. While it is Saturday now, i mis Friday. Next week it will be Friday again, and maybe Watchbox heard your message. Honestly, i have not a good feeling about them, but i am not a typical customer th...
I fully agree with you about that my friend.
I also don’t understand why someone would flip it so fast but I guess he will have his reasons 🤷🏻♂️. I also would give it back to the brand and they will for sure have a long list of collectors who would love to purchase it .

I see what you are trying to say Christian but with a piece as LIMITED to this one (ONLY 25), I just feel there was a better way to let another collector have it. WHY should Watchbox profit from the sale of this piece if they had nothing to do with it...
and why would a passionate collector have to pay MORE, who originally wanted this piece who could not receive an allocation ? As explained, all of the original 25 still have NOT been delivered 🙈🙊
What is not to get?
Since the watch resold at a substantial premium, the person selling the watch made a profit. Many folks may see this as regrettable. It is to some extent. But it also makes hard to get watches unobtainable by most, available to everyone at the current mar...
