Great advice and what I do

I just purchased a Romaine Gauthier which is in the same limited bracket as Grönefeld, It was about 1.5 years old so still had factory warranty left and in mint condition, I also know the provenance. I experienced the same hesitation as you but by looking for a used one from a very reputable dealer I paid much less than retail. I don’t know what the watch is really worth because there are only 4 others I could find but my price was in the same ballpark so I felt good about the process. I love the watch and am not worried about the market, with independents that are very limited you have no guarentees but as a rule of thumb can count on most of the models losing some value. When you buy a really good used one you take the hit of initial depreciation away and hedge your bet. Hope this helps...Jim

is in the back of many people’s minds but not a very fruitful topic here... thus we discourage direct money talk. My best advice if your tastes change is to buy a good used watch, don’t damage it while wearing it, and above all keep boxes, papers and all ...

Go for it if you like it. This is the most important criterion. And you have some very good reasons to go for it as it is a superb model.

Great watch, looks so good. I was able to try on the Salmon and the Light Blue recently. The Salmon has a small metalic flake in it that looks better in person, its up their with my favorite salmon dials. All watches lose value (except a lucky few models)...
