AHCI - I think it's great!

An unexpected and wonderful one watch routine

I haven't posted in a while because I've been boring. A few years ago in attempt to consolidate the collection I fell into this Greubel Forsey Signature 1. It didn't make sense to me at first - checked none of the boxes that I normally look for in a watch...

Independents

I think it's great!

An unexpected and wonderful one watch routine

An impressive and very special one, mon ami. Congrats!

Thank you! I must be getting old, I don't fall into pools, crash jet skis, or fall asleep on the beach anymore. Maybe I was overdue to reassess my real vs imagined daily routine and watch to match 🤣

ROFL! Good one, mon ami.

It actually doesn't surprise me.

Hah, it sounds obvious when you say it! I guess versatility hadn't been on my checklist but yes! I even landed back on a plain black strap, no crazy colors, versatility.

I think it's great!

Thanks! I'm hoping the photos will tempt a certain other WPS member into joining the cult 😜

It's not the lack of photos, my friend. It's the lack of funds ;-)

Damn good photos!

Good lord, that's the dream.

The first time I wore it outside I was ready to get robbed immediately. As it turns out, no one cares, truly anywhere.

A truly beautiful watch!

Thank you! It is getting a lot of miles and the steel bezel is taking a beating, more than I thought after a lot of time wearing titanium, but I like that it's not sitting in the box.

Marvelous!

Thanks! Excited to have a little more time this summer than last... hopefully....

One of the rare GF to my liking. Not bold, not shouting with

Thank you! I like the big boys with all the text and a secretly want one but on the wrist I feel like it asks for a different lifestyle than I actually exist in 🤣

Splendid watch

Thank you! I've been following your consolidation too, I'm liking these journeys

It was made to be used, not to be a safe queen! Use it - and enjoy!

Yes! I need to see if I can get a good shot of all the scratches and nicks in the bezel, they don't photo easily but in person it's definitely getting some... character...

Great stuff!

Elegant. Too small? Maybe my size :-)

LOL. I do need to lose a few pounds, hoping to diet and exercise my way down to it.

Was wondering where you’d gone.

Hahah, just life keeping me busy but decided to take some time off. Would be good to get the NYC crew together again!

Cute dog. That mix, he looks like a cousin of mine (Norfolks).

A amazing and beautiful GF 😘👌🏻

Thank you!

Ironically probably safer than Rolex but…..

Oof, yes! Wish the insurance company agreed with you, I feel like everything insurance related doubled in the last year! Please let your wife know my collection of seikos is simply over-insured.... in case she ever meets my wife😜

This is a marvelous beast!

Yes! Back to basics. I think of it like a michelin starred chef taking time away from the restaurant tasting menu to make the perfect cheese burger 🤣

PS Great to have you back on WPS!!

Such a beautiful watch.

JLC x 2. I'm sad these are gone, thought I had gathered the perfect duo but after JLC made it clear they didn't care about their watches or their enthusiasts, I had a hard time caring either.

How? What happened?

Service woes accompanied by an unapologetic boutique. 3 trips to service for the Duometre and 2 trips for the EL2 to get them right. It took away the fun of using the chronos since I lived in fear one press too many and they'd have to go back to service.

I’ve only had experience with servicing Patek and Rolex.

Totally unacceptable.

Two of their best... A pity, but I understand...

It was a learning experience. I would might choose differently today but it's been part of the journey and they were such great experiences to have along the way... when they were working right.

Absolutely, my friend. When Faith is broken...

One of my favorite watches

If you're in NYC in a few weeks there will be one on display for a coming auction 😉
