Thoughts on new Greubel GMT Balancier Convexe, and GF as a brand overall
Apr 20, 2024,17:29 PM
Hi all - recently paid a visit to Greubel Forsey's first ever boutique that just opened in Tokyo. I have always been interested in their GMT line, so they offered me the next one to come in for their new GMT model releasing this year - pic attached below.
My current collection consists of mostly Patek, a mix of Nautliuses, Aquanauts & Annual/Perpetual calendars (with a couple of Rolexes and APs)
With that in mind, wondering if someone has been through a similar journey as me and progressed eventually to independent brands such as Greubel or others can share with me some insights -
1. the buying experience - did you buy directly/secondary? if directly are discounts commonplace
2. value retention - i find that I cannot find comps of recent sales on the recent GMT models (none are on sale on chrono24 and none have really been on sale on auction houses) - the older ones I know seem to lose quite a bit of value, are the more recent ones still losing value?

...but even with my larger-than-average wrist size, they are too big for my liking...
Pre owned ones?

The brand was one of my favorites a few years ago

There watches were top notch and had a great times while meeting with there creators multiple times. After the new Ceo it went to a more sporty (RM ish ) direction. Still great watches but prefer there older models tbh
