Based on movement complication and architecture alone the DB is the winner for me. I think the DB makes sense as a sports watch movement for GF, it's a more durable option than the inclined / double tourbillons and the design of the constant force remonto
I first wanted a DB28 around 2019. At the time I was torn between it, an FPJ Resonance, and a Zeitwerk. Ended up hesitant to go independent and chose the Lange (mistake!). When funds allowed, I looked at the DB28 again, but prices were insane and the bran
Met up with FastWong on here and hit a few stores. Got to try a few independents out! Was hoping to finalize on a major watch purchase but now I’m less sure than ever 😂 The DB really threw me off. Didn’t expect to like it that much. Have tried a ton of th

While I'm less of a fan of the current sporty watches, the GMT I think has been one of the more successful implementations of the new convexe case. Unlike the S2 and double balance which are existing movements, the GMT is a new movement that I think takes
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.
Limited run of like 7 or 11 I think. I think all the convexe watches are also carrying "1 of XX" numbers plates instead of individually numbered watches which seems shady since then they can pull a Ferrari and really produce whatever they feel like withou
