Both? 😂 GMT if you'll use the feature, DB otherwise?

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

DB28 Review!

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

NY Trip to Watchbox

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

Funny, I've been tempted by the C on a bracelet, I might have to find time to check one out. This isn't the first time I've been surprised by some crazy fits so I wonder if there's some kind of anti-fit that I'm missing.

44mm Royal Oak chrono tourbillon (not an offshore) - about the same flare but in bracelet form Some of the Breguet pilot despite being reasonable in diameter had some straps that went right up against the case and flared straight out. MB&F Evo and GF conv

What's the last watch release that got you excited?

For me, the new GMT form Greubel is absolutely incredible. Smaller size, classic Greubel GMT complication, outrageous finishing, SUPER comfy convexe case/shape... All I need now is the $500,000 lol

Dressy and Casual

This picture captures two pieces that I consider to be very special. One is the 39mm Balancier Contemporaine, perhaps the easiest Greubel Forsey to wear on a daily basis. The other is the 42.5mm Double Balancier Convexe, a much more casual watch given its

Argh, hate it when that happens! I prefer larger watches and have experienced the same when I was super excited to try a watch on only to realize that irl it looked tiny on my wrist.

Most disappointing for me was the Voutilainen Observatoir, so beautiful but when I finally got to hold one it was so tiny... and I know that's a traditional size so it's not the watch, it just made me feel like I needed to go on a diet! 😭 On the plus side

Different journey, not a PP owner, but ever since I received my GF I barely wear anything else.

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

Thoughts on new Greubel GMT Balancier Convexe, and GF as a brand overall

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.

Funny, I was just in the Dubai Mall and it is almost like claiming I saw bigfoot since I didn't take a picture but I could swear I saw a sapphire double balancier convexe at Seddiqi.

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
