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...  

It actually doesn't surprise me.

It's such a versatile watch, outside of lacking water resistance. Great pictures, cheers, Filip

I think it's great!

A top quality piece that fits your daily life. Perfect. Share more photos!

Damn good photos!

Good lord, that's the dream.

I think you've got a great piece, possibly one of the best out there. What's really cool is that you can wear it anywhere...

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

Not worried about getting robbed on the subway, odd looks from coworkers, blowing a tough negotiation with a street hawker in China, or even getting noticed at the average watch store. I have a Blancpain deployant on the watch and at one of the big auctio... 

A truly beautiful watch!

It deserves to be worn all the time! So great you are getting the most out of it. I hope the honeymoon period never ends.

Marvelous!

Splendid watch

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

And - by the way - the watch is exquisite.

Great stuff!

Big congrats, finding a watch that really connects.

Was wondering where you’d gone.

That’s most certainly one of the heavier hitting EDC there could be. Is that a Norfolk btw?

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

We should try to get something on the calendar for sure.

Thank you!

Ironically probably safer than Rolex but…..

Lots and lots of INSURANCE! I joked to my wife Fastwong is lucky I’m on his side🤣😂😆!!! I admire your Soif De Vivre😉

This is a marvelous beast!

Daring and unassuming at the same time. Simple yet exuberant. And the execution is to die for - both architecture and finishing are beyond reproach. I am very attracted to this simple steel three-hander

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 🤣

I've been enjoying less. No date or lume, no problem, cell phone to the rescue. No power reserve meter is fine, I wind it everyday and can feel through the crown and see from the balance amplitude if it is low. The crown action can feel a little sluggish ... 

Such a beautiful watch.

Amazing execution of high horology. And I love the rarity of this watch. It’s just perfect. Enjoy! Just a question if I may, what did you get rid of to consolidate?

How? What happened?

 
 By: gary_g : May 11th, 2024-11:56

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

 
 By: gary_g : May 12th, 2024-00:08
Both were excellent experiences. I’m sorry you had this experience. It takes the fun out of owning watches.

Totally unacceptable.
