Day 8 with this one that wears surprisingly well...

Apr 25, 2024,16:16 PM
 



...and still trying to compile my thoughts on it. 

Smallest watch they have made at just 39.6mm which means it slips under a cuff fairly easily. Doesn't get much attention from anyone, but it takes time to digest the layers of detail. Incredibly difficult to take pics of; would need lighting, set-up and image stacking. I tried my best with what little natural light I had. 

To be clear, not mine; simply have it for a week on the wrist.

Looks slightly better after some crop! But really; that pot helped to angle the watch enough so that light hit the black polished plate for some flecto. ...  

Enjoy that! It's a lovely Greubel.

I really like their watches and can stare at the finishing for a long time.

Impressive!

That must be a very pleasant week with this one on the wrist 😉👌👌

I love dials with depth

Love that GF…but I guess would have to settle for this now… Best Gatsby ...  

Hmm, yours????

Yes mon ami :-)

Excellent!

A very special one. Congrats.

Stunning!

A friend just picked his up as well, along with a few others. Enjoy in the best of health!

Exquisite…

I like the back as much as the front and the strap is awesome!

Strap is a custom crafted by a friend

Galaxy Magic -- pairs perfectly with the watch

This watch is completely insane. I have never seen it before.

And now I can’t stop looking at these photos. The dial design is super interesting and layered. The movement is bonkers. And it’s 39.5mm?!? I always thought GF as oversized. But this one looks comfy… Thank you for sharing.

Smallest GF they have ever produced

Wears like a modern sports watch. And a sight for sore eyes. A few more pics for you... ...  

Truly incredible.

Could you post the reference? I want to look for it.

Maybe one of my favorite from GF .

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : April 26th, 2024-06:31
Such a beautiful and well balanced watch . Also not mine but belongs to a friend ...  

Makes me think of GF Signature 1...

 
 By: n0wjsti : April 26th, 2024-06:39
But wow, I have never seen one with a solid dial and without diamond bezel!

Wow that’s a beauty

 
 By: gary_g : April 26th, 2024-19:27

Intriguing strap choice!

 
 By: chk : April 26th, 2024-08:38
Looks good. Chk

What a loaner! I think the small (normal?) sized GF watches are under appreciated

 
 By: Fastwong : April 27th, 2024-06:34
Few watches have so much depth and level of quality / effort in so few cubic centimeters. One of the things I like about this over the S1 is the boxed sapphire which I think helps save the bezel and adds that little bit extra depth. The small GF's fly und... 

The S1 is an intriguing watch. May I ask which version you went for?

 
 By: mrds : April 27th, 2024-20:41
I have recently been looking into the steel version. This could be my first GF.

Yes, one of the steel watches!

 
 By: Fastwong : April 27th, 2024-23:30
Also my first GF. I have worn it daily for over 2 years now, traveling, going to events, everywhere. Winding the S1 has become part of my daily coffee ritual at home, at the office, on vacation or working in another country, wherever. ...  

Thank you so much!

 
 By: mrds : April 28th, 2024-05:55
From your comments I gather you are happy with your decision. Wearing it daily is a strong statement, especially knowing some of your other watches. Wow. I am considering the exact same version, steel with black dial. Would probably take this as an opport... 

Do it do it do it 😂

 
 By: Fastwong : April 28th, 2024-07:30
I had to sell a couple watches to make the S1 happen and I miss them at times but no regrets. Generally I like larger watches, I hate time on a subdial, at least want a stop seconds complication and like some lume so this checked none of my boxes but here... 

What a marvelous timepiece

Thank you for posting !

Niiiiice!!

 
 By: mrds : April 27th, 2024-20:44
Very much my kind of GF. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful!

 
 By: MTR : April 28th, 2024-10:39
And obviously really wearable, which may not be the case for every G&F. The watch is really great. It's a shame it's not yours. But maybe it will be one day. 😉
