Mark1958a's acquisition of the Greubel Forsey Balancier S offers a rare glimpse into the ownership experience of a truly haute horlogerie independent timepiece. His initial impressions, focusing on wearability and unique design elements like the 30-degree inclined balance wheel, provide valuable insights for collectors considering such an exclusive reference. This article synthesizes community reactions and mark1958a's own follow-up observations, highlighting what makes this watch a significant piece in contemporary watchmaking.

I pulled the plug on this one.. It fits really nicely and very comfortable and light on my 6.4 in wrist. 
I love the 30 degree balance wheel
My only gripe would be the seconds hand should be a bit bigger.. 
Very nice packaging in the box too.

I’ve not seen this one in person, like many of us I guess, but from all the photos I’ve seen I really like the case and overall look. Having held several GF in my hands previously I’m sure the quality of finish and the visual that brings is top notch. Please share more photos and thoughts are you live with this one.
