Greubel Forsey New Release: Design & Debate

Key Points from the Discussion

• The floating time-telling mechanism is highlighted as a very cool and innovative feature, suggesting potential for future complications.
• The original poster expresses a divided opinion, appreciating the watch's quality but feeling disappointed by its perceived resemblance to Richard Mille designs, particularly the barrel shape and strap.
• While acknowledging the amazing finishing, some contributors find Greubel Forsey watches, including this new piece, to be excessively large and thick, making them impractical for smaller wrists.
• A counter-argument suggests that while Richard Mille dominates the category, they weren't the first, and this Greubel Forsey watch looks distinctly like a new GF, not an RM copy.
• Some collectors were expecting a simpler sports watch on a bracelet from Greubel Forsey, expressing disappointment that this new release, despite rumors, doesn't fit that expectation.
• The discussion touches on the implications of Greubel Forsey creating a 'sports watch' at a high price point, particularly regarding water resistance and the consequences if it leaks.
