Grönefeld Principia First Independent Watch

Key Points from the Discussion

• The author clarifies that his Grönefeld Principia features a regular cream lacquered dial, not enamel, and that customization options were not available at the time of his purchase but are now possible.
• A community member inquires about the dial type (enameled or lacquered) and any customizations or engravings, as well as tips for the ordering process with the Grönefeld brothers.
• One collector initially believes the watch has an enamel dial and congratulates the author, while another praises Grönefeld for having the best-finished original automatic movement with a classic rotor, contrasting it with Laurent Ferrier's micro-rotor movements.
• The author agrees with the sentiment that both Grönefeld and Laurent Ferrier are highly admirable independent watchmakers, appreciating their distinct strengths in movement design.
