Pricings which for rare work are too often hidden from people
I can understand why, but I try to reveal what I uncover, especially since I wish to buy a few on the used market.
Truth...these 2 watches are so good, that they deliver beauty to lives in ways beyond just being watches....I would try to buy another 2 more.
Greubel Forsey Vision 30 Forever Watch 1
I I am head over heels about the Harry Winston's Tourbillon G number 2. I am also crazy about getting a Jacob & Co tourbillon from this year's Basel. Here is where I have to practice what I told forum fols back here and on 2 oher purist's forums..AHCI...
I love the color and the dynamics. Since I am not affected much by brands...
I wish I had more cash. I had no cash for this fella...but I will want to own it one day. ...
Thanks so much.
I am also apologizing if naming prices or money had spoiled anyone's day. I just wanted people to know that I do not have tons of cash, but I am as close to any guy on the streets of any city which is not at war. ...
Nice pictures Bernard...
but always referencing to money is tiresome and not required. If you are looking for everyone to tell you how well you have done and how much money you have made then its a shame you need to post this for your self promotion and to further boost your ego....
My bad. I apologise. The prices were always prime to me, because I was low on funds.
This is what I am wearing now, and will report on how it has been for 8 yrs. I wear this once a week. One of the favorite divers of mine, white...even before RM did his. Not costly. Most people feel it is too girly for me...but I like its Seikorai Submers...
I enjoy Bernard's candour.
Clearly anyone who posts personal watch collections worth in excess of $500K (or frankly any single piece worth over $50K) is way ahead of the curve so I really don't see the point in false modesty, particularly as his mentions of finance were, I believe,...
Thanks for this balance. I mean none of the money thing. Quite the opposite.
For all who have even met me, I doubt if more than 5 people would see me as insecure and even mildly boastful, or attention seeking. I must be coming across as a totally insecure, boastful, name dropping person with a dishonest passive aggressive approach...
Which is why...
...it is so good that today's Bernard has his own web blog, where those who do enjoy what you describe as a lack of false modesty can read it to their fill. Everyone's a winner if it stays there. We find ourselves (again) in a thread which demonstrates th...
All I can say is...
this is a bloody nice watch!!! Thanks for sharing it here. :) cheers fernando
With Dufour and more people looking at the already superb reliability of GF
More will come... ...
You might want to channelize your energy into speaking beyond money
Dear Bernard I appreciate that except for those that are "born into money"; every one that buys a watch beyond a nominal price point, has to save up; except that the effort, time and the quantum differs. Fundamentally I do not see anything wrong in speaki...
Good advice. I am honored, and I will share this picture
of the first time I saw what a Greubel Forsey was. It was 2006, and well...till today, it is the singular, most solid, as if carved out of one block, the Vision 30...which is 100x more incredible. Winding it, reveals the detail of tactile thought and plan...
normally valuation is not discussed here. perhaps it is a gray...
Area to speak about the difficulty in acquiring a watch?

Another nice write up and tips.
Got to say this another nice write up, watch photos sharing and watch collection tips. The net is gigantic and we can never get everyone to share the same view or let alone same belief. Important is to be yourself. Tks you sir and aways looking forward to...
The one unique piece of Greubel Forsey, cased in platinum. Stealth or whatever.
The Greubel Forsey 25 Incline which is out of production. This is the only one of its type in platinum, but with a wg look. It has the rounded tourb bridges. ...
TV show.
Just saw on CNA that they will be featuring an interview with you about watch investment tonite at 10.30pm , under "money mind" TV program. Looking forward to it and hopefully can catch the sighting of this GF monster.
They were kind to me
I came across as mildly eccentric. I was happy that the 3 hours of footage was edited well... so maybe more will appear. Shot on location at my home. This watch, the IP1 was seen most. More than any. ...
LOL
"I just wanted people to know that I do not have tons of cash, but I am as close to any guy on the streets of any city which is not at war". Are you for real?
hahahaha
but seriously: this guy keeps amazing me every time I read something he wrote but this time I was truly perplexed. One word comes to mind: disconnected.
It all depend...
Disconnected or not is dependent on the environment. In a forum such as this where tons of ppl share their amazing luxurious watches or even exotic super cars what is disconnected? You can alway choose not to read ppl post if you find them disconnected, h...
