I saw the blue steel one recently and ... I don't think it is as impressive as your other two choices. Finishing of the movement is a bit less elaborate, the hands and dial a bit less refined, it is much lighter than the gold counterparts. None of those are deal breakers, still a beautiful watch, but when you add them up ...

Moritz Grossmann Advice Needed !

Hello everyone Almost 7 years ago I tried a Moritz Grossmann in Dresden and I was very impressed with the models and the movement is simply stunning. Since I have a bit of all in my collection (ALS, Patek, Rolex, Omega etc. etc.) I thought that may be nex...

that is indeed different and lower pricing is reflected in the movement finish too..

They seem to make gorgeous watches

And have been on my radar for a while. I could only get one with the vintage logo though. Their standard logo is noxious.

Of these three, the last one. To me what I see (dial, hands, case) is a beautiful package.

I will add the white gold version does not have the same effect on me. I think the rose gold case warms up that dial a lot more. The white metal seems to give you a much colder watch, less appealing.

thank you, indeed in rose gold it is very appealing

more than WG and Platinum that I saw in the metal. Steel is at a difference price point so I remain interested

I quite like the Atum in rose gold with its enamel dial, or, more affordable, in steel, with its blue dial.

41 mm big, 11, 3 mm high, and a great looking movement: Best, Nicolas ...  

thank you Nicolas ! I think the atum is no longer produced in steel

I think the line is now called index but no steel in sight boutique.grossmann-uhren.com #contemporary also the previous models that were very well priced as "atum pure" are not available at the manufacturer boutique. Did you try them on ?

Definitely! ;)

Great choice with an MG Benu!

No right answer here, it's just a matter of preference. Like you said, the vintage is very formal and classic, the center seconds is more moderm and casual, the original benu is somewhere in between.

thank you, indeed no right answers

price plays a role too

All great choices!

I have a custom centre seconds hopefully coming next week. I love the vintage look but wanted a more daily wearer for my first MG, and I love the clean look if the central seconds. If you are buying direct from them, maybe you can explore unique colors an... 

thank you :) ah! also centre second? Will it be steel ..? ah okay let's keep the suspence

To be honest I am leaning toward steel as I can't really justify the price point of the RG. (I have several RG, WG and Platinum already). Especially not having a friendly AD in my country (Switzerland) is a big issue as I can't negotiate anything. Even fo... 

It is steel!

Although I’ve already got my eye on the RG Tremblage as my next purchase…and I haven’t even received my first one yet and my pocket book could definitely use the break! 😄. Also kind of surprised you don’t have a nice AD in Switzerland of all places. Is th... 

I think you might be right about local manufacturing...

few years ago (2015 - 2016 circa) even Lange were difficult to move in Switzerland (good for me ). For Moritz Grossmann I think there were 3 AD in Switzerland back then. Now there is only one (not in the same city I live) and was pretty rude. When I asked... 

Go for the vintage model!
