Greubel Forsey Balancier Contemporain: which one?
While this choice is wholly an aesthetic one, I’d appreciate hearing thoughts from the forum as to which version of the Balancier Contemporain people here prefer—the rose gold version with a silver dial, or the new (and last) version in steel with the blue dial. I am thinking of making a switch, but people here always have helpful observations! These are the two possibilities, so other versions (for example, in white gold) are not part of the mix. Many thanks in advance for any thoughts on this!
And please note that the photo of the steel version is from GF’s website.
Thanks,
Bob

I'm a precious metals guy, especially at that price point
But the blue stainless steel is also gorgeous. I think I'd go with gold, but it'd be a tough call I'm envious that you get to make this choice! GF may be my favorite brand I'll never be able to own
Thank you.
Appreciate your input very much, and I am lucky to be able to have this one. Fortunately, there is a huge array of great choices out there.
One other thought
What else is in your collection? If you already have a few watches in a similar style to one or the other of these, it could be good to add some variety. Either way there are no wrong answers here!
I like the rose gold much better,
but I have conservative tastes and I like rose gold. I'm also really tired of the blue trend (or even obsession). That said, my tastes set apart, I think the silver dial "objectively" (debatable, of course) works better with the gold barrel and wheels. I ...
They are both stunning Greubel Forsey Balancier Contemporain watches.
I know they are the same watch but the different colour combinations make them look so different, personally I think the steel and blue look best for my taste anyway I don't think there can be a wrong choice only what speaks to you the most would be the r...
Thanks.
Appreciate your thoughts. Both versions are nice, but I agree the blue is especially sharp.
If a watch evokes such a reaction . . .
Then it must be a winner. Thanks for sharing that emotion. It is a stunning watch.
I’d like to daily that watch and rose gold would limit
my options. It depends on how you dress but purely from an aesthetic standpoint I’d have more occasions to wear the steel one instead of the rose gold. I know there is a blue craze and don’t know how I will feel about blue watches in 10-15 years from now,...
Both gorgeous but most important thing is to try them yourself and see them on the wrist.
If you ask me while looking at the pictures i would opt for the rose gold BC . But seeing the Blue BC during GDWs it really impressed me a lot. That blue really pops 👌🏻😘 ...
Difficult choice
Handled both during Geneva watch days (even though not at the same time, so no side by side comparision). In my opinion, the blue one looks more modern and sporty. The mirror polish is more noticable and the blue pops a lot more (maybe even too much, depe...
Here to vote blue
There's something very cool about a high horology piece that veers into casual terrain with a colourful dial and a steel case. There's something really non-flex IYKYK sel-confident about it.
