I'm not an expert, just a guy who loves watches but couldn't dream of spending money in that range on a watch
Personally, the sapphire is worth it. It's a rare enough material in terms of the number of watch makers willing to work with it and this is a very limited edition. I wouldn't dream of comparing it to titanium, even if a smaller case size is more in the realm of what most would consider wearable. Look at sapphire RMs, you wouldn't dream of comparing them to titanium models and that's probably the closest brand in terms of status, pricing, etc.
Best of luck with the decision, it's truly a gorgeous watch

Hello all! It has been some time since I had last posted, life gets in the way of our pleasures at times! I do hope all my friends here are doing well. I will be doing an update to the collection thread soon, picked up some interesting pieces since last y...
Buy the watch and don’t look back. You’ll love it. It’s a showstopper.
You’ll never tire of looking at it and be a member of a small group of only 11 who are lucky enough to wear this gem. Good luck! Enter text ...
Thank you for your reply
Is that your personal watch? Looks great on you, how big is your wrist?
It is my personal watch, yes. My wrist is
average size; not large and not skinny either. I don’t know the exact measurement. But the watch wears very well.
Thanks for your valuable input
Great to hear from one of the 11! I am getting closer to joining you as a member of the saphire GF club! Do you mind sharing what you paid for yours? Via PM if that is more comfortable for you
I am not comfortable disclosing what
I paid; sorry. It doesn’t matter anyway; you’ll need to determine if what you will pay is good value for you and makes sense to you.
I dont think anyone can answer those questions better than you
You know what you are talking about. Your concerns are valid. Its up to you. Could you get a better watch for that money? Perhaps. The sapphire case comes with a huge premium. Worth it? I dont know. Only you can tell. Other GF models? Also an option.

If you're asking whether the sapphire case is a gimmick...
Then I think you would be happier with a different GF. Go for what you like best about the brand.
Not too many data points...
With only 11 ever made, the secondary market price is going to be volatile, similar to anything that changes hands very infrequently. This exact watch may not come up for sale in the secondary market for many years or there may be a motivated seller alrea...
All questions only you can awnser I would say . A amazing and gorgeous masterpiece from a top brand .
Personally i like there older models a bit more then there new line and if i was in the position to buy one i would definitely get it 🙏🏻
I agree that the older GF models speak to me more as well
This sapphire watch though is truly a stunner
There is way more content here than the convexe double balance...
...all the bridges are more complex with a higher effort in finishing, plates have additional decoration on the sides, dial is polished instead of blasted, sapphire case more complex, etc etc The only advancement I see in the Convexe line is maybe additio...
