I'm glad they did away with the writing all over the case, this looks much cleaner. I'd be curious how well it fits on the wrist.

Looks so cool on a bracelet imo

... I dislike the fact that the bracelet is sourced from Brogioli.

Brogioli make the best meaty bracelets in the industry and my favourite micro-adjust mechanism, which is the company’s signature. This Greubel Forsey bracelet is practically guaranteed to wear comfortably. Do they engage in questionable practices?

I'm assuming it's less a criticism against Brogioli, and more against GF for not making it themsleves in-house.

So much thought and engineering that is put into their watches and with a price tag of 500K I expect them to find ways to reinvent the wheel.

Greubel Forsey may have tried coming up with in-house solution, but the experience required to make a peerless bracelet is not the same as making a peerless movement. GF certainly ensured the finishing on the titanium was peerless, so there is some evolut... 

This is really stunning. I have the balancier Sport and love it. The bracelet looks great.
