It may be before taxes and for the Steel version
To be confirmed.
If you allow me, I think that I quite disagree with you on your other remark.
GF continues to make very special tourbillon watches (like the Vision 24 seconds or the models already available in the collection) and they even improved the Double Balancier by adding a Differential (hence more expensive than previous model).
They are just widening their client base with the Signature 1 but with still the same very high finishing level (which is indeed impressive).
So I don't see this new Signature1 as the end of the brand making tourbillons the way they did.

Finishing for GF is indeed likely the best in the business, under the loupe it makes Patek seemed average, and RM a ripoff (RM has a lot of machine finishing). And no I wasn\'t saying it\'s the end of tourbillon for GF, just saying it is unfortunately for...
Ok, I see

indeed it would be nice they only make those 300K+ pieces but it seems that after the golden years of the last decade, it is not possible anymore. At least I'm glad they can keep on at quite a high "rate". Cheers, Mark
