Independents

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 next year I could get a Moritz Grossmann Benu watch.

I am thinking about 3 models so I look forward to your knowledge and valuable help in picking one for consideration  🧐

Here are some photos of the Benu Power reserve a tried back in 2015

More info and pricing (which seems to have skyrocketed since 2015) at https://boutique.grossmann-uhren.com/product/benu-power-reserve/?attribute_version=White+gold+Argenté&attribute_pa_strap-color=black&attribute_pa_closer=pin-buckle&attribute_strap-length=Normal

On a more budget side we have a new steel model with centre second

Last but not least  the vintage style of the same Benu Power reserve:

boutique.grossmann-uhren.com

pricing is the same as the first one.

I am torn as the gold models are more expensive than my Lange 1815 in Platinum !  There is also no AD in my country (actually, there is one but was pretty rude on the phone and prices are higher than in the online Boutique of the Manufacture in Germany). Having a good relationship with my AD for other brands I used to get at least some level of concessions. Travelling again to Dresden is out of question due to the pandemic but perhaps the AD where I saw the gold many years ago will be able to ship a rose gold one (vintage style dial).  Would you buy from the manufacture directly or try an AD willing to ship outside Germany ?

If the price is the same I think that buying from the manufacture directly could have some benefits (e.g. a totally new watch, not tried by many people 😁).

thanks in advance for your suggestions/help
