Not surprised that the secondary market on these is getting hot.

This is a watch that basically has everything going for it; GPHG recognition, unusual complication, unique finishing style, very limited production, kari dial, etc. Everyone seems to love the brand, and a number of people on WPS have a Gronefeld Remontoire. IMO, I don't think you'd be overpaying at all by getting one now and the chance of losing resale value is low. The Principia is a terrific watch as well and also great value, but I'd be in favor stepping up to the Remontoire if you're giving it consideration!

One of my fav new adds of 2020!

Perhaps my favorite new additions to my collection in 2020, and my favorite dial. Grönefeld 1941 Remontoire with a bespoke Kari Voutilainen dial. The strap is pretty cool too! ...
Good looking watch

Seems i missed out on this. Even my dealer advising me not to hunt now as prices inflated. May have to “settle” for a principia.

Your reply made me think

I have already come to terms with settling for a principia (since anyway, my zeitwerk has a remontoire). But your post made me go back to why i wanted the remontoire to begin with. It’s beautiful and it’s what the brothers are known for. So my compromise,...
I wouldn't call the Principia a compromise!

Same level of finishing, very nice gold rotor, some cool dial+strap choices, comes with a really beautiful winder as well. Can't go wrong with either!

Surprising that the wait is so long, they must be in high demand!

... the Remontoire with this blue Kari dial is probably my favorite iteration from all 👍
Everything fits here

The dial, the movement, the case, the maker...simply stunning. An excellent choice you have made - enjoy this piece.
