The enamel parts don't integrate that well, I think. And the hands feel a little lost. By the way, are the hands actually blue, as shown on the GF website? Of these three, the second is my favorite for the harmony of its technical and aesthetic qualities.

As for the Hand Made1, I remember seeing a YouTube documentary about the creation of this piece, and it clearly shows that the plates and gears are CNC cut then manually finished. So at this level and price I feel that the term “Hand Made”, is used a bit ...

...and the Balancier is 39.6mm x 12.21mm...better. I just wish they hadn't written a novel on the back of that one. I'm buying a watch, not a book : )
I asked what would happen if I chanted the mantra on the back.

In Tibetan Buddhism, there are usually signs associated with a given mantra, such as particular dreams and outer manifestations that show you're doing the practice correctly. I think the GF rep said, "Well, then you'll definitely get a Greubel Forsey!" Co...
