Independent Conundrum

Hope everyone here is having a spectacular week and so are his/ her watches. Considering buying my first independent after owning a few Patek and Rolex, but I am in a fix and was hoping someone would point me in the right direction though I have tried loo...

Thank you for your post and I know of only one independent who I would thoroughly recommend based on your budget and your 36mm or below size requirement. I have a small wrist too so I can understand the size requirement. Although the Gronefeld Remontoire ...
I have come across them

Love the concept but find the movement finishing to be a little bland. I think I need to try the Gronefeld on the wrist before I count it out completely.
I personally hope to add

Just noticed that you had already mentioned Adc! I missed that. Not many independents would offer watches below 36mm. Try Kikuchi Nakagawa at 36.8mm and which costs about USD20k. Great finishing and he uses a vaucher movement. Extremely limited production...

Do you happen to have an idea what a bespoke order like this would cost? I understand that question is illogical considering the wide range of components that can be customized, but what do these start at?
72000 CHF

This is the starting price for his range and Kari never changes his prices irrespective of supply and demand.
aah true
