You did well.

I would have done so, if I’m not so “hung up” over them. I kept my remontoire and DB25 WG in 40mm. The irony is that I rarely wear them. I live far more simply these days. I’m either at the office or in the gym.

Grönefeld new release
By: ArmisT : September 1st, 2022-13:19
I know you’ve all been curious about what they were cooking. The rubber inserts option is interesting. But I think a win overall…just that price, always that darn issue 🤣 ...
Very interesting indeed
By: enjoythemusic : September 1st, 2022-13:25
Will be interesting to see how this goes for them. A three-hander on a rubber strap for $50,000 with a stainless-steel case (yet no metal bracelet) might be pushing the envelope. i do like the orange version tho ...
Fully agreed.
By: Blourenco : September 1st, 2022-21:15
Sure, it will get sold out, but for that price there is a lot more to be had even if not so exclusive
Haha! ;)

Yes, wow!
By: ArmisT : September 1st, 2022-14:12
33,500 euro in steel ...

Bigger case, waterproof. Buckle is nice. An "upgrade" worth more than 15K? - I don't think so. It seems that pricing is mostly based on exclusivity, there is multi year wait for principia and they will make only 20 pices per year of the delta works.
This watch is a fail in my book
By: Cozmopak : September 1st, 2022-14:11
45mm. Only 100m water resistance. They skeletonized the Principia rotor and stuck the movement in a huge case. Movement looks like it’s swimming in the case. Maybe that’s the point as it is a divers watch? This and their chronograph (with its overwhelming...
In the numbers they’ll make, these will sell out in an instant.
By: quattro98 : September 1st, 2022-14:16
I think most purchases will be driven by the secondary market value of the Principia. As a watch, I have no interest. The diameter is excessive and the value isn’t there. I can’t believe they went with rubber case inserts. I wouldn’t buy the Omega Ti Plan...
🤣

Can you change the side case color inserts?
By: enjoythemusic : September 1st, 2022-15:06
i see options such as metal side insert and various colors of rubber. So my question is, and when ordering you can't change color, yet my question is are the side case rubber insert user-changeable like their matching rubber straps? i can't seem to find t...
Hopefully they make a 40mm version with user-replaceable side bits.
By: enjoythemusic : September 3rd, 2022-11:47
Offer four or more different colors of their rubber bits and include the metal blanks. This is what I love about great independents like Gronefeld, options like changeable side parts brings innovation and great features you don't see elsewhere. 👍
I don’t understand this watch
By: Mr.Gatsby : September 1st, 2022-16:36
Clearly independents are jumping on the bandwagon of luxury sports watches. But they are missing the point. Without giving it too much thought, firstly the design is nothing novel (the first was the remontoire). Secondly the price is unpalatable. If I tru...
Love both brands
By: Dchang81 : September 1st, 2022-18:57
I was very close to getting a titanhawk or db28, but was warned off considering how close they were to folding....does seem like eons ago
We definitely are on the same page
By: Mr.Gatsby : September 1st, 2022-19:23
Soon enough the market will (unfortunately and fortunately l) effectively distinguish the ones that will withstand the test of time, and those that won’t. As a collector of independents, I often wonder what will happen to these watches when the “stories” ...
I've owned both Gronefeld and DeBethune
By: Cozmopak : September 1st, 2022-19:36
Both brands have wonderful watches in their catalog that will probably be remembered as important pieces. But now it seems like they can do no wrong. Everything they do is unquestioningly wonderful. I sold my Gronefeld to make room for another larger piec...
You did well.

Thank you 😊

Stunning!

Are you Bart Gronefeld but using the pseudonym WOTW!?!? 🤣🤣🤣
By: Lankysudanese : September 3rd, 2022-16:18
Bc Bart wears that same combo. This size, he argued, actually works great for the generally-tall Dutch people. And I agree Looks great on you. I hope that you continue to wear it in good health Hussam
😆 LOL
By: Watchonthewrists : September 3rd, 2022-17:37
🙏🏻 thanks
Looks great on you, my friend!
By: BMR : September 6th, 2022-00:35
Huge congratulations! Wear it in the best of health and happiness! Fwiw, this two tone dial is the one that would be my pick, as well. I had a little fun playing on their online configurator earlier today
It is power type of beauty go for it if you like it.
By: Gelato Monster : September 3rd, 2022-08:49
Gronefeld movement display has been consistently amazing,however the overall design language of this deltaworks is not bad but too boldly and nothing extraordinary. The size, the rubber insert and/or lug, the netherland, the case are all overcompensating ...
They charge that price because they can 😁
By: Blue and White : September 3rd, 2022-10:32
It’s probably not worth the premium over the Principia but the long waiting lists for this cool company speak for themselves. This watch is interesting while the dial side is not overwhelming to me, at least on the photos. The movement is a piece of art t...
Not worth it!
By: GreatPilot@me.com : September 7th, 2022-21:12
Great looking watch but like so many others is over the moon high priced and trying to take advantage of a watch bubble. Go buy a Lange and Heyne stainless steel three hand watch for less than half the price of this Gronefeld with (probably) better qualit...
