Getting Tired of Watch Shopping...

 

...you all know the drill. Went into a well-known seller of independents today. As usual the sales woman was pretty but also pretty clueless. Some observations; Greubel Forsey are stunning but HUGE. I have a 7.25" wrist and wear a Submariner as a daily, but would look silly wearing one of these. And it is very thick. Please, somebody...my kingdom for a thin watch. This is in the RD forum because they had a pre-owned perpetual that was flat-out gorgeous and priced fine, but too small at 37mm. I remarked to the saleswoman how beautiful the old-school RDs are. She proceeded to tell me that the new ones were even better, and held their value even more. Maybe she's right (I doubt it), but the new designs don't hold a candle to RD's original creations. Now get off my lawn!
