Incoming Grönefeld Principia
Had liked this watch for many years and finally pulled the trigged some months ago. Received it today. Very happy with it: great size, lovely salmon dial, steel, beautiful movement. Only the crown sticks out a bit too much for my taste. Fairly expensive for a time only watch, but given the finishing and small production numbers, worth it imo.

How can you post a Gronefeld without a pic of the back!

Super nice watch. Congratulations. I do agree with you on the crown, but a minor point for sure.

Great watch. I agree with you about the crown but it's easily overlooked considering the rest of the watch, especially the movement. Congratulations!

Work of art and truly a unique piece. I love the lug design and the attention to detail on the hands/indices/case. I personally think they are tremendous value given the current market prices.
You likely won't run into anyone else with the same piece given that they maybe make 50-70 watches a year. Wear it in the best of health and happiness! Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk |

Lug design is indeed particularly nice. Value vs current market prices is very dependent on the comparison in my opinion. Yes vs 5711 or 15202. But 98% of watches trade below retail and some complicated watches are very cheap, also compared to Grönefeld. Lange double split, Breguet tourbillons… Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Tried to order a 1941 Remontoire over a year ago but missed out. Waiting for the new model to be released later this year
I have also considered the Principia but am indifferent to an automatic movement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hi Guys, I ve been thinking to place an order. In fact have been thinking for a while. I realised the lug to lug is 46.9mm. I m just afraid my 6.00 wrist is right on the edge. I don't like lugs hanging out from the wrist. Sadly it is hard where I am to locate one to try on. Any feedback/ view is highly appreciated.
