Double incoming... so surprised

After waiting for 2 years for one and 2 months (plus the trade for my 5146g or else it would have been 2 years wait minimum) for the other; I received both today! My Grönefeld Principia and the Patek 5226g.
First impressions are fantastic for both, the workmanship, the dials, the attention to detail, the straps, and the overall unique references... wow, I cannot be happier. It was tough waiting for the 2 years but so worth it.
I hope Grönefeld soon opens up the orders once again so more folks could enjoy them.

Absolutely amazing! I am on the list for that Gronefeld, but was late to the party - so fear I have at least another 2 or 3 years to wait.

Stunning pair. The high finish and uniqueness in these high-end indies is really something fantastic.

Congrats and enjoy them well.
