Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon Technique Black
If there is anything that this industry has done to me, it is to give me an incredibly skewed perception of wealth. I've lately realized that I have a very poor notion of "affordable" and "normal." When you notice that an entry level mechanical timepiece that you'd hesitantly give to your father hoping he wouldn't think it is too simple can cost $2,000, you probably know what I am talking about. In the scheme of buying products, $2,000 is expensive, and this version of the Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon is so many more times that in price.Greubel Forsey produces many watches that are a close neighbor to $1 million, proving themselves to be harsh mistresses. As unattainable as she is in this shiny black dress, this black titanium piece of horologia did steal my heart when spending just a few romantic moments together at SIHH 2013. Is it but a mere horological flirt? Perhaps my tastebuds should have never been exposed to this type of rich flavor? Am I doomed forever to see anything but

Those withOUT enquiring minds, may SKIP this thread:
I really wonder how much 'one' can take in, but here in the beginners forum, I expect people to have enquiring minds and ask questions.BUT, I have some concern.For example in this thread:watchtalkforums.info/foru...orum/44071.htmmuch info was posted, and I posted (in my opinion) some very interesting Rolex Horolgy Information i.e.Quote"I am currently in discussion to buy a 'didactic bubbleback' (rolex)"Unquote"Didactic Bubbleback" really everyone knew, understood what this is/was?Not I, when it was offered to me, the FIRST thing I did was E mail back "What IS a 'Didactic Bubbleback'Of course now I know.Reading posts is easy, learning is much harder, if you know, fantastic, but if you do NOT - ask!This is a very strategic part of Rolex history, and ALL Rolex people should understand it.RegardsAdam
