Very soon ultra high-end watch maker Greubel Forsey will begin to fully release a new limited edition of watches made in participation with micro-sculptor artist Willard Wigan. The watches will be known as "Greubel Forsey Art Pieces," and seem to be numerically numbered.

Damsel in Distress

It was his dream watch and I want to replace it for his wedding gift. I've seen several go for around $1600 on ebay, but the only one I can find now is closer to $2500.

Sticking Date on my 5980 1R
Sad news here, my favorite PP is off for warranty service as when I was advancing the date wheel with the PP plunger, it stuck in-between numbers. Have any of you had this problem advancing the date by turning just the crown? Has a defective part been identified? This was being done at 8 am in the morning.
