Hands-On: The Greubel Forsey Signature 1, A Top-Tier Time-Only (Live Photos, Thoughts, Availability & Pricing)
At SIHH 2015, Greubel Forsey shocked us all by making a thin(ner), small(er), less expensive tourbillon called the Tourbillon 24 Seconds Vision. Now when you're talking about Greubel – arguably within top three finest watchmakers in the world – and potentially top one watchmaker in the world for median price per watch – everything is relative.

Seeking technical knowledge
Wanted to see if there was some technical knowledge that I could pickup regarding my 5711 that is in for service.I sent it to Patek because it would no longer wind via the winding stem. The watch still ran and kept time when worn and wound by the rotor.The estimate came back and said that in addition to the service I also needed a reduction wheel and a balance bridge.A search does not reveal much.Does anyone know what these parts do and are there any images to show where they are in the movement?Thanks for any help.

Do you only buy/prefer the same Rolex model?
