My First Grail Watch: Tim Gr?nefeld
Welcome back to an original watches-dealer feature, "My First Grail Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. Today, we are speaking with Tim Gr?nefeld, the younger of the two brothers at the helm of their eponymous company, Gr?nefeld Watches. Read on to learn about the path his education took, as well as what watch he still hopes to pick up some day.watches-dealer (ABTW): Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?Tim Gr?nefeld: I am Tim Gr?nefeld, born in The Netherlands in 1972. At an early stage, I was already involved with watches. My grandfather started his watch Atelier in 1912, and later - in the sixties - my parents took over his Atelier and shop. At a very early age, I was playing in the workshop. I was always interested in all the tools, clocks, and watches.ABTW: Sounds like a perfect environment to start off in, given what you do today. When did things change from playing in

Which RO to get?
I'm thinking about getting a RO black dial, trading away my Cartier Roadster + cash, but can't figure out if I should look for a 39mm or the newer 41mm version. I have a 6 3/4 wrist so I think either will look fine on me, but for the AP enthusiasts on this forum do you think one will hold more value down the road?

Whops.... bought yet another!
So I had this little mishap today, suddenly I find myself without owning any Rolexes but suddenly three AP's. The latest addition today was this one:So now it's basically down to these:I haven't used my camera for what feels like an eternity, so the pictures didn't really work out all that well but you get the gist of it.Thanks for looking!

Bergeon 7825 on Speedy New Bracelet
Hi Guys, as you know the New Speedy Bigbox equipped with the new screw type bracelets and reading other online source that Omega tend to be using a bigger Spring Bar vs Rolex Spring Bar.And the Spring Bar tool which come with the Bigbox doesn't really good enough and I was wondering anyone here used a Bergeon 7825 (pliers / tweezer) to remove the bracelets before?Bergeon 7825 was described as a very fine tip and does it provide enough grip on the bigger Omega spring bar?

Waiting on my 5980
I have always wanted a Patek 5980ss and I pulled the trigger on a blue dial 6 months old mint and complete. Was shipped FedEx yesterday from Los Angeles overnight priority and its sitting in Memphis since 1am this morning at FedEx hub. Looks like I will have to wait another couple days Very frustrated. One would think that after 27 years in jewelry business I would have learned to have more patience as these things happen every now and then but NOT when its for a Grail timepiece LOL
