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.

My favorite Audemars Piguet ROO Line... Schumacher
For a few weeks I've been helping my brother-in-law purchase a titanium Schumi and we finally received it last week. This past weekend I had the chance to actually see this piece in person and WOW. I've always been a fan of the photos I've seen online and in the different forums, but seeing it in the flesh was just amazing. Hands down the Schumi line is my favorite ROO ever. The details on this thing are just perfect... the hex screws, oversized chrono pushers, red date, razor hands, engravings on the plots, etc... just love everything about this watch, except the hefty price tag. My favorite one is the rose gold version followed by the titanium one. So sad this beauty is not mine!!!Here are some photos I took while I enjoyed the piece for a few minutes.

AP RO Ceramic diver or SS?
Hi. I'm thinking that trade my AP RO SS diver to upgrade to Ceramic Diver. Have anyone seen the AP ceramic diver in a real life? How do you think of it? . Is it worth to trade in? Or should I keep the SS and add another ceramic to my collection :) Thanks

Diver Dimensions help
Hi guys,I'm deciding between the diver and the ROO FC as my first AP but needed a few dimensions. Tex was kind enough to do a few for me regarding the Forged Carbon. By any chance would someone here be able to tell me the dimensions of the diver parts highlighted by the 3 coloured lines on the borrowed picture below (thank you original poster of the photo)? It would be most appreciated as it will give me a better sense of which watch to buy in the next little while. Thank You!!!
