GREUBEL FORSEY Signature 1
The tourbillon is the watch muse for Greubel Forsey. Every single one of the timepieces made by the brand has had one, two or even four of this high precision mechanism. This year though, the duo are mixing things up. The Signature collection is taking the brand up a notch. The idea is that a guest watchmaker designs a timepiece. They may have free reign in their technical decisions but the piece must adhere to precise specifications regarding the quality of the technique and design that Greubel Forsey is known for. Didier Cretin, behind the Double Tourbillon Technique in 2009, is the first watchmaker to set out on the adventure. The long-term collaborator brings us the Signature 1 with a manual wind movement inside the smallest case to be made by the brand at 41.4mm. There's no complication, just an off-centre hour and minute display, subtle small seconds and balance wheel. Less is more. Price on request (33 gold and platinum models, 33 steel models).

Should I sell my 5960/1A?
I need some of your expertise. I bought a 5960/1A when it first came out. I love it as much today as the day I bought it. However, I've only worn it a handful of times. It's just not getting the wrist time and I don't see that changing.And while I enjoy seeing it in it's home, it's there all of the time. So, I'm thinking I may sell it. With that, do any of you connoisseurs think that this watch will greatly appreciate over time (i.e. once they stop making it) -- or should I just sell it and I'll have no financial regrets in your opinion?Yes, I know I could wear it more, but let's assume that's not an option. Thanks for the input as always!

RSC recommends I replace Dial and Hands
Hi all,I sent my 16710 D-serial (2005) to Dallas RSC. I recently picked it up in a private sale with no known service history. RSC states in the quote under Watch Condition: Hands scratched and Dial spotted/scratched. They are recommending that these parts are replaced.1. How do hands scratch and dials become spotted and scratched if never opened?2. I know it is not considered a vintage watch today, but someday it will be considered a vintage. With all this chatter on TRF to leave the original hands and dial what are the pros and cons to having these parts replaced? It does not have Tritium on the hands or dial, and to my knowledge super luminova does not patina (correct me if I'm wrong).Thanks for all of your input.
