It's a smashing watch! Here is mine with a Kari dial but not the enamel. A little lighter on the pocketbook and maybe a good in between compromise. Go for it!

Your thoughts on the Gronefeld Remontoire...
By: seehoo : September 15th, 2017-05:19
A week ago,together with some wis\' friends,we were able to meet the Gronefeld brothers,Tim and Bart. We had the opportunity to have a close look at their horological works of art. Which got me into a dilemma...I\'m on the fence in acquiring a Gronefeld R...
Great looking watch, whichever version you opt for.

Is the extra €12-13K a big hit to you financially? If not really, and assuming it’s your first watch with guilloché (presumes you don’t have at least a RO or VCO 2nd Gen) then it may be worth going for it.
They both are appealing...
By: seehoo : September 15th, 2017-09:26
the cost though is a concern if I opt for the more expensive option.
Thanks again...
By: seehoo : September 15th, 2017-09:55
Will give it some more thought. And if I go with the KV dial,I guess I'd have to give something up to be able to acquire something greater.
Thanks Alkiro...

the work on the movement is one of the best I have seen. Hopefully I can reach a decision on what dial to pair it with if I decide to go through with the acquisition.
It might be just a coincidence
By: sham1 : September 15th, 2017-05:40
but one of my current predicaments is similar to yours - a stainless steel Remontoire or a Voutilainen 2 Eight. The former is produced in 25 pieces while the latter in 10 pieces. The Remontoire to me represents excellent value for money for such a complex...
Thanks...

We do share the same sentiments regarding the remontoire with the bespoke KV dial. It's like having the best of both worlds.
Stunning watch (dutch pride 😉)

If you can do it then i would pull the trigger . I have a weak spot for Salmon dails but that KV dail is also a piece of art on its own imho 👌🏻😘 . Hope to see some nice pics in the near future 🙏🏻
You're right...
By: seehoo : September 15th, 2017-09:47
about the Salmon dial. When I first saw it a few years ago,I was smitten by it. The KV bespoke dial though is irresistibly beguiling...
Thanks for sharing...
By: seehoo : September 15th, 2017-09:40
such beautiful pics of your Remontoire. You certainly have piqued my interest even further.
Yes, absolutely.

Kari Dial
By: Gelato Monster : September 15th, 2017-07:42
Go with Kari Dial.
Thanks...
By: seehoo : September 15th, 2017-09:51
I might just follow your suggestion.
My time
By: Gelato Monster : September 15th, 2017-19:28
At day 1, there was no Kari. You can always buy another Kari and have two beautiful dial watches
Thanks Ed...
By: seehoo : September 15th, 2017-09:59
this dial is also one of the options I am thinking of. Kari's work is definitely mersmerizing...
Awesome
By: Gelato Monster : September 16th, 2017-05:37
This is one of the best bespoke kari remontoire

Is amazing. My personal favorite version!

& even better up close and personal.
I ordered mine before launch of KV dials
By: 4Js : September 15th, 2017-11:28
I prefer the simplicity of the original design. In the sun this dial is amazing. Since I own a KV I did not see the need to duplicate. Whatever your decision the watch is a killer. ...
I can see why...
By: seehoo : September 16th, 2017-09:53
you picked this dial. And hence,my dilemma since a Kari dial will make a good addition. Thanks!
A wonderful thing to have such choices.
By: JerryW : September 17th, 2017-16:10
The original dials are so pure and clean imo and the KV dials add another dimension to the dial. All are just stunning, just depends which speaks to you more. If I had to choose one today I would go with the WG case with the original black dial with orang...
Thanks Jerry...
By: seehoo : September 18th, 2017-22:10
That black dial also looks interested too. It's time to make decision soon...
Thanks to all...
By: seehoo : September 29th, 2017-20:09
who chimed in. Most likely I'll be able to give an update in about 6 months.
It finally came...

Thanks to everyone...your insights were very helpful. ...
Congratulations

Lovely lovely dial. I think the kv dial is fantastic
Thanks...
By: seehoo : March 14th, 2018-17:23
Agree with you on that.
Thanks Obeezy...
By: seehoo : March 14th, 2018-17:28
The KV dial is stunning and don’t forget the beautiful movement.
The same one...
By: matto1 : March 14th, 2018-18:06
I would choose. Incredible watch!
Thanks Matto!
By: seehoo : March 15th, 2018-07:14
It definitely is and more...
