Another MB&F


This just arrived after a two year wait and I do not have time to “savor” it yet. The case size is 44mm which sounds large but definitely does not wear like a 44mm watch. I would say it feels even smaller than a ROO 42 diver or the 41.5 VC OS on rubber strap.

The finishing is superb. It is with better anglage and interior angles than the other two LMs I own. Definitely one which you need the loupe to enjoy.

I am waiting for a special occasion for its maiden voyage

Thank you!

I have a LM101 Steel and a LM2 in palladium. Both are classic/dress so I am glad that I have a sports model now

Amazing piece! One of my favorite MB&Fs! I’m interested to hear what use cases you find for the sequential chrono function as you wear it.

Huge congrats! I was really surprised and impressed with the finishing on the Sequential, really nice and combined with the mechanical innovation such a complete package. My favorite detail might be the lumed pr hand, not sure it would ever get any lumed time given it's on the back but I like the consistency :)

This was on my wishlist but since I got the LM2 palladium, I have to remove it for now. But if one with the correct metal and colorway comes along, I will be tempted again. To me, the LMP and LM Sequential are the ones which finally showed that MB&F is in a different league.

I actually completely forgot that the PR is lumed but you reminded me to charge it up with the UV torch.

It would have been shorter but I made some other purchases so I told my AD to skip me and let the next in line to have it first. But did not expect a two year wait.

You should! It is indeed a real mix of art and microengineering.

Really amazing watch. I happened to be in Geneva then happened to walk into the MB&F shop just completely by chance on the day they were releasing this a couple of years ago. It was really cool to see and try on. Congrats and enjoy it!

Reply: That's a tantalizing 'tric fun challenge my love. You're right, so, you know what, let's find out, together (then smile like a Cheshire Cat). Meet you in our Grey room.

Hmm, there's game of the quickest, another of who has the most endurance, and how much longer.

The game of how many within a certain time period.

How long it takes to achieve three...

The list goes on and on and on.... use your imagination

Benefit: Over time she may learn to love that timepiece as much as you do :)
