Biased because I am a dealer-I love the vanguard & they are a lot more approachable than most think (starting at 8k). Very comfortable & IMO you get more for the price than standard mens Hublots which are 7200 & 7700usd.

Obviously resale will be an issue, but the progress the Vanguard line has made is promising.

That would be True but FM was out in the 90s. The spirit of big Bank only came out a few years ago so if anything both hublot and RM copied FM

I agree with the statement above. They are really coming out with amazing models. And they are extremely comfortable in comparison to other large watches. I personally owned a lot of big watches and they are very uncomfortable such as the AP 44 mm. Plus they look very elegant

And honestly if you compare both I feel FM is much more beautiful than the RM

Any more info about this? I can't find anything online besides this post.

I'm sure this is not something that was reported by the newspapers so go figure. I'm amazed how young he was when he started all this and year before that.

I never heard that too

Plus people
Who do coke are thin and skinny

He’s fat as *uck lol

Honestly his problem is

1-he forgot about the Us market
2-he over focused on Asia and Japan
3-he has a few bad models like skafander and Lykan and grand prof
4-he does weddings and tea sets and restaurants for Christ sake

He needs to focus on good models like vanguard and advertise better

It’s a shame cause the most expensive watch (without diamonds) he did it. Biggest Tourbillon is his. He has 100 complications to his name

He should have been great. He will come back I feel and hope

Love that all white 7 day & am excited to see one in person.

I'm a huge fan of white ceramic. The new white Zenith Defy just released happens to be in my price range, this not so much.

I would advise the white FM. Very elegant. Very classy. Beautiful case. Rare also.
