Ummm Bernard....

Is this the MBF forum? 

Also - I like Max as much as the next guy...I've had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and I believe that he is a true horological visionary - filled with enthusiasm and ideas.  In no way should my comments detract from Max and his company. 

Personally, Bernard, I think its very wrong of you, as an impartial moderator to stand on your soap box and preach the praises of MBF while putting down HW.  Most who will even read this, know that Max was a driving force behind the opus and Z series watches.  Its one reason why I own HW watches. 

Just because you, personally have announced that you will receive a MBF watch, doesnt mean and/or give you the authority to start making personal, and somewhat derogatory statements about the HW watch brand without fact to support your claims. 

Opus 7 left who cold?  You? So what?  That's your personal view and it shouldnt be stated like its "fact" of the history of the HW brand.

You state that will HW succede in the short term - your statement is "No".  Tell that to my retailer who can't keep the men's watches in stock.  Honestly, as a long time member of this community, and someone who has admired you and your beliefs and "opinions", I think you are way off base here and you are using your "authority" position to further your personal beliefs of the moment. 

This post shouldn't be in the HW forum - it should be in the Independant area - and you should seriously consider if maybe as a moderator and long time purist about making such inflamatory comments without facts.  When I would make personal comments about UN or other brands a few years ago, I would have my head handed to me.  I personally would expect more from a moderator and collector like yourself. 

I have personally seen the MBF watch, and have told Max to his face that it's not my cup of tea.....That I think its unique and a work of art, but not really wearable for me.  He has told me that I will like MBF 2 much better .  More in line with somethign for the "rest of us". 

Enjoy your new watch in the best of health - I am sure you are excited, but please, try to refrain from trashing an entire brand....I'm sure Max would agree as well. 

Best regards,
