Jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) showcases his MB&F Legacy Machine 101 with a new, vibrant blue strap, highlighting how this 'funky' addition injects a playful spirit into the classically designed timepiece. His post, accompanied by several wristshots, demonstrates the transformative power of strap changes in personalizing a high-horology watch and reflecting the owner's unique style.

Now with a funky blue MB&F strap!

Just collected it from my local MB&F AD. These days ordering a strap takes months lol

Now that's the spirit of MB&F! Cool and fun even on a classically designed Legacy Machine

Some pics to share

Cheers

Visited Lange boutique yesterday post collecting the new strap. A misfit in the boutique amongst all the serious Langes lol

Brief visit to JLC boutique to see the platinum Geophysic

Key Points from the Discussion

Small-luxury-world inquires about the motivation behind changing the strap so soon after ownership, suggesting it might be to 'spice up' the piece.
Dickson Lim describes the pairing as 'unorthodox' but 'extremely well done,' calling it the best he's seen on an LM101, and comments on the long waiting times for straps.
Jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) shares an additional wristshot, noting how the blue strap helps 'deflect' attention from other tempting watches like the Platinum Geophysic.
Colton_d praises the strap choice as 'exciting and eye-catching' for the watch, wondering how it would look with an indigo suit.
Fernando believes the blue strap perfectly suits the 'playfulness' of the LM101, emphasizing the importance of having fun with watches.
Jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) clarifies that the second strap was ordered upon delivery of the watch, but took months to arrive due to being an 'extra short' and less common color.

unorthodox is the word that pops to my mind. But, it definitely matches extremely well and by far, the best pairing I've seen on a LM101! Absolutely well done! And yes, I could feel you buddy. A 'refreshed' look nowadays seems almost certain to set us back a couple of months. But it might be a good thing in some way. Just imagine if the waiting time is 1-2 weeks, by the time of 3 months, we might have a dozen of straps for each of our watch. LOL.

As for the TT Geophysic, you are on a slippery slope... You are too often seeing it, it will end on your wrist, one day! ;) Best, Nicolas

if you match it with casual jeans or a dedicated "fancy" outfit. Hope you don´t mind if I ask one question about something that came to my mind when I saw your post. What was the motivation to spice up the piece after such a short time of ownership? Maybe I am completely wrong here, but still it came to my mind. If the watch still makes you smile, wear it as much as possible :-) Best, Oliver

Yeah a couple of months to rotate straps is not a bad idea :) Happy new year!! Cheers Robin
