...that there have been too many LF customizations and proliferation of variations of dials and hands. Lack of consistency in product. You find them aftermarket with all sorts of dials even some watches with additional dial as a package.
In my view either you go down the path of an independent FPJ with consistent and disciplined product range or you go KV-style where almost everything can be individualized. Trying to do something inbetween is a bit dilutive and diminishes the premium of unique pieces like this only watch. And aside from Mr Ku offloading his watch at a loss, the same dealer Is also offering for sale a prototype watch of the former LF CEO. Doesn’t look like a vote of confidence in the brand in my view.
As much as I find LF watches well made and well designed, I have held back and stuck with other indies.
Thoughts?

other than I like some of their offerings and wish them success. But this is actually good, constructive criticism. I'm not an MBA so I don't know the nuts and bolts of some of these proposals, but at first glance a lot of it seems reasonable...
"Interesting" timing

I'm a big LF fan and own a similar piece, but a month ago they released a very similar LE to Ku's only watch pickup. www.instagram.com I frankly thought it was a low blow to his piece unique. I mean goodness - they re-released the same exact watch...
