I have owned the platinum micro rotor for 5 years and sold it after 5 years warranty ended as I do not want to face more issues with it.
The hour marker and hour hand do not sync. After sending the watch for service and got back, find the watch to have some scratches and the screws at the back dented.
Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin Blue
Hi All, I've been eyeing Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin Blue for some time now, but haven't pulled the trigger just yet because I had other watches that I wanted to purchase first. I would like your honest opinion on the piece. I love the design, however ...
The blue is definitely eye-catching:
deep and warm. But it has a more pronounced presence and doesn't go with every outfit. So I'm afraid I'd end up finding it a bit too ācumbersomeā (canāt find a better word). Whereas silver is supremely elegant and discreet.
I wear my Opaline in so many settings and with so many outfits
Super versatile and fun, refined piece
I like it, but if I was opting for a single LF, I'd go for a version with the micro rotor
I love the micro rotor movement, and with LF, so much of the appeal is with the movement (e.g., micro rotor and tourbillon) The micro rotor is what really brought appeal to LF (excluding the tourbillon here because that one is just too inaccessible for mo...
I agree with you and itās why I acquired
a micro rotor rather than a Classic Origin. Also, I wanted a rose gold caseā¦ Best, Emmanuel

Considering that I have Chopard LUC 1860, which has one or the best micro rotor calibers in the industry, thatās why Iām looking into a manual wind LF instead.
I would also love to hear peopleās opinions on Laurent Ferrier!
Iāve read some concerns over reliability. Similar to Zeus, Iāve been seriously considering their Classic Origin as well, but with the opaline dial: In fact, I was looking at it again this past Friday! ...
I like the opaline very much.
But I was more attracted to the traditional aesthetic of the micro rotor and I wanted a rose gold case, so I chose exactly this. But the opaline is wonderful (the blue too, btw, but I prefer opaline). Best, Emmanuel

Can you please expand on the reliability issues youāve heard about?
Iāve personally had no problem yet with
my micro rotor and hopefully I wonāt have any. The Classic Origin is a wonderful model: beautiful, light, wearable. The only thing Iām less attracted to is the modern aesthetic of the caliber. But the winding experience is first class and if you like this...

That sounds like a very bad experience...
Very sad to hear this. I hope I will not have the same kind of problems. Best, Emmanuel
Regarding the question of LF quality issues just my personal experience:
Been wearing my Galet traveler now on a daily basis for three years and never encountered any problems. Just the happiness of something really nice strapped to my wrist šā¦ And yes, the Classic Origin is a compelling option too. Iād go for the blue! Cheers...
I own the opaline !
Great watch , I do like the titanium option. I do not wear it as a dress watch , but rather more casually. The movement is quite nicely finished in the real, even without stripes. I figure I have other options for that sort of thing, and it is nice to hav...
I love the LF classic case and the blue dial šš¼
But as I most likely will own only one LF it had to be the micro rotor. I stumbled upon the version with the enamel dial by chance and couldn't be happier with it. The watch is very accurate, and the steel case makes it very suitable for everyday wear. Th...
