but on both sides of the case this does look fabulous ...  

The former version from past year. ...  

...the color is unusual. I also like the ‘just because’ attitude of this watch. Wish it were a bit smaller but I can’t afford it anyway : )

Would you take a Nautilus into the water? You can, but most people won't. Will you take off the Nautilus to scrub a pot? Probably not. To me, that is a casual or relaxed watch. The Fifty Fathoms is sportier than this watch, bigger, thicker and with a beze... 

It looks great but somehow sports watch and tourbillion don’t add up in my view

I’m not fond of the lume colour.

Yes.

The metalworking on the case and bracelet is exceptional imo. M4

I’ve been waiting for that since they launched it. Who can shake up Laurent here? 🤔I wonder

. . . sensible. For a tourbillon. Wouldn't buy one even if I could, but that's another matter altogether.

LF are brilliant and beautiful watches... but rarely worth the cost.. in terms of resale... but just on a visual level... I love this bracelet and case combo... it is beautiful and excellent! get where I am coming from?

But putting aside the sticker shock, and loss of value once it's "off the lot" this, and most LFs, are gorgeous watches. I don't see the point in the tourbillon; though putting it on the movement side I think is the right way to go.

Think it will be the next step

i also think the clasp is very well done, it is a hidden one similar to 'president' bracelets... i believe soon there will be a 'non-tourbillon' version that will follow ! Best, mahesh.,
