Dear all
First of all, a big thank you (ok I'm a little bit ironic) to Robin who POISONED me with his gorgeous, stunning, incredible and so on MB&F LM101.
So, I went to the MB&F Geneva shop this morning to see all these beauties in the flesh.
To begin, two line up with the four machines (only the frost yellow gold was missing). Really sorry for the bad quality of my shots (iPhone + artificial light). You can easily imagine that they don't do justice to these timepieces unfortunately.
Below a shot for each of them.
For the moment, I have a true preference for the frost RG (elegant and dressy) and the blue dial / platinum case (modern and sporty).
What are your thoughts?
Different treatments of the movement between the frost and the platinum.
Bonus track (the LM2).
Best wishes
Alkiro

Frosted or the black one for me!
What a gorgeous occupation for a saturday! Really great movement too! Enjoy your hard choices . Best, HGL
Thank you HGL. To be honest, the frost RG has a head start on the blue one in my heart.
Well, you know, when the weather is awful in Geneva, it's the best hobby no? Best wishes Alkiro
Yes it is... :-)
But when I see the weatherforecast, you will probably have a few new watches within a week! 😄 Have a nice restweekend!
Wow my friend, that is a special and wonderful piece to add...
For me, the Pt blue one will be the choice. The RG frosted dial looks too similar to your Breguet. Congrats in advance. Rgds Raymond
You're right about the Breguet my friend even if the treatment is different between both.
For the moment, it's just an exploratory idea but I love this model so much. Best wishes Alkiro
Sow the seeds and soon it will blossom, I can understand your love for this brand.
I'm also intrigued by this but only concern is the dome crystal and thickness. My worry is someday when I was swinging my arm and walking, I hear a collision sound and "ouch"... Rgds Raymond
I fully understand your reluctances about the dome crystal (same questions for me). Regarding the thickness, that's ok.
But yes, you have to be cautious with it in my opinion :-/ Best wishes Alkiro

Not only is this my favorite brand, but my favorite model as well. That blue dial is just stunning. Alkiro, tell me mate, will they accept a kidney as a deposit?
It's hard to resist anything from MB&F...
That Max Busser is a genius. As someone who lives in Silicon Valley, his influence to the watch industry is almost akin to what Steve Jobs did for personal computing and smart phones or Elon Musk for transportation and environment.
I too was poisoned by Robin but...
unfortunately (or fortunately) they have no distribution here in Zürich so I never had the pleasure to try it on! From the selection I would go with the platinum because the RG looks similar to the breguet BUT you obviously have to follow your love and I ...
The RG is priced a little bit less than the platinum one ("little bit less" is always a subjective notion when we talk about watch prices LOL) but it's not really the main question here.
Thank you for your answer and I really wish you to see these models in the flesh if you come to Geneva ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
Slight preference for the blue on my part...
But then I am personally not a coloured metals guy So, decision imminent? Let me say you cannot really go wrong with any of them
I forgot something
I probably know where we'll go to eat tartares in case you come to Geneva on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday ;-) Best wishes Alkiro ...
Perhaps it was a one off
but I did own a rose gold LM101 but it did not keep very good time so I sent it back to MB&F under warranty. It did take 4 months before I received the watch back ( I had bought it in Kuala Lumpur and it had to be returned to Geneva via Singapore). I ...
Should not have happened !
So sorry to hear this sham1 and thanks for pointing this experience out as I would have never heard of it otherwise . I don't usually interfere with discussions on our brand but thought it was important I do here. The chronometry of our pieces is tested b...
Any one of the LM 101s !
when I got my WG grey dial version, it was just launched with only the WG and RG versions. Between the 2, I prefer the WG version as I thought of a cooler watch paired with a funky blue strap. The RG version is classier and less versatile I felt . The nex...
I was waiting for your answer dear Robin ;-)
And I'm not disappointed each time I can see one of your shot of this incredible LM. Thank you my friend for giving me your feeling about this timepiece. Best wishes Alkiro
Just stunning watches .
Great way to enjoy your weekend to look and try these beautiful wristarts . I realy like them all but if i need to pick one i think it also be the frost rg but that blue one is a stunner (they all are) too . Thanks for the great post
