Thank you Robin
Yes I too am partial to classical looking watching compared to the futuristic watches from MB&F, Urwerk or HYT which at the end of the day are not wearable for someone with a small wrist like me. Also, I strongly feel that the classical watches will last the test of time. Saying that, the LM101 is wearable due to it curved lugs and this is almost a 'budget' way of affording a watch with the unparrallled Voutilainen finishing!
I agree with you of the contrast of dial and case of your white gold piece but I hope to invest in a rose gold piece one day soon as I believe rose gold contrasts well against certain skin tones.
Thanks again.
MB&F Legacy Machine 101 - some macro shots
Almost 2 weeks owning this lovely LM 101 and still loving it a lot! It's not the easiest watch to capture on photos especially the dial due to its very domed crystal but the movement at the back is a joy to capture on photos. The finishing by Mr Kari Vout...
Candies indeed!
Thanks Damjan for your kind words. Hopefully not too many watch candies for us... bad for health and wallets! :) cheers robin
Nice on my small wrist
The watch looks bigger due to its thin bezel and large dial. At 40mm, it is ok even for my small wrist. The short lugs help too. This is the only MBF I can wear nicely without having a large watch on my small wrist. See pic below :) cheers robin ...
Simply incredible......
What a feast for the eyes, regardless of which side of the timepiece is face up. I continue to marvel at this one. Thanks for posting. Darren
Glad you like it Darren
It is an incredible timepiece indeed, like all MB&Fs actually. Finally there's an MBF I can wear this year. Very happy! cheers robin
We see the magnificience of the watch ...
with your shots Robin. Well done and thanks for sharing the fine details with us! Thanks to you I think I will be having sleepless nights thinking about it. :) Best fernando
Uh oh... sleepless nights?!
:) Pleasure to share the details of this watch here and I am very happy you like them too. The watch poison is strong with this one... I got it from Fx too! cheers robin
Robin, I am happy for you ...
that you like it so much. Congrats! "finishing by Mr Kari Voutilainen" Here I have my doubts. It is probably finished by Kari Voutilainen the brand and not the man, isnt´t it? By the way, the movement is my favorite part of the watch and you covered it ve...
Thanks Oliver!
I think you are right. Mr Kari is probably too busy to finish all of these pieces himself! I will check and revert. At least I can claim he is the finishing consultant hehe. I will be happy enough. Cheers robin
Believe me, it's only the beginning...
... now that you've found your "gateway drug"! (",)
Thanks a lot for these superb pics Robin!
You captured all the magic of this timepeice! Fx
Thank you Fx...
Your reviews and posts here have always inspired me to post more good stuff to share here. I should thank you instead :) As mentioned, it was your honest and open review here on the MB&F LM 101 which made me dream of this watch. cheers robin
Super Watch
Robin, I can imagine how happy you are, one of a very beautiful piece of Mb&F. I used to try it in one of the dealer in Singapore, so nice but finally end up buying another brand, maybe someday:-) Regards. Ronald
Thank you Ronald
How have you been? Glad you like this watch too. Maybe some day you will get one too! :) Then we will have bro watches :) Just curious - what timepiece did you go for in the end instead of this? is it one of the very very nice JLCs? :) cheers robin
Hi Robin:-)
When I tried some MB&F watches , finally I ended up purchase Richard Mille:-) My JLC is not yet arrive, maybe still in production in the manufacture... Hope someday I will purchase MB&F, they produce beautiful pieces and they use flat screws:-) Re...
Wow congrats on your new RM Ronald!
Very happy for you! Yes the JLC have to wait for awhile :) Good things we are ok to wait :) cheers robin
Well done!
Hi Robin, My name is Sham and I live between Malaysia and the UK. May I congratulate you on an excellent purchase and for two very good posts with superb photographs. Together with three or four other contributors on this website, you guys raise the bar a...

Agree. RG does contrast well
and I like the warmth of RG too. Let us know how it goes! I believe you will like the RG LM 101 very much :) Cheers robin
beautiful !
Big congrats once again. You gave us a shock (in a happy way) when you annouced the arrival of an independent. This mb&f is a lovely piece and we look forward to seeing it in the flesh sometime soon. Meanwhile, wear it in good health. (by the way.. ni...
Thank you bro. It was a watch I couldnt resist! :)
