Another MB&F

This just arrived after a two year wait and I do not have time to “savor” it yet. The case size is 44mm which sounds large but definitely does not wear like a 44mm watch. I would say it feels even smaller than a ROO 42 diver or the 41.5 VC OS on rubber strap.

The finishing is superb. It is with better anglage and interior angles than the other two LMs I own. Definitely one which you need the loupe to enjoy.

I am waiting for a special occasion for its maiden voyage

Thank you!

I have a LM101 Steel and a LM2 in palladium. Both are classic/dress so I am glad that I have a sports model now

Amazing piece! One of my favorite MB&Fs! I’m interested to hear what use cases you find for the sequential chrono function as you wear it.

You can never go wrong with an MB&F, but that is definitely a statement piece. Congrats!

Huge congrats! I was really surprised and impressed with the finishing on the Sequential, really nice and combined with the mechanical innovation such a complete package. My favorite detail might be the lumed pr hand, not sure it would ever get any lumed time given it's on the back but I like the consistency :)

This was on my wishlist but since I got the LM2 palladium, I have to remove it for now. But if one with the correct metal and colorway comes along, I will be tempted again. To me, the LMP and LM Sequential are the ones which finally showed that MB&F is in a different league.

I actually completely forgot that the PR is lumed but you reminded me to charge it up with the UV torch.

It would have been shorter but I made some other purchases so I told my AD to skip me and let the next in line to have it first. But did not expect a two year wait.

You should! It is indeed a real mix of art and microengineering.

Really amazing watch. I happened to be in Geneva then happened to walk into the MB&F shop just completely by chance on the day they were releasing this a couple of years ago. It was really cool to see and try on. Congrats and enjoy it!
