Thank you. I think I sneaked in at the right time. The demand seems to have exploded after I put in my order.
Very happy with this piece as it can give me a taste of Voutilainen before the Vingt8 arrives. |

Thanks and can you still order a LM101? I was told by multiple ADs that MB&F stops taking order. But hope I was wrong. Good luck.
Thank you and how are you doing with the 5172? I heard AD stops taking order for blue now? My wife and I used to feel LMs are odd looking and they do grow on you. Now that I have one in my hand, I can see the work and thoughts going into it. I wish I had bought a LM2 back it was trading at 50% off list at used market. |

The Taiwan MAD Gallery told my friend about two weeks ago that there are 600 people on the LM101 waitlist globally. Not sure if it is just at the MAD Gallery or with all ADs too.

I'm not too sure about new orders as I haven't been back to the AD in a while. The last time I was there I asked for a Rolex for my wife and I but I still haven't heard anything yet... not sure if I ever will ![]() |

Thank you! It is very comfortable and wears smaller than the 40mm size. I never have a LM before and was concerned with the dome but even with the LMX’s extra tall dome, it did not feel like an issue. So it is even less of a concern on a LM101. It slips under a long sleeve shirt easily. The only minor flaw is the deployant buckle. It is a little pinchy and open/close different from other brands. But overall, it is a very special piece as soon as you hold it in your hand. I think I am now in trouble as MB&F is fast becoming my favorite name… |

Both my AD and another AD in Paris told me they stop taking any LM101 order for a while already. They are both in Europe so I am not sure if is specific to Europe. I think I may have read or watch somewhere that Max also said something to the same effect. Max said that the LM101 is MB&F’s Chronometre Bleu. Maybe he got his wish ![]() |

The movement does have a lot of Voutilainen feel to it. And hence I am super excited with this arrival so I can have a taste of KV. |
