MB&F LM101 2021 version (Anyone seen it yet?)
Anyone have a chance to see the new LM101 IRL? Especially the light blue.SS version? What is your opinion of the three different dials?
Also, does anyone know the annual production for MB&F? TIA |

I had a look at the rg one with darker blue dial and to be honest I didn’t like it much because of that dial. It’s just way too vibrant and a bit overdone with the sunburst. I do love the watch itself though; great size and the dome isn’t too tall either.

I wonder if the light blue would work better. Wife already said no to purple and I can only wear white metal, hence the steel version. And I found out MB&F only made around 200 watches per year. |

I agree with yoast, the new dials are a little too loud for me.

Yes I did but I was unable to take pics. Perfect size for me but I have a 7 inch wrist. |

The hammered dials look way, way better in-person. I think if I was going to pick up an LM101, I would go for one of those versions.

My AD told me the SS version is supposed to be the hardest one to get. So very happy I got one allocation. The purple dial on the WG is too loud for me.

My LM101 RG frost edition. I have a 7.3" wrist for context. Great watch and very wearable. I haven't seen the new editions yet, but the frost is definitely much more subtle than the older standard versions.

To US owners, is it easy to get service for MB&F watches? I am in NorCal and I know there is an AD in Menlo Park. Anyone has experience with any of the CA ADs for service needs?

I have not needed any service yet, but MB&F customer service has been amazing regarding everything else I have contacted them about. If you were to have a problem, I am confident that you will not have any issues what-so-ever.
