Anyone here own this watch?



Haven't seen it in the metal yet but from the pics, I quite like it. A unique take from LV on the the world time complication.

I'm keen to pick one up but have yet to see one posted for sale and I'm not keen on paying retail for it.

Ah...yes, I want it. Hahahaha

I quite like the design. But not keen on paying retail price for it. Haven’t see any listed for sale on the forums or Chrono24. Haven’t checked to see if the LV store would offer any discount from retail yet.

I've tried it on in a LV store, it has nice appeal in terms of design. Price is obviously a challenge, I found on my wrist it was massively thick and did not enjoy that aspect of it.

Many LV watches uses Zenith movement as part of LVMH group. Some have interesting colors and dials but at the end of the day, they are fashion watches just like their goods.

They are only sold in their boutiques if brand new. I used to own an LV watch ( long before when I was not-WIS, pun intended ). Took an absolute bath when I sold it. So no more LV watch for me.

That said, buy it if you really like it and is ok with the resale hit.

That dial would be so hard to read if you were just glancing down at it IMHO, but its your money OP; if you like it then buy it. Dont expect to recoup your money if you ever decide to sell it though.

You're pretty much going to pay retail for that watch. LV watches aren't that popular so finding a used one is going to be a major challenge. Don't expect any discounts either since LV never discounts or has sales.
