I suspect you are correct but they framed it like it was online only and I suspect not.

As far as the watch I did not get one. Certainly was tempted it looks fun and I love me some titanium. Did you get one? Did anyone here snag one for that matter?

No. I did not get one. I already have the blue sport auto... which is hard to take off, since as you say, love the titanium. I will probably wait until they have a different movement, which I hear is already in the works.

Yes, I was tempted, but the blue will do for me for now as well - I will wait for a new movement or a gold version sans the tourbillion.

Nice. Glad they are continuing to explore boundaries with the sport.

I’d like a high end independent to make a 12 hour chrono. For what I time 30 mins is often not enough.

I agree. LF would be smart to make the new sports complications unusual. It doesn't need to be avant guard, per se, since they are more neoclassical in their DNA. But I would love to see something unique both in movement and presentation. My hope anyway.
