Hands-On: The MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual Calendar, And Why It Matters To Anyone Interested In
The Legacy Machine Perpetual Calendar was the very first true high complication from MB&F, which seems very difficult to believe at first, because the impression one has of the company, and its watches, is exactly the one of exclusivity and ingenuity that you ordinarily associate with the traditional high complications. The perpetual calendar in the Legacy Machine Perpetual is like every other perpetual calendar ever made in that it allows the watch to correctly show the date, whether or not the month in question has 31, 30, 29, or 28 days in it. How it does what it does isn’t arbitrary, either – it’s an essential part of the fantastic aesthetics of the watch. To understand how the Legacy Machine Perpetual can look the way it does, you need to understand what a perpetual calendar is, how it works, and how the Legacy Machine takes the basic principles of a traditional perpetual calendar and modifies them in order to allow it to look like no other perpetual calendar

(sorry, cross posted this same thread watchuseek forum also)looking at purchasing these 2 Speedmasters as a matching watch to form a part of our wedding gift. i'd like to get them both in the next couple of days, preferrably from the same place.i have no problem sourcing the 3211.30.00 (with possible discount), but i have been told that getting 3534.70.00 in such a short time frame will be a big problem.before handing over hard earned cash, are there anything to look out for? as far as i know, they are automatic movements, but not co-axial. they are Caliber: Omega 1164 & Caliber: Omega 3220 respectively. are they decent movements?finally, if anyone know of an AD in central London carrying both watches, please let me know asap. (I will call each of them tomorrow morning).thanks. & any recommendations/suggestions/thoughts are welcomed ps - wanted to add a Speedmaster to my collection, so came up with this wedding gift as an excuse, which mean

This is the second strap that I have received that has had this problem. Strap is brand new from HSWA. I've only had it for about 1 month, worn sparingly. Anyone else having similar issues?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few pics of TRF��s Mascot
I just noticed that at the top of TRF, while viewing from the computer, there is a Milgauss and a 116509 WG Daytona with Matte Black (or some would say anthracite) Racing Dial...I am so stoked that I’m sporting one of the watches being displayed!Who chooses these watches and will they ever change?How do you TRF’ers feel about the fact that since my Rolex is being displayed that it may be superior to you Rolex...?Flame suit on.
