Hands-On: The MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual Calendar, And Why It Matters To Anyone Interested In Watches
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

Which yachtmaster
Looking to get a yachtmaster I've decided it's going to be the platinum dial. Question is should I go for a late M or a V serial with the older style clasp or a random with a newer style clasp. The question isn't clasp I like them both doesn't bother me which one, I seem to have the habit of flipping watches after a few years not found the one just yet apart from the Daytona and the yachtmaster these are the two I haven't owned what's going for the yachtmaster is the date which I use a lot.
Hulk vs Batman
I have a sub c current model but I have been looking at both Hulk and Batman. Are the watches the same thickness and do they wear the same? I have had my name down for ages at AD but fear I may need to take the pre-owned plunge! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
