Thanks for your kind words and good luck with your future acquisitions...
...even if you enjoy such a beauty for a short while, believe me it is worth 😉
PS: I did not ask permission to my wife, otherwise she would have demanded a compensation in jewels or other fashion attires 😉
I must be weak, I just could not resist!
I asked nobody's advice, I just woke up one day and thought life is short ! I took my car and went to the AD... Yes I know, I must be crazy but that one has the most beautiful modern automatic movement on earth imho, and the dial side is not bad either 😉,...
BRAVISSIMO
Congratulations Mike for this new beauty in your collection. Very Elegant version. THE micro-rotor, made by Laurent Ferrier is a MUST HAVE. Enjoy and wear it (and the other one ;-)) in best of Health. Best my friend, Patrickh
I think you made the right choice, Mike!
What an amazing watch you got there! No sign of weakness I can detect there, just sound decision making Congratulations on your latest addition and looking forward to many more pictures of it in due course!
Thank you for your kind words !
Sound decision making I don't know, but bringing a lot of satisfaction, that is for sure I'll make some additional pics shortly... Stay tuned
"...the most beautiful modern automatic movement on earth..."
Awesome watch, and I agree with you on the movement. Big congrats on getting this piece. Looking forward to some movement pictures. Cheers, John
It was a no brainer
You made the right choice. As sure as the sun rises, Laurent Ferrier is always a good thing. Congratulations! I'm very much looking forward to seeing this on the forum.
I'd like to add
I wish I had the same panache as you when it comes to watch purchases. Hopefully it is an acquired skill.
Thank you for your kind words Harry
Yes I believe I took the right decision as I can't stop staring at this mesmerizing movement, and dial, and hands, and hour markers, and case... I don't know where is the panache but probably some consistency in my choices and selection that help me pulli...
That's exactly it!
See I too a fro, go in circles, get confused, drink, lose sleep, go days without eating them buy the watch :P I think this one will be a good friend to you for years to come, the bank manager will likely be jealous too
Mike my friend...
I really like your style! No regrets! You only live twice Beavo! Congrats!! Yours D
Buying this watch Mike
needs no advice from anyone! Many congratulations as it indeed has the best and most finely decorated automatic movement in the market, bar none. And you know how I am with size and fitment on the wrist - from the excellent photos, this watch was made for...
You Should contact Laurent Ferrier
and ask him for a special dial which fits your taste. He will be very pleased to create it for you. Cheers, Patrickh
Thanks Patrick!
You are absolutely right! I met Vanessa, the new CEO at the SIHH this year and she did say a dial could be made for me in a 39mm case. Then I saw the Gronefeld Remontoire which totally swayed me as they were both similarly priced but the movement of the R...
Gronefeld = manual calibre and L. FERRIER = automatic calibre
Both could enter in a nice Collection, IMHO, Cheers, Patrickh
True but when one is retired
time will not really assist the affordability of any watch unfortunately!
Now You have even more time to enjoy your nice Collection ;-))
Enjoy. Sometimes a trade allows to fall in love for another one ......
Surely a wonderful option too my friend 😉
And I love the 2 bros a lot (the people behind the watch are almost as important as the watch itself, I know I go a bit far but that's me 😉), just the Remontoire is manual wound and thus not anymore a possible option for me with one valid hand only...
For you MIke,
the Laurent Ferrier is without doubt the perfect and most practical choice!
Thank you Patrick but this dial on this RG case is just absolutely perfect imho
But for my other LF (Galet Square) I love the original blue brushed dial but a bespoke dial is not out of question and... has been already discussed with Mr Ferrier months ago... Wait and see 😉
I realize your post was most probably addressed to sham...
...with a kind advice and I replied thinking it was addressed to me. Actually I am thinking of a bespoke dial in addition and thought you were talking to me, sorry !
I did not know you are thinking to create a Bespoke dial. Waou.
Should be very impressive. Best my friend, Patrickh
I think you're right on all counts.
And the dial and RG case you picked are superlative.
À la la mon ami !!! 🍾🍾🍾
What a beauty! Huge huge congratulations. Now you have a great LF pair and very complementary (round/cushion, blue/dark grey, steel/pink gold). I hope it's a pleasure to wind it and not a torture 🙏 Please, I (we) want to see few pics of the mouvement 🤤 I ...
That would be the perfect watch to celebrate your 20 k milestone soon my friend ! 😉
Btw, LF makes the most beautiful micro rotor on the market today, so no torture with manual wind 😉
I would like 🙏
If I can sell few watches during the coming months, why not for Christmas? 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
Get your hands on a LF, that's all what I wish you !!!
Believe me dial side or movement side, this Galet micro-rotor is Something !
Big congrats . You made the right choice
Such a beautiful watch to see and i think to wear too wear it in good health
Congratulation, my friend!
Yes indeed, you only live once, so make the most of it! Best Blomman
Are you sure ? 😟
Damjan told me I would live twice... 😥😂 Don't worry I enjoy it a lot ! 😉
I think you made the right call. Great move!
PS If your steel blue dialed version feels obsolete now.....? 😬😬😬😬😬
Absolutely not obsolete ! Just so complementary !
Square vs round, steel vs rose gold case, blue dial vs anthracite : believe me they are just a terrific complementary pair...!
The elegance of these Galet dials are fantastic
A wonderful colour combination Mike. Huge congratz Best, Mark
Thanks for your kind words Mark !
Yep I find this color combination rather elegant, I mean to my taste 😀
Chapeau Mike!
May it tick many happy hours and may you wear it in the best of health. Best Z'
Big congratulations Mike...

Huge congrats!!!
I remember buying the first Micro Rotor to hit South East Asia back in 2011/12. The excitement of a new brand then, and that level of finishing!!! Here is my second LF micro rotor saying hi and welcome to the LF family. Best, Horo ...
Still the same excitement for me even if LF is now a bit more well known 😉 and I am delighted to add that 2nd LF in my collection
Many thanks for your kind words Horo, Mike
Congrats, my friend, this looks sublime
I think we want to see a duo shot with your blue LF
Thank you my friend, indeed you are right 😉
I just made some new shots and I'll post them shortly as per your request...
Huge congrats!
Spectacular piece and I can see how temptation strong. Have been tested with a LF that's still haunting dark corners of the mind still... who knows one day perhaps i too will fall...
Congratulations, as impulse decisions go, thats a good one!
However if I did this, life would be very short as my wife would kill me.
Thanks for your kind words and good luck with your future acquisitions...
...even if you enjoy such a beauty for a short while, believe me it is worth 😉 PS: I did not ask permission to my wife, otherwise she would have demanded a compensation in jewels or other fashion attires 😉
Big Congrats Mike! Just Beautiful
You did very well! Wear it in good health my friend. Very simple yet classy. Love it.
Thank you Radu
Yes I know I am lucky for this at least 😉 Come and see it any time my friend, you will not be disappointed and we'll spend good time 😉 Mike
Thank you for the invitation, Mike!
Be sure I will let you know next time I am in Paris. Wear it healthy, my friend! Radu
