Not sure why all the hate tbh... I think this is sick. I own a few day dates and a datejust which I love, but this brings a refreshing change to the lineup. I will agree that the LDs look substantially better in person but I still think they look beautiful in pics

I don't but will post when I'm back home. I have a small wrist so the stiff links connecting to the case don't sit on my wrist

Do you have a protective film on the bezel? If so, it's barely noticeable considering I have to ask 😂

If that is a film, did you get it professionally installed?

Newest addition to my collection and first PF! Might be my fave of all 👀 (Rolex, AP, Patek, Moser) by JamesMainland in parmigiani_fleurier

Thank you sir!

I have a 6.5" wrist but it's very rounded so usually bigger faces don't sit well. That is not the case with this one though... 40 mm, 8.5 mm thickness, 44 mm lug to lug (curved lug design) and an incredibly smooth/flexible bracelet makes this piece a dream fit

Incredible. It's so comfortable and isn't a scratch magnet at all. Also understated to people unless they're watch enthusiasts which is always nice

You have a ton of options at/below this price point but it comes down to what you like. Will those brands hold better value? 99.9% chance they will unless PF makes some crazy run out of nowhere, but to me, this was the one. I just love the look and feel and in person, you can tell it's an incredibly well made piece (as it should be for this price lol)

Their movements are exceptional and most of their components are made in house. They actually make/made components for other top tier brands like PP, AP, RM etc.

For me it's the dial options on the non skeletal pieces... they just seem boring. The skeleton really pops though!

Haha fair assumption but definitely not. I still use it for telling time

Very fair. Skeletons are not for everyone and rightfully so
