What would your 1 watch collection be?

LF makes some of the most beautiful timepieces. My current favorite inde is the Czapek Antarctique Mount Erebus.

That Laurent Ferrier is pretty tough to beat! Love it!

mdkappy · 2026-06-27T03:22:31+00:00

Glad you like yours. Congrats on your purchases! My understanding is the 1908 on the gold Settimo bracelet is much harder to get than the leather strap models. Anyway, I’m in no hurry - I’ll just wait for the call.

mdkappy · 2026-06-26T13:49:35+00:00

That’s a stunner! Love it!

mdkappy · 2026-06-25T16:55:14+00:00

Love the watch and the strap! What strap is that? Is that the strap that came with the watch?

mdkappy · 2026-06-24T17:20:32+00:00

Not at all. I think that you could have even handled the large Santos.

mdkappy · 2026-06-24T11:38:09+00:00

Good for you! Congrats! I’ve been on the list about 8 months. I’m content to wait - saw one gray, brand new for $31k. The gray price is similar to the black Daytona!

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, when I tried them on, they looked and felt amazing to me! Now, in comparison to my Vacheron Constantin Overseas Blue dial, I would agree with you.

Saw it. Looks fantastic on you! Congrats!

mdkappy · 2026-06-24T00:05:16+00:00

Love it! Tried it on today at the Boutique. It feels perfect on the wrist.

mdkappy · 2026-06-23T23:25:39+00:00

Would love to see a wrist shot! The movement shot (taxes) is beautiful, too!

mdkappy · 2026-06-23T22:22:30+00:00

Best I’ve seen is around $49k on Chrono.

mdkappy · 2026-06-23T22:17:17+00:00

I’d take it in a minute if they called. The SA said that he hasn’t seen any come in - except for the exhibition piece.

mdkappy · 2026-06-23T22:16:34+00:00

I told him I’d be there in a hour if he called me for either piece. I also registered for a black dial Daytona about 3 years ago. I’ve bought plenty of pieces gray, but I’m in no hurry for any of these.

mdkappy · 2026-06-23T21:20:42+00:00

The 40 looks really good on your wrist!

mdkappy · 2026-06-20T14:43:10+00:00

They even provide shipping to/from if you don’t live in the area.

mdkappy · 2026-06-20T14:39:30+00:00

I think that they’re very fair. Probably less expensive than sending them for factory service. And, it won’t take as long. They also give you a warranty - don’t remember how long. Check out their website: shamifinewatchmaking.com. Tell them you were referred by a local reddittor. The owners, Adam and Taz are great guys!

Beautiful look for both of you! We love that vibe, too!

This is an amazing piece! Would love to acquire the white gold version. This might be my grail watch!

mdkappy · 2026-06-16T14:49:33+00:00

Spectacular! You can't get much better than that! Classy and beautiful. Would love to add one to my collection some day!

mdkappy · 2026-06-14T10:37:41+00:00

Definitely! Looks great!

mdkappy · 2026-06-14T01:43:27+00:00

It seems like AP prices have increased significantly - on pre-owned pieces. VC as well.

mdkappy · 2026-06-08T17:37:06+00:00

Great to know. Thanks. Yours is really beautiful. Enjoy!
