I have the exupery, it's gorgeous. https://photos.app.goo.gl/3cSb5TpISmEQglTB3

Some flaws here and there (day date month font, movement text) but otherwise they look nice. The 150 version should have a lacquered dial but it doesn't look like the rep has it. Personally, I'm waiting for the Spitfire Annual Calendar:

This would be a nice one.

Thanks for sharing. I love the Blue/Rose Gold combo but the display back is hideous! The exupery is my next choice. I have never had a YLF before, how is the overall quality? The Annual Calendar works flawlessly? The display back looks quite nice other than the fact that there seems to be less jewels and a 'Swiss Tech' typo on it. Appreciate if you can please share your experience of this watch with us.

Yeah, the 150 years version is a fine piece but if you were to put them side-by-side with the rest of the BP Annual Calendars, IMO, the difference is quite apparent. The Spitfire looks pretty cool too!

Quality is very good as far as build goes . Finish is great, it feels good in the hand, etc . Calendar works fine, it's not actually an annual calendar , just a complete (eg; as far as it knows, every month is 31 days and you must adjust yourself to compensare)

The rotor on the exupery is lovely to look at, but the same spelling mistakes are on the movement. (Swiss tech, international watch gr.) Doesn't bother me, it's tiny print, so better than "TOP GUH" in huge letters on the caseback

I love mine! I was amazed by how solid it feels when setting the date/time etc - it feels like a really good movement, though I've only worn it a couple of times. It clicks over nicely at midnight (date a minute or so before the day) and it looks greatp too - a lovely sunburst on my blue dial. Here's mine last week:

'TOP GUH'.... LOL. I appreciate if you could please share some additional photos i.e. back display, wrist shots in natural sunlight, when possible. :drinks_cheers:

Yeah, that dial is absolutely gorgeous! Have been pondering on getting the Blue/RG combo but I am really hoping YLF could further improve the back display.

Just to share, here's my IW500908.

I'm so tempted to get the RG LPP because of the rotor. Unfortunate that the factory used the blue movement for this model. It should only be for the white gold version. Still......

Can you take a shot of the caseback? Thanks!

Finally got this. I have to say, despite some minor flaws, this is an awesome piece by YLF. Their date and day alignment have improved from their first Portuguese series. And I'm glad they removed the blue movement from the RG LPP version, which the gen doesn't have.

Congrats! I'm glad that YLF heard our plea. Where did you order that piece? Appreciate if you could please share more pics of the back. Thanks.

 

[Tschacko]

Yeah would love to see them too. I wonder if ZF will start making the LPP versions.

 

[Garbancillo]

At last I found a thread about the LPP Annual Calendar! Thanks to all of you for sharing, I would really appreciate if you could upload more pics or share your experiences with this awesome watch.

Hey! could you tell us how long does it last actually the power reserve?

 

[Mindwatch]

I guess as with all of these PR Peacock Movement about 70hours.

I have the rose gold brown dial version and I am blown away by the quality of it. Mine has a different case back though . It has a gold airplane rotor. I actually saw the original while in Harrods in London and the dial color was off but I highly doubt I will ever see ine in the wild and enjoy this as much as any rep I have owned.
