Apparently, a lot of members have been asking me to share some info about the upcoming MB&F watch, so here are some sneak peaks :)

HOOOOLY BOMB DROP.

Can you share the thickness reppists ? Specifically if the midcase will be similar thickness. I know the crystal is domed too.

Looks almost complete, too. I’m guessing launch shortly after CNY?

Rep seems to have seconds at 4 o’clock vs the power reserve which on the genuine is located at that place. Still, the macro shots which are posted here look really great, seems that the dial was done perfectly with the frosted/hammered effect..

To get a outstanding rep, those subdials must be perfect, like nacar.

Not easy to get.

The frosted effect is really tough to achieve

uuffff, I was checking GEN dimensions and thickness is 17,5mm

Yeah, but that includes the giant domed crystal. If the midcase is done correctly, I'll be happy.

The balance wheel looks to be a different type of balance wheel than the gen. Ok for looks, but it's not the same. The gen only has 1 tension adjuster, whereas this balance wheel has 2.

Regarding the movement on the back - I would rather take a closed back with perfect thickness as opposed to a giant thick plated movement.

Just sad seeing the balance wheel being a standard one comparing to gen. Also the subdials are thick and seem to almost 'float'

Always have to be careful with 3d rendering images...
