My ALS Langematik Perpetual

[RaymondT]

Finally ! And I was like  !

[nightwatchman]

how do you top this???

[JOS2012]

Correct me if I'm wrong and advance apologies to owners of even more complicated watches if any, this is the grandest watch displayed to-date by a MWF member (and a very recent one at that) since I joined in 2012 and possibly also the costliest?
The other MWF member (also very new to MWF then) who created such a hooh-hah during MWF 4th Ann Gtg was 'primus' with the PP Perpetual & meteorite dial Daytona but no news since.

The record and very high benchmark is now set....

For awhile at least, its going to be hard to be excited about other lesser watches....

Perhaps we should start a MWF Hall of Fame with a few categories..such as 'Rookie WIS (< 1 year membership or xx number of posts, WIS  and Veteran WIS (member since the 1st year of formation)

Another title we already 'unofficially' have    is Thread of the Year so there could be 'MWF Watch Acquisition of the Year'. I'd like to nominate el118 for this award.

Mark my words, this thread will garner one of the highest counts eventually.

Thank you for all the kind words and encouragement. I believe there must be something "grander" or "holier" than mine, just that they dun bother to write a review. 

I do hope they got some inspiration and finally come out and share their masterpieces for all of us to admire. ( I got mine from u Joseph! Salute ur enthusiasm ! )

Such a well proportioned and balanced dial despite the complications. Pure class. Congrats.

A ALS perpetual calendar. 

What a watch. Very sophisticate yet elegantly present. A keeper in my book.

Congratulation on acquiring this treasure.

Money, and the willingness to spend it, makes many wonderful things possible! At RM294,000 a piece MSRP, this watch is indeed a grail (read - not available) to most!

Fantastic pictures, great write-up, and what a watch! The hallmarks beside the PT950 are another great feature not seen in many watches cased in precious metals!

Just curious, el118, do you actually wear this outstanding watch going out? I know of a young 30-something Chinese CEO who wears a Richard Mille as a daily beater, even when going out for drinks or dinner in the PJ area!

Hi KennT,

Yes i do. It is now my favourite watch with the most wrist time. i normally wear it to office. mind you, i would be very much afraid if i was carrying hard cash but a watch of equivalent value i felt safer. i did ask myself why and i came to the following conclusions

1) the watch normally slipped under my sleeve and not many people get to see.

2) it is not a brand that every tom dick and harry know, like Rolex in Gold. 9 out of 10 people even if they saw it would thought it is some fancy stainless steel fashion watch. ( so in a way do not attract unncessary attention )

3) i always remind myself from going to places i find not "safe"

Hi el118, thanks for enlightening! Wearing a watch that costs more than some new E-Class Mercs on your wrist, you just can't be too careful in terms of safety! And it's also a clear statement about who wears the pants in the house!

Your choice of Platinum over Gold speaks of class and good taste! Not only is PT 10% heavier and 1.5 times harder than AU, it's melting point is 67% higher (1063 vs 1773 *C), making PT more difficult for master craftsmen, who need special tools and skills, to work on this metal compared to AU! These facts should raise a notch higher in appreciating the value and beauty of your epic catch! Wear it in good health, el118!

Thanks. i hope it does not translate into 1.5 times in time of service!
