Last january, I bought 12 Rolexes, an Opus 3 and an MB&F4..verdict: I am a believer

Now..I like Rolex. In fact, I like them MORE today than before. The Opus 3...it's a legend that I am a part of. AND...besides Vianney, Max...I am probably responsible for 10% of its fame and true importance in horological art. I will and am blunt about th...  

Now..you know the way I review these things, by thrashing and owning them.

Well...I will try never to trash or harm them. BUT...I go ballistic.

Nice pictures Bernard

of a beautiful timepiece. Thanks for sharing them, it is a piece I have considered long and hard about but never pressed the button on myself for no other reason than other more important pieces in my eyes coming up first. For me the look for the gold cas... 

NO WAY...Max and Vianney, and I know you are kidding...LOVE for parents

They did the HARD WORK and they made these things. I simply bought them for my parents...who were in the second world war, experienced poverty, and had VERY little. Today, in their eighties...I wish them love and a good life. My parents will use and wear ...  

Stylish parents!

That's the way to go! It's fantastic your parents appreciate watches like MB&F and cars like Porsche! Max's creation shouldn't be restricted to people of a young age! They look great in the Porsche!

It took me months to coax them to drive the car...

Being in their 80s, chinese here in Singapore are not all that adventurous. There are many. But those bought their own porsches. My parents prefer Toyotas...sigh.

great watch

not for the faint at heart but you are certainly not that! And great pictures! Best Andreas

Great watch from Max and friends, and only less than 50 made!

Pictures? Well...honestly, I am at the bottom of the curve of the camera. I read on line that the Nex 7 has no lenses in Sony that are ready...so I guess these are pure flkes.

Your instincts are usually correct, Bernard. the MB&F4...

Is not that appealing to me.

Yah...the adventure for MB&F is just that Ronald...Max will have to accept

 
 By: bernard cheong : February 8th, 2013-15:54
that to walk the edge is to have lower sales. These watches will never be mass appeal...I wish that like the Opus 5, they would, because I think MB&F are doing the world a good thing. Incidently, the Devon, with its radical look, is more accepted..but... 

Great Pictures Bernard!

The thing I love about Maximilian Büsser is how he creates watches with an idea from his past or thinking completely differently. The HM4 is sweet because it invokes memories of Aeroplanes and Jet Engines that most of us loved as a child. The HM5 is retro... 

You are very kind. Thanks.

I do feel bad about posting pictures of expensive things, especially during these hard times. But, often...if I do not..then many more people will never get a chance to see them in their natural raw state...ie not advertisement pics. But also, because I a... 

Hats off to you Dr. Cheong! :-)

New. I want to have the complete series of the new change in size.

Rolex has always been one of my no brainer buys, easy to maintain, except for the tridor incident. Otherwise, I like the president and datejust bext. I find the Deepsea hard to accept aesthetically, because of the curved glass...I always have this mental ...
