If you trust the WatchFinder guy, he said the dial and some of the parts are from the same company that made the MB&F Legacy Machine. So this can be called a baby Legacy Machine then?

Yeah, an amazing value! Debated getting one, yet have so much waiting to come in during the next few months. Still, if they make a purple or orange version i'm game.

MB&F uses other companies for parts of the watches.

Red makes sense from a popularity standpoint. They have a big winner on their hands

i'll hold out for orange or purple.

Someone say purple? I would love one that color. Super intriguing idea and execution. It reminds me a lot of the h Moser Pioneer Skeleton.

There is no world in which a CW will sell significantly over msrp in this market. Rolex are approaching msrp for many models. You’ll get one if you want.

I'm never selling, as I bought mine to wear. But that's just not true.

C60 Concept sells above RRP. Bel Canto certainly will, and easily.

Just because someone is asking well over doesn’t mean squat. Will see.

Sad state of affairs, yet human greed is what it is.

I haven't seen one in person. From the media I feel the price is right for the brand but not for what it is. It's underpriced relative to the market
