Was trying to figure out how to afford the RG insight. Was too much I would have to give up so that dream died. Ended up seeing the GEF sapphire which i eventually changed to a custom order. Case is a bit clunky but everything else is great.

Congratulations

The AS pieces have always been eye catching to me in pictures. Unfortunately I’ve never had the chance to see or handle one in the metal. Your new piece does not fail to impress, excellent.

I love this brand, it’s on my short list. Congratulations on that amazing piece!

Clunky or chunky?

It's a bit hockey puckish. Dimension wise it's not that thick but but with hard angles and the vertical brushing it seems thicker than it is. I guess it does go with the overall aesthetic of an almost neo breguet.

I had the pleasure to try on the Gravity Equal Force, Tribute in steel and rose gold and the pure resonance. Whilst initially being after the GEF, I now can't stop thinking about the resonance models which means a lot more saving up.........

Just out of curiosity, what was the wait for a custom piece? Also, a lot of a premium? (happy for you to PM me if that's easier).
I do love that custom guilloche!!

Congratulations for acquiring such a beautiful piece! I love that blue background and admire this manufacturer for doing a lot of in-house work on their timepieces, including hand-finishing. I'm trying to save up for the RG though..

Moondoggy · 22 December 2022, 03:32 PM

Thats a lovely dial. Congrats.

Yea I really liked the insight micro rotor. Looked spectacular in person, photos don't do it justice but would have to move half my collection to justify the cost. The Armin Strom does have stealth good finishing doesn't seem to stand out but does have some inward angles. Man wish MBF would do comblemine baseplates outside of the thunderdome and flying T
