Super cool. That purple dial is absolutely stunning. The few times I’ve seen Moser do purple I have absolutely loved it. Doesn’t surprise me as they’re one of the best at doing colorful dials.

Can we see a shot of the back? I’d like to look into this model more knowing full well since it’s an LE of 10 they likely do not come up for sale often, if ever.

Not sure I’d say mp, but streamliners are great. Love mine and a lot of moser watches. I wonder if the naysayers have ever handled the SL. The bracelets are amazing.

Great point, as always felt it looked just a tiny bit, ummm... UNTIL i saw one in person. It really needs be seen IRL / held / worn imho.

Nice watches.
Not sure about the size?
the dial colors/style may not be as timeless as I would like.

I really like the moser bracelet but that’s only from the perspective of trying it on for a few minutes. I’ve had more time on the wrist with a AP when a friend let me borrow his for a day. I do agree their bracelets are much better. But AP has had much more time to refine theirs.
Have AP bracelets changed significantly since 1972?

These are beautiful and finely crafted watches. But masterpiece is a strong word, implying a singular and timelessly epic work of genius, usually by a creator widely respected for impacting the lexicon of the genre and having a larger portfolio of amazing but perhaps sub-masterpiece-y creations. In that light I don’t think the green SL is a mp, I personally really like it, but it is merely finely crafted, not exquisitely so, and only the passage of time will reveal its timelessness (I’m rooting for it though!).

It might be helpful and interesting to hear what the good nerds of TRF do consider to be masterpieces of the horology world, to suss out what it really means to occupy that lofty definition in y’all’s minds. I recently checked out an MB&F EVO PC next to a couple of Streamliners (which I also very much liked) and will admit that despite the large size and large price it’s been stuck in my brain ever since, feels like it fits a true masterpiece vibe. Perhaps in the Streamliner world the only watch pandamonium fits the mp mold?

I was one of those that wasn't sure on what to think of the Streamliner when I first saw it, then it grew on me.
Then saw a Pioneer in person and became very interested in Moser.

Then recently I saw this comparison.:

And looking at the video, I really appreciate the Moser bracelet, but I still cannot get over the shape of the case.
Wish I could, but looks just a little too wonky.
Still a huge Moser fan though.
