Double incoming!

The lm101 been waiting for a year and it's ridiculous. Itll have to do for my vout dream.
The GO was an unexpected pickup, almost like a poor man's credor eichi (to me).
Porcelain hand painted dial and manual wind tho not nearly the same finishing it's still pretty darned good. I guess you need a bigger purchase history for the eichi nowadays.

Congrats!! Now run and don't walk to register the LM101 for the MAD One's. Someone just told me that the remaining stock of MAD One Blue is running low now. (Can someone verify?)

And then someone said the Steel LM101 is being discontinued? (hmmm)

My fear is them coming out with a 101evo which I could see if they are discontinuing the steel....my ideal one would've been an evo with the CVD green dial

Thanks everyone. The GO was completely unexpected, saw it did some searches to learn more about it and pulled the trigger. Exceeded expectations by a lot, though prob going to send it in for service.

A SE EVO is likely the next EVO since there is already a Dubai one

One question: were you able to wind all the way to 45 on the PR? I saw in the picture that you were off by a little and not sure you winded it a few hours ago. When I first got mine, it was fine and just 3 days ago, I cannot wind pass the one notch before 45. So I let the watch completely unwind for 2 days and last night it was normal again. Need to keep an eye on it now.

But regardless, it is such a special watch. Very different from everything else I own so far.

the winding resistance is a bit more than im used to, so the transition to the stop point isnt as obvious to me so im a bit hesitant to wind it all the way. just did it and it wound to slightly past the 45. yea the split escapement evo i wasn't a huge fan, reminded me of this pirate board game my kids have.

Spoke too soon, mine started doing the same today. Oh well, not going to worry about it for now if yours does the same.

How does it go with the winding issue? I just winded mine and the issue is back. It is not as bad as before but now I can only wind to a tad less than 45. Previously, I can easily wind pass 45 by a little.

Maybe it is time to let it unwind again. Regardless, love this watch.

hah exact same happened with me today. i dunno, if the exact same stuff is happening to yours i imagine it's a movement design issue, or perhaps a batch of parts that werent up to spec considering both of ours were prob from the same. oh well
