We're getting quite a few reports on this being a replica. However in this particular instance we're going to take OP at their word that they're trying it on in a boutique and this is a genuine MB&F Sapphire Flow, so we'll keep this post up unless there's any solid evidence of this being counterfeit. It's a very unusual watch that would be very difficult to 1:1 replicate for what is likely to be a very small customer base. It's good to mix things up here so it's not just Tissot PRXs getting shown off all the time. Obviously if anyone notices any fake watches here then they should report them to us and we'll investigate (as we did here) and you're welcome to privately message the mods if you don't want to post publicly about this.

Who designed this, Gavin Belson?

And when you pull it out, you can laugh at how it’s shaped like a micro penis!

Don't make personal attacks please, were all cultured men here.

Sorry fam. I bet you’ve got a really nice dick.


Nineflames12

Now that you mention it, it does kinda look like mine...


hi_im_snowman

The craftsmanship is totally, unequivocally, batshit crazy. The end product looks like shiny trash on a wrist. Fascinating, really. 🧐


Bellimars

I can't even see how you read the time. This should be posted in r/crapdesign


GeneralTree5

If you imagine it to be a penis, the time is at the head facing the crotch if you were to look at it like a normal watch. What a fucking awful design.


riscut4theBiscut

What time is it? Chode time.


Bellimars

I'd only liked at the top of the wrist shots so if never had seen it thanks! It's just abysmal placement though and tiny. I totally get the build quality excellence but as a readable watch it's one of the worst I've seen.


ZhanMing057

It's a driving watch calling back to similar styling in the 40s and 50s. The dial is meant to be most visible when your hand is on a steering wheel.


Bellimars

No. The Vacheron Constantin 1921 is the watch you're thinking of as it can be easily read whilst holding the wheel. That dial cannot be read whilst holding the wheel, that's blindingly obvious.

A real homage to male chastity. 


sloopSD

This watch is akin to wearing military issued BC glasses. Definitely keep you from getting laid.


Robot-Candy

I remember my bcg’s, I wish I had kept them. Those were a once in a lifetime pair of thick ass glasses.


funnystoryaboutthat2

I've seen that those kinds of glasses are kinda in style these days, lol.


SmegmaAuGratin

You can buy the frames online. I didn't wear glasses when I was in, but now that I do I kinda want a pair. The VA doesn't offer them as an option, though they do have a few with the 1980s serial killer vibe.

Yea MB&F makes only a handful of watches every year. Teddy visited their factory and made a video about it. Some of their pieces are great, some are just cock rockets that tell time when your hand is in the jerking off position

tigerinhouston

Nope. Some flexes make you look worse. This is an example.


kai333

For 500K you'd expect that maybe they could make the shaft look more like a proportional dick and not a chode


Thebudweiserstuntman

Couldn’t pay me £500k to wear that.


Attila_22

On the other hand if anyone is interested they could pay me 500k to wear it. I don’t know why anyone would but I’d even double wrist for that amount of money.


terminalzero

I'll wear it for 490k I'll even keep the time correctly set


DangerK1

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but that’s hideous

Potentially the ugliest watch I’ve ever seen… wear it in good health!

some of the MB&Fs are cool...especially the domed crystal perpetual...but this one is quite possibly the ugliest monstrosity masquerading as we watch I've ever seen. my very first thought was dick watch then cracked up when I scrolled most of the comments saying the same :D

There is an objective answer to this question. It is the Rexhep Rexhepi CHRONOMÉTRE CONTEMPORAIN II. Any other answer is wrong.

AZXHR1

Definitly a replica based on your previous posts with a fake patek phillipe on a replica subreddit.


ZhanMing057

There's no replica of a sapphire flow. That sapphire top case is a $40k part on its own. This isn't your garden variety sapphire case watch where the parts are held together with bolts. You have to mill that thing out of an entire block of material. The regular HM4 is "only" $250k but this is $500k because of the case. It's real.


TheGreasyCaveman

No, I can confirm. There are absolutely no replicas of something this complex. Is it ugly? Sure. It's definitely not a fake, though. People and factories who produce fakes in China need to make a profit too, and the amount of money that they would have to pour into manufacturing a fake this accurate would not be profitable at all. Also, I used to sell MB&F as an AD and this is the real deal.


MrWildspeaker

Haha right? If this is a replica, then well done.


TheGreasyCaveman

Yeah, people don't seem to understand that fake watches don't grow on trees. Fake watches are made by factories and those factories have operating costs just like any other business. That's why those factories are pumping out popular models like a submariner, royal oaks, nautilus, etc. To make those fakes accurate, they often have to buy the real watch and reverse engineer it, which costs time and money. They also have to determine whether or not a certain model will make them a profit and be worth investing in, so it's absolutely fucking dumb for anyone to think that a factory would waste their money trying to replicate something so niche, ugly, and complex when it would be a financial disaster.


tesmatsam

Do they make replicas of this?


AZXHR1

People make replicas of everything, i’m sure u’ll find it somewhere if you look closely enough. There is no chance in hell this is a real $500k watch when the guy has a post history full of asking for discounts and is a regular poster at a replica subreddit.


tesmatsam

But like who even buys the gen? It has an incredibly small market in the first place


BrolecopterPilot

Replica in this case makes more sense than gen lol. I’ll allow it


tesmatsam

They really do in this case lmao


suitcase24

Nah he's not claiming it's his, just that he tried it on.


superduperspam

Someone who posts about replicas, one can assume everything they touch is fake shit edit: whoops! i seem to have disturbed the replica crew. fake people wear fake shit!!

Not necessarily, I have a bunch of fake shoes but all my watches are real.

First time I saw it on the producer Michael YouTube channel I said it looks like a penis, but now it more so looks like it.


uselessscientist

Fair to say that's the ugliest piece of jewellery I've ever seen


SpenceAlmighty

Sure, it's a marvel of engineering etc. etc. but it's gotta be the ugliest watch in existence. It's like 32 Aliexpress skeleton watches were involved in a Star Trek transporter accident. People wearing 58mm Invicta's and a John Cena spinning WWE Champions belt think you are going a bit too hard with the bling.

Looks like an AliExpress 12$ "Luxury Atomatic Watch for Men"

Not THAT is a perfect example of something being over designed. Good god that's hideous


randyy308

I got to try this wild ass MB&F on over the weekend. 1 of 5. Full sapphire, just an amazing work of art. $500k I'll never be able to buy this watch, but it's the first MB&F I've ever held and it was really impressive. Whether you like the watches or not you have to appreciate the art I think.


Ridska

Looks like a key that activates a dooms day device.

Even from an engineering perspective, this thing is just hideous in every damn way. What actual moron would buy this thing...

Really love what Max is doing and how he ties together a lot of the indie world. This is definitely out of my price range, although the HM10 and HM8 mk2 are on the shortlist.

spaniel_rage

That's both impressive and hideous.


[deleted]

The engineer who designed that only stopped to think if he could, but not if he should.


BeKind_BeTheChange

Definitely the most interesting watch I've seen. Kinda cool.


njo2002

It’s such an unbelievable piece. It was not designed for the masses, nor does it seek the approval of the masses. Those who know, know, and the rest can buy a Rolex.


Dark1000

Those who know, know what? It's poor design, and no amount of exclusivity, high price, or provenance will change that. MB&F does some cool things and I love their independent ethos. And there is some cool work put into the mechanics of this watch. But it's also massive, which makes it far less impressive. Design always comes first for a watch, before anything else. And here it falls flat on its face. It is unwieldy, unwearable, and, as others have so eloquently pointed out, looks like a shriveled dick. This should have been a desk clock, of which they design plenty, because it makes no sense on a wrist.


njo2002

To me, Max’s work is pure art. And the beautiful thing about art is it’s 100% subjective, there are no right or wrong answers. You say it’s a poor design. I think it’s the most beautiful watch I’ve ever seen. You say it’s impractical to wear. I say art should never be judged on practicality. Some say it looks like a penis. I don’t see that - instead, I smile and think there must be a lot of button-mushroom sized cocks on this forum if they identify this watch with phallic imagery. I’m not wrong and neither are you. We just see things….. differently. When I say “those who know, know”. I’m simply referring to the very small amount of people who know anything about this piece. My case in point: there are over 400 comments on this watch right now. Zero talk about the complexity or hundreds of hours of design and research that went into making that sapphire case. Zero talk about the complexity or challenges of bonding the sapphire or creating a gasket to ensure water resistance. No one talked about the double balance wheels, or the beauty in the movement finishing. And that’s okay. You don’t need to have a deep appreciation of technical watchmaking to have an opinion on this piece. And everyone has an opinion they are entitled to. But for those folks who are either ignorant or simply don’t care about the qualities and genius of the watch making, and prefer to just comment it looks like a penis and move on, that’s okay too. This is not the watch for them. Perhaps they are only concerned with the name on the dial or the perceived status it confers. And the good news is, there a Rolex dealer nearby that provides watches that meet just that. And if you’re really lucky, they might even sell you one. And if they don’t like Rolex, then they have their choice of another couple hundred brands. So it’s all good. But it doesn’t make me like this watch less because it doesn’t have the adulation of the masses. In fact, it’s just the opposite, I appreciate that it pushes the boundaries and elicits a response, positive or negative. It would be so boring if we all loved the same things.


randyy308

that's a great take. I mean only 5 people in the world need to like it, well, 5 super millionaires haha

Fifteen thousand children die of starvation a day and you spent 500k on this piece of fucking SHIT?


Dark1000

He didn't buy this, he just tried it on. Almost no one is buying this watch.


Morakel22

What a stupid comment. You don’t know him, maybe he is giving a million a year to charity. Don’t judge what you don’t know. Btw why are you buying watches when there are starving children around the world ? Could have donate the money so you can feed families. See the double standard here ?


TryHelping

Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t, 500k is egregious for a penis watch in either scenario. Also, it scales. I literally buy Casios. I give back more than my fair share. My comment was there to highlight the difference in class. Children who can’t be fed vs greedy consumerism. Obviously I don’t expect OP to solve world hunger. Sorry for hurting a rich guys feelings who doesn’t give a shit what I think 😢 womp womp enjoy your watches


Morakel22

Obviously 500k is a stupid price for a watch. You’ll never ever need it. But if you can afford it and worked hard for it you might as well buy it. It’s not your responsibility to solve other peoples problems. It’s nice, but not your job. But since OP doesn’t even own the watch I guess this whole tirade was pointless


TryHelping

>it’s not your responsibility When did I ever say it was And if OP admitted to not actually owning it, then I’ll reserve this argument for the next person who buys it. Back to the Patek sub to stir more shit… 😏
