Yep... have only had one other titanium watch, but this one is a good size so should be interesting to see how it feels on the wrist (weighs only about 80 gms, less than 1/3 of its chunky big brother the LM-3). :cool: |

Congrats Steve on another great looking O7hand6.gif in all honesty though I can't justify use of the SW200 with a ETA price tag :) |

Enjoy the Lagunare!! Sorry, Steve, I had to pile on!! Should be a good pickup. I will be interestd to here your thoughts on the watch. |

Yeah yeah yeah... thanks guys... am thankful for the 'significant' pre-order discount, otherwise I wouldnt have this one on its way. It's familiar looks were one of the deciding factors, but for me the Lagunare hands are somewhat diminutive in comparison to the plongeur hands on the O7. As we say, to each his own... :cool: |

Yes, well, opposites do attract! And I already know that the O7's using C3 have outstanding lume: KenC wrote Yeh................so you prefer short and chubby to long and elegant!!! |

So, as I understand them, great lume is needed so that you can time them from the nest to the road???smile8.gif.....you really need a chronograph! srh_pres wrote: That's entertainment! ;) |

Awwww Yeah! Congrats Steve! The LM-2/2C are my favorites of the O7 line hand6.gif Personally, I love Titanium watches, I have the Ti Sammy, EcoZilla and a Ti/Steel Formex chrono. It is nice to wear a big watch that "disappears" on the wrist from time to time, and I like the look vs. SS. I was thinking of the LM-2, but I have something else on the way that I have wanted for quite some time...more when I get shipping confirmation :D Cheers, Griff |

Nice pick up Steve hand6.gif. LM-2 look is just not for me. Although that 7750 looks pretty good. However, I really look forward for that LM-6 GMT. Still can't decide between Yellow GMT or super limited CF GMT. Last edited on Sun Jun 17th, 2007 12:55 pm by b2s |

Thanks... Yeah that PVD carbon fiber model is appealing; but I recently dumped all my yellow dial watches, so I am going for the yellow dial GMT LM-6. b2s wrote: Nice pick up Steve hand6.gif. LM-2 look is just not me. Although that 7750 looks pretty good. |

I neither have yellow or PVD so this one is tough for me. :P On top of that, I am going to cut my herd again to resonable 10-12 time2.gif This has been my goal for the past month, but it's ain't easy to make it happens  |

Heh... I've been trying to put the watch box on weight watchers too - not easy at all. As for your conundrum, get both - then you can even switch the dials around. A yellow dial PVD would be cool... :cool: b2s wrote: I neither have yellow or PVD so this one is tough for me. :P On top of that, I am going to cut my herd again to resonable 10-12 time2.gif This has been my goal for the past month, but it's ain't easy to make it happens |

I've worn the LM-2 case (sans dial and movement) and it's very comfortable. The wrist presence is just right and very reminiscent of the Flightmaster. I've ordered mine and am on the LM-2C list. I'm very excited about both watches! |

Here are some 'live' q&ds - amazing how light this watch is for how big it is...     |

Wasn't sure I'd care for the weight, but it still has presence even though its less than a third the weight of the LM-3. And Mitch sent me #47 to match my LM-1 #47... :cool: Skipdawg wrote: Oh WOW! cool10.gif |

Nice..... I kick myself for missing the pre-sale discount. I wanted to fill my set as well but the watch doesn't thrill me enough to spring full price. I don't think I would care for Ti. I like the weight on my wrist. The LM-1 LE is my favorite watch and the LM-3 is quite nice to but you already know that. I have a PVD G-1 as well. |

Thx Steve... I also like a weighty feeling on the wrist, and was dubious about Ti; but now that I have it on my wrist, the size of it alone kinda makes up the difference. Plus when the bracelet becomes available in August, that will bring some more weight to it. As well done as the LM-1 and LM-3 were, this one beats them imho...:cool: Scuba Steve wrote: Nice.....
