MB&F HM2 Black & Red SV Final Edition Watches
The MB&F Horological Machine Number 2 has enjoyed a really rich life. The 'wrist rectangle' is now going into its final limited edition production with two new models. These are the HM2 Black SV and Red SV. "SV" stands for Sapphire Vision, and are related to the original HM2 Sapphire Vision watch that I discussed here - and had a real-life image of here. The whole point of the Sapphire Vision watch was the massive sapphire crystal that made up the front plate of the piece. The crystals were ungodly expensive to make and a tortuous trial in patience as many would break in the manufacturing process. One you make the crystal and it is stable, they are relatively strong, but the weakness is in making them.Now MB&F revisits the SV concept with these two new, slightly more showy models. I am not going to go into full technical specs about the piece - because I have already done that, and they are below. The movement is the sweet looking caliber specially designed for the HM2 with 349

*** UPDATE*** Can anyone help me to authenticate this Oris watch? ***UPDATE***
All, I am looking at this watch on CL and i cannot tell from the pictures if it is real or not. Can anyone tell from the pictures if it is real? If not can anyone tell me any tell tell signs to look for that would make it known if it was a fake? In theory I could take it too a jeweler, but it would be a PITA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!***UPDATE***I ended up getting the watch and am very pleased with it! I took some rubbing compound and got all the surface scratches off and I think it cleaned up real nice. Many thanks for all the help and insight that came from the board. Below are some pics of the watch after I cleaned it up some.

Finally got it!!
Well, it has finally come! Back on the 24th April I bought my Longines Master Moonphase (you can read about that in this thread), but it has been put away ever since then waiting for my birthday. Yesterday was my birthday and I finally got my watch!! It is a stunning looking watch. I love a white dialled watch, and this one looks great. It has a guilloch¨¦ pattern on the dial with arabic numerals and blued hands. I bought the stainless steel case version, as I want a watch I can wear everyday and I am not generally a gold person. And I just love the strap, the croc strap with contrast stitching on a deployment clasp.Of course I love the complications on this watch too! It has day, date and month as well as chrono and moon phase. I don't have the moon phase set properly yet but will at the next full moon.OK, enough talk. Here are the pics.
