10th Anniversary Magrette MPP
The classic 44mm MPP but now in titanium.
Open for pre-order:
http://www.magrette.com/shop/8931883589
I think I'm going to order one. The only reason I sold my MPP was the concentration of weight at the top of my wrist regardless of bracelet or strap. Titanium would solve that!

Re: 10th Anniversary Magrette MPP
Correction... have ordered. I was looking at the Magrette page only yesterday and bemoaning (to myself, as no-one else will listen) that there were no new model MPPs. Voila! Look what happened. I usually sit on a purchase like this overnight, but given yesterdays actions I decided this was serendipitous. It'll go nicely with my Magrette Waterman (which by pure chance I happened to put on after lunch today!).gaf1958 wrote: I think I'm going to order one.

Re: 10th Anniversary Magrette MPP
I really like this, if it came on a bracelet I would have ordered one instantly!
Re: 10th Anniversary Magrette MPP
Very nice - and good value too!
Only thing putting me off is the 53mm LTL and 24mm lugs. That's a beast of a watch and bigger than I like.

Re: 10th Anniversary Magrette MPP
Cracking!
@gaf1958 - in your experience Gary, will there be a saving on the eventual RRP by using the pre-order?

Looks like their (the EU Distributor) price takes care of VAT that will be payable if ordering direct.
Mind you they want a significantly larger deposit. (250Euro vs. $200).

IMO, titanium covers a lot of sins with size.downer wrote:Very nice - and good value too!

In truth, it was not the size / dimensions that made me sell mine, it was the weight. The stainless ones are heavy buggers , even more so with the bracelet, but on leather or rubber I found it quite top heavy, a little unbalanced.
As to size, I found it to be quite good, even though it was bigger than most of the watches I usually wear. I will say that Magrette make a very nice watch though.

Additionally, my 'gut' is telling me that it will be cheaper to buy direct; will do some sums to check.
.

.
Buying direct @ $685 + $35 shipping = $720 @ 1.29 USD/GBP = £555.00 plus 20% VAT and £9 RM handling fee = £675
Buying from Forasec.com (EU AD) @ €695 inc VAT, or equivalent @ 1.08 EUR/GBP = £640
My 'gut' is correct.

Re: 10th Anniversary Magrette MPP
Ooh that's lovely, but having owned the same model of MPP twice, I will resist this time. 44mm on 24mm straps felt like man costume jewellery on occasions.
