Montblanc

Yesterday, a fellow Purist emailed to ask me about my Montblanc Dual Carbon Sport Chronograph. In 2011, after one year of ownership, I posted this review. I guess I should now post my three year review. Since its initial purchase over three years ago, th...  

It is a strong (and positive) surprise for me. Thanks a lot for the 3 years report! Fx

I wear my watches carefully, but I like to wear my watches wherever I go. I would have thought it would have picked up a few nicks and dings by now but it hasn't Mike

Your 2011 review is one of the reasons I became a member of Puristspro. And so nice to see a 3 yr. Thank you for the update. See you at the 5 yr anniversary.

I'm glad the review helped. I suspect I will be doing a 10 year review...although by that time my son will be 15 and he will be the perfect person for it. If I can't damage the coating, I am sure he will find a way :-) Mike

Good to hear that the watch is performing great after three years! Especially with such thorough usage at sand and beach and at amusement parks. The watch looks like it's in great shape. The strap at the 12 o'clock side, is it becoming loose? Looks like i... 

Mike, Thanks for the 3 year review. I remember the amazing first review and resistance to scratches of the Montblanc carbon-based coating. Here is another type of Montblanc Multiple Carbon watch :) Also scratch-proof bezel............. No chronograph thou...  

it could do some damage on its own :-) I still am not sure if I am a fan of this iconic Montblanc Villeret dial design. Perhaps I am just a fan of symmetry and the design just throws my eye off. Best, Mike
