Montblanc

Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Chronograph Red Arrow LE 88 and Rattrapante Ti DLC 2022. A side by side photo.

For the pleasure of the eyes.

Here, I would go for the Red Arrow. Give me any other white metal Rattrapante version and I would choose the Rattrapante.

You?

Best,

Nicolas

The more I see these the more I crave seeing the unveiled secret in the flesh hopefully very very soon!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 5th, 2022-18:34

Hopefully, mon ami.

cannot take too long anymore

they have to be sold (either to ADs or boutique customers) before end of March 2023 ;-)

You, you know the 2023 novelties.... :))))

By: amanico : November 7th, 2022-09:18

not really...

By: penfriend : November 7th, 2022-13:15

I thought so... :)

By: amanico : November 7th, 2022-15:04

Should I wait for the 2023 novelties then? You see to be in the know :-)))

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 7th, 2022-13:05

no, the fiscal year at MB ends in March and til then the products have to be sold / taken by boutique clients or ADs

By: penfriend : November 7th, 2022-13:18

Pricing will go up for sure, even if they (and I don't know for sure) built another unveiled secret. Some year they will use the caliber again, probably in WG, but this is the first edition (and the cheapest I guess).

Makes perfect sense! Inn any case I am still anxious to see and possibly get it!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 9th, 2022-13:05

Well, you cannot complain as you will be spend some time in a great place. ;)

By: amanico : November 9th, 2022-13:17

Thanks for the update! Likely will be similar timing on this side of the ocean!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 9th, 2022-11:24

Here I am split.

By: jlux : November 5th, 2022-13:00

Dial side it would be the Red Arrow but movement side the Rattrapante !

LOL, good one about your split feelings. ;)

By: amanico : November 5th, 2022-16:57

Very close call. With very small margin I would go for the Red Arrow.

By: lm6 : November 5th, 2022-13:13

1 for the Red Arrow.
