Anyone here try out the new Vintage Tachydate yet?
I'm interested to hear your thoughts...
I know PuristS tend to avoid chronographs with the date function but recently I've been really absent minded and this simple complication has become an important consideration.
It looks good on FrX's wrist.
The movement looks great too.
Any other opinions?
Thanks, Mike

This Chronograph has many assets, for me.
First of all, this is a monopusher, and I am a sucker for monopushers, specially when they are ALSO coaxial. Then, the vintage look of the dial is really awesome. The size is a bit big, but not exagerated. The date, FOR ONCE, doesn't ruin the dal, as it i...
Agree and agreed...
Just saw the new watch with date for the first time a few days ago. And while I agree the dial does look more balanced with it, I still concur with Nicolas that the one I would buy would be the P 10 version as well. For the following reasons; 1. P10 has e...
To be clear, the Minerva Chronos, as used by Montblanc, are among the finest I know. Yes. [nt]
Especially the P 10 version...Which adds friendship to Beauty. Best, Nicolas
+1 !
A truly wonderful watch, yes a bit too big, luckily not too 'vintage looking' (I much prefer this version to the one with the snail scale...) Me too I am a sucker for monopusher chronographs. All in all a watch that I definitely want to handle and see in ...
Are we stupid?
I will try to speak honestly, here, and when I say WE, I mean you and me, and all those who think the same. The matter of the nale on a dial is more important than the watch itself? I am the first to say, and to think, that if te Patek 5070 Chrono didn't ...
You and me, stupid?
I don't know. :-) Like you I really admire those wonderful chronographs. No dispute there. Now, does the name on the dial really matter? Well, no it does not in that it does not affect the quality, beauty of the movement or any other of its parts. Having ...
I think both of you are very smart...
All comments (good and bad) regarding the MB name/branding are valid...from a watch enthusiast's point of view. If you were to ask a typical well-to-do customer who is not a WIS, I suspect their answer would be the exact opposite :-) If Montblanc continue...
Classic problem...
Classic problem that Montblanc will actually overcome quite shortly. You my friend are still buying watches for the name. But in a short amount of time, you will forego this, and as your connoisseurship increases, you will then begin to look at a watch fo...
OK, I like it
For preservation of symmetry of the subdials I would like to see "30" printed at the 6 oclock position on the seconds sundial to match the 15/30 of the other subdial. I think the integration of the date subdial is very well done. My only real concern is t...
It's a mighty sexy watch and I'd love to wear one on my wrist
The Minerva movements are just so damn sexy!!! Cheers, Anthony
I have now seen and handled this watch
I was TOTALLY smitten. All resistence was futile. It totally blew me away. Will now need to see one in white gold. The back and movement view was mesmerizing. Best Z'
I know the feeling...
I few days after this post, I had to opportunity to try on the rose gold version of the Tachydate as well. It looked beautiful on the wrist. The actual models are currently being shipped out to the Boutiques and dealers. Actually these Vintage models are ...
monopusher chronographs with a solid gold dial
Dear Mike, thanks for your reply. Yes! still haunting me. The watch had many of the qualities normally attributed to large vintage pocket watches. Careful handling, added weight, breadth and depth. It was an uncanny experience, akin to standing in front o...
let's see
there are quite a few contemporary monopushers without a solid gold dial. Starting on the budget end with the new Bell and Ross, Longines A-7 Avigation, and Christopher Ward C90 (modified La Joux Perret, ETA, and Unitas base respectively) Moving up the pr...
Many thanks, Mike. Most enlightening!
It is always interesting to set things in perspective. Best regards. Z'
