It’s a fine watch, but is it memorable

First off, well done on the photos. The proportions of the dial are better than the salmon dial small seconds with the M62.00, significantly so for me. The problem is the M62.00 is a much finer movement aesthetically. At this price point, it matters. The salmon dial and steel case are appealing as well.
In the end, this makes it tough to choose a winner. Today I’d take the M14.08 Pythagore. You may fall fast for a pretty movement, but you stick around for the rest of the watch.
I wish for an end to small movements in oversized cases, but it turns out the oversized trend will pretty much overlap with my youth and my earliest days of appreciating watches. The watch fashion trends that frustrated me in my youth will be revisited with a melancholic nostalgia in my old age. See you in 30 years then, salmon dial.

Actually it is a Minerva from Montblanc. From a horology point of view it could be a future highly collectable line of watches. You have already one in the pocket, i wil follow when i have the chance to get one.
Agree with you

However it is unlikely I will get this piece as I do not like the overall design enough. I still very much prefer their chronographs.
Why not own?

I thought you bought that delightful Montblanc. Buy it. It wil only increase in value. 1000 is a lucky number, a good reason to turn back and show us your new Montblanc 🧜🏻
Not sure if you got the correct person here?

Not sure what you mean by 1000 is a lucky number? This is an LE of 148. And don’t know what you mean by turning back to show you guys the new Montblanc? I never plan to buy it and not banking on it to increase in value.
I like it!

the layout and form of the bridges reminds me the older Unitas movements, the legendary caliber 48 is hardly recognizable! The wheels are very well decorated, I like the texture of the dial as well! What is the price tag? Yours, Adam
Nice Montblanc but no Minerva

Compared to the Frey Pythagores the dial is a bit boring, and I would have prefered a smaller size on the case. The new cal MB M 14.08 is a bigger size “copy” of the original 10½''' no. 48 Mechanical Calibre designed by André Frey in 1943, but I think the...
