Montblanc

I recently received my Montblanc dark blue alligator strap. I have not a single complaint about my original combo, but still wanted to try the factory look. About to be united after a brief separation The AP Tool Kit instills confidence. The tools are as ...  

There are not many modern watches which gave me such a strong feeling. Magic. As for the strap, I would love to find a canvas one, navy blue, white stitching or not. Best, Nicolas

This can be our own little group buy!! Who else is in?

Seriously, add one for me when you find "it", and PM the address for payment ;-)

I hope you don\'t mind, but I guess we would rotate the straps anyway Stefan

hey Nico if you are planning for a group buy, please count met in. thanks Bro !

I\'m lucky that my wrist cannot accommodate the size otherwise there would be trouble at home with the boss... :P On another note, that AP kit is amazing! Where is this from if it\'s okay to ask?

:P

(tried on the RG version)...now let\'s see about the SS...

The watch is beautiful. The case is listed at 44mm, and it feels every bit of it. Hefty, indeed. I bought that AP Tool Kit 10 years ago. It was very difficult and expensive to acquire. I recall it was discontinued shortly after I bought mine; I don't know... 

Thanks for the information. It is very nice indeed!

The nubuck brown is a real winner, too

Yes, 2 winners so far.

I'm counting on the "Purist Moderator Team" of you, Nicolas and Robin to come up with strap options and I'll just jump on the wagon If anyone has pull with Montblanc (hint: Nicolas, Robin), a factory bracelet for this watch would be cool. I can picture it... 

What a pleasure this watch is to wear.

Seeing you enjoy this watch so much makes me even happier Yes let's see if we can find a nice navy blue nato strap for this Cheers Robin

My favorite piece is my 15202. I place this MB right next to it as a co-favorite. Thanks again for all of your assistance, Robin! You do both PuristSPro and MB very proud!

you are very kind and encouraging

That brown Panerai strap doesn't match the MB well if you ask me. I have to go to my local MB Boutique to check out this beautiful 1858 Chronograph. I still haven't seen one in the flesh yet! - AT

The Panerai strap is awesome on the blue dial. You'll see, that new blue dial Radiomir that was recently announced, people will use the same strap.

In the same time, I wonder if it is a good idea, as this is the watch which got most wrist time since 9th of March....

. . . please do let me know (if you don't mind a clone across the pond!). M4

Or, if with stitching, then an ecru one. Now we have to find the strapmaker... And if the price is not too high, then we can try to get a second one, ecru, with blue stitching. I also think that a nice calf may work very nicely, too. The top would be Cord... 

Like the casual and sporty look of it. Of course the original blue alligator is nice too, but I am more drawn to the first pics with the brown Nubuk. Stefan

I did change to the OEM dark blue gator, certainly very nice. I think the brown Nubuck presents a total experience with more character though, and I'll change back at some point.
