I'm strangely drawn to the Montblanc Big Date Flyback Chronograph

Montblanc Big Date Flyback Chronograph. That is a bit of a surprise to me because I don't have many bracelet watches.

If you don't count the couple of Seiko 5 and an Omega Speedmaster Big Arrow that I added a steel bracelet to, my only regular bracelet is the PIaget Upstream. The humid climate in Singapore makes bracelets sensible choices some days, so I've been wearing the Piaget nearly every day now. Gasp! This is the guy who used to say, "No watch spends more than 2 days on my wrist".

But the experience with the Upstream has convinced me to try other bracelet watches. I have only one tantalum and rose gold chronograph but it is on a skimpy crocodile leather strap. Nevertheless, I have not forgotten from whence I have come; so the Montblanc Big Date Flyback Chronograph and the Tantalum/RG chronograph are calling for a test drive......at least.

I can't make it to Atlanta, so perhaps the new boutiques in Singapore will have to do.

Regards,

MTF

Smooth and won't catch very many hairs. For the last three days the weather has been hot and humid here in Maine. I also had to resort to the PuristSPro ABR for three straight days...I changed out the black for the red rubber stap on Day number 2 just to ...

Thanks Mike for the tour of the Montblanc boutique in Atlanta. Looks like they have a good selection of their Timewalker and Star collections. Great to hear that the attentive service level is just as good as the one in the Palazzo/Venetian boutique when ...

Yes I've been to the boutique at the Beverly Center as well. The large sales network

distribution points can only be done with a brand like Montblanc. Like Cartier and Bulgari, Montblanc is developing more into a "lifestyle" brand which has a better chance to succeeding than, for example, a Tourbillon boutique or a Tourneau. While the cus...
