Montblanc

Incoming - Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec...

Not mine! But my colleague's in Singapore. The lucky man has the wrist size to pull it off very nicely.

I have been asking him to post here but he is too shy so I am doing this on his behalf.

He had been looking for a fine watch for months now to celebrate his 40th birthday and was considering some Zeniths, IWC and in the end, he decided on this lovely Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec. He loves the inhouse Montblanc Calibre MB R200 for its fine finishing and the unique monopusher Chronograph feature on this watch. He also finds the GMT useful as he travels a lot for work.

Between the black dial version (which I like) and the white dial one, he chose the white dial as it contrasts better with his darker skin tone.

Last week, we went together to collect the watch from a Singapore AD and went straight for beers to celebrate his purchase!
He has joined our Montblanc family. I will encourage him to join the Purists family (not as a lurker but to post something!)

Enjoy the pics! I was wearing my Cartier Tank LC when I collected the watch with him (I should have worn a Montblanc) smile

cheers

And it looks good on his wrist. Now to shoot for a Villeret :-) Cheers, Mike

He is already poisoned by my Montblanc Villeret and Lange Datograph..

The Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec is his first serious mechanical watch. In fact, he is my 2nd friend who chose a Rieussec as his first serious watch! He is very happy with the watch and wearing it daily since he got it last week. Villeret? Think he will slo... 

Ah, wrist size does matter. Congrats to the lucky man. [nt]

And he has to take the plunge now! It is easier to write some messages than to purchase a lovely watch. Well, maybe not at the end. :) Fx

Thanks Fx! my colleague is too shy..
