Nice looking watch but...

What really disappoints here is that at this price point you begin to expect the manufacturer to make at least some minor modifications to the basic ETA movement (e.g. IWC Portuguese chrono - moved the counters to different positions, improved the finish level etc.). Here it looks like MB just took the ETA 7753 AS IT IS with the only modification done is their name engraved on the rotor!

This IMHO proves that "regular" Montblanc watches still shouldn't be confused with their Minerva division, which seems to be a real "manufacture".

Nice looking dial though, but a bit oversized to my taste...

Interestingly both of you have come up with the case side-profile shaped like a curling-rock. It is a nice shape, as seen in Ikepod Seaslug and also JD SW. Think more tedious process for the case, as the lugs could be welded then soldered. Is there a desi...

I believe the "S" engraving on the underneath of the lugs
