Montblanc

As alluded to in my previous thread, this was sort of dropped in my lap. I was texting the boutique about the more modern 16.29 editions being a little big and thick for me, with only the old models of 43.5mm maybe working. Moreso a commentary on hoping a...  

If they could appear in my lap without my debit card being used😁

You're only playing credit card roulette with yourself. I have done that too many times or when I have thrown out a balk number at something thinking what are the chances they'll say yes? And when they do and they called my bluff, it's time to pay up.

I mean can always say no, but if I'm inquiring about something I know there's a good chance I will end up buying🤣

You’re right about the movement size fitting the case, this one fits perfectly and is quite a looker!

Thanks for the compliment

The movement and the enamel dial are to die for, and the size definitely works for your wrist!

Black enamel, high finishing, I could not say no!

Seeing your blue 1858 always kept this cal on my radar. The size definitely works on my wrist just an adjustment from what I'm used to.

And most important, for me if course, no cathedral hands. Congrats!

I do like how thwse hands work with the dial and case. I don't find cathedral hands a detriment, but these ones are spot on

and enjoy it in great health! it fits your wrist so well, IMO. cheers

There have been many watch I cannot consider for case/movement it too far off.

also the red band is very cool!

Although some reflection on dial and hands. Also MOP crown 👍 ...  

(Thank God for magnification on phones) ...  

Congrats also on getting it that quickly and just in time for the weekend!!! I am pretty sure that this was the last NOS available.

Answering questions and sharing your MB knowledge. Will wear to dinner out tonight even!

We should get together and compare with 1815👍

It definitely has presence

So now we are two 😁 ...  

I'm not biased😁 I appreciate your posts with this watch as it was some of the only content I could find. I think montblanc needs to improve their online site for watches and the minerva pieces (I do understand this was an edition from 10 years ago and the... 

Some years ago there were nice booklets... I do have a pdf on all Villeret 1858 watches where i can check on all details and variants.

although it won't be for sale at boutiques or ADs afak; only by invitation
