Worry free watch wearing
remember this pic?
I can say that the MB Dual Carbon Sport is the watch for me when I'm out and about.
Now I can really enjoy priceless moments with the kids with that background nagging worry about accidental damage to my watch.
Like this weekends apple and pumpkin picking venture with the cousins.
No special arm manuvers needed to avoid tree branches, falling apples, wildly swinging wooden tools, and flying dirt.
Pure pleasure...finally I've achieved that level of watch zen with this Montblanc
Enjoy, Mike

The pleasures of outdoor living . . .
. . . go along with having young ones at home! Comforting to know you can pick berries after it rains as well as before without worrying about scuffing up your watch. I never wear a watch when I go picking fruit from Uncle Jake's orchards because none of ...
Only 4-5 months of the year only :-)
The rest of the time the outdoors look like this I know the watch's exterior can hold up to the ice and the moisture...not quite sure whether the actual timekeeping can be accurate in the cold temperature though. Best, Mike...
what happened at first pic?
Hi Mike, seems that you have had a great weekend! What happened at the first pic? )) Best,
It was from my field testing experiment
The dual carbon coating is not the usual PVD or DLC process. Here is the original post which described the unsual test montblanc.watchprosite.com Best to you in the Netherlands, Mike
It's a great release ...
... to be able to wear a watch and not worry about it. The PPro ABR is the only piece in my collection that really fulfills that, but it's a p,easier to wear for that very reason. Perhaps I should look at another DLC watch? Thanks for the great photos. An...
The PVC coating on my PuristSPro ABR
is already showing some battle scars. On some surfaces I can see the coating already scratched and the base stainless steel showing through and a few of the printed numerals along the scaled bezel are fainting thin. Love these changes because I know that ...
My ABR is holding up well ...
... and it has had a few small knocks. But I tend to be fairly gentle on watches. I'm sure the DLC is superior and your real-world experience is useful. Thanks, Mike. Andrew
Rose gold?
So when I first saw the post I thought "yes"! And the. I thought "why"? Why make a watch out of gold and then DLC it black? Does the gold shine through, adhere better? I'd love to see a Royal Oak get this treatment. Fear of bonking the sharp edges sometim...
stainless steel is under this coating, not gold
AP is very advanced in their case material technology and I know they have played with various surface coatings as well. Do I dare say that AP is probably the most involved in this area of research in the whole watch industry? At least Mr. Martin Wehrli c...
Wow, that is a great beater watch...
... we all need at least one worry-free watch and this seems to be a very good candidate. Thanks, Mike! Nice pics, too! Ken
I'm a little late to this thread...
But it is outstanding you have that go to piece. I'm sure many of us consider which watch we strap on when we are up to things like the pumpkin patch with the kids. It is nice to have a piece that works all the time, regardless of activity.
