Exquisite steel
Basically an unboxing of the Ming 17.06 Monolith. We were both impressed with the quality of the piece itself, the travel pouch and those lugs. Been wearing it the past two days and my biggest concern buying a watch unseen has been the thickness of the piece. Glad to report it sits on the wrist well with a 10mm thickness.
A rare assortment of goodies!
I had an enjoyable rendezvous with a fellow purist today and we seemed to have a wide array of goodies between us! The Ming 17.06 monolith managed to hold its own in this esteemed company and we both agreed what amazing value it represented. From top to b...
This is why you would never catch me in a casino! :-)
I had no idea that you were into the 5711!!
Not in that company
While I can appreciate a nicely made quartz watch, the allure of a nicely made slim and right sized mechanical will always take top place. Especially one where there’s no weird artificial demand, speculative pricing and is not something you’ll see at the ...
You are on the right website SK!! :-)
In the words of Gordon Gekho in Wall Street, 'Greed is Good!'
Exquisite taste as always Nico
Quite interestingly the discreet yet classy MB triumphs over the Pateks!!
LOL. my mother often says she raised me well...
but it didnt stick. haha... BUT i do know beautiful watches....;.) LOL
Ok my modest diplomatic friend! :-)
Your good taste of watches will rub off the rest of us I hope!
All stunning pieces!
My vote would go to the Montblanc for the movement, value, and classic look!
Thanks for your response
I noticed that you said 'value' with regard to the MB. That's exactly what I thought when I bought it 13 days ago!
Thank you very much!
I had actually written a thread on it earlier during the week as I am most fortunate to acquire this watch.
Just looked it up!
A terrific find, and very much a connoisseur's piece! Really love that devil's tail on the index adjuster!
Ha! Ha!
Actually Patrick I don't blame you, they are all quite different but each of them has its own allure.
Nautilus it is....
the showstopper, heart breaker...not an iota of doubt in my mind ! Great line up sham !! Best, Mahesh.,
Actually four Mahesh! :-)
The 5711/1A, the Gronefeld Remontoire, the RW Smith Series 2 and this little beauty below, the 3878J which remains in my AD's safe which I hope to pay off monthly by 2028! ...
Ha! Ha! Ha!
That is a lovely way of phrasing it Mahesh. I am sure there will be others ion between. I think at this moment of time if I had to decide, I would go for a Voutilainen over a Rexhep despite the price difference.

Enjoy the Ming Joey!
I think we should make it a custom that every year, you buy a watch from me!
It is starting to turn out that way my friend
As long as the pieces are as excellent as the Daytona and Ming I am a happy repeat customer. It sits well for me.. maybe going to order a shorter strap. ...
I think I shall use your watch collection as my yardstick
ie always ensure that I have fewer watches than Joey! And as much as I enjoy and appreciate your custom, I really hope that the watches I end up buying stay with me! Incidentally, fancy buying my 5940G?!
Thank you so much for your reply!
I am quite taken that quite a number of purists seem to like this watch.
The 7234A!
Absolutely top watch, shame I couldn't get my hands on one... Hopefully I can rectify it down the line enjoy your goodies!
PM me if you are genuinely keen on one!
No, mine is not for sale but.....................
