Agreed on the case, less on the movement finishing. Less spectacular than the MB Villeret Chronographs which are true pieces of sculptural art, but not less well finished, in my opinion.
Got to try on some fun pieces on vacation
I was surprised to see this one, especially because limitation of 18 and not at a boutique. I love this watch. It’s slightly big and thick, but the aventurine blue dial and that beautiful tourbillon. Even the blue strap is just tops. Sorry for the rush ph...
The UN really looks great on your wrist.
The MB is not a small watch, needs the size to hold large movement but again, you carry it well. Just one observation, the metal piece that separates the time sub dial and the tourby, is that really necessary?
I agree on the MB
That metal piece with the script - remove it! Otherwise that watch is incredible. Having villeret pieces I adore the finishing. The UN does seem to fit for size on the wrist. Maybe smaller feeling because no crown. Black and RG does stand out. I wish it w...
May I ask which country did you see the MB at?!
I ask as I had sold mine last year at an auction. It was number one. Lovely watch but it had to be returned twice to Villeret in my first six months of ownership so I decided to sell it.
Sorry to hear of your problems !
This watch was at an AD in Florida USA. I thought it was odd that they would even have one as they were and AD and not a boutique. He did say he just sold an unveiled secret so maybe those do make it out from the boutiques. Now that I was thinking about i...
Ah ok
I was wondering where my watch finally ended up at so I hope it has gone to a collector rather than to a shop. These watches even though they were produced in small numbers never sold well. I was surprised that three years after its launch, I was able to ...
Thank you for the report Kevin!
The Montblanc tourbillon is mesmerizing in action, but beyond the size the case feels dated and unrefined. Also the finishing on the back side doesn't compare favorably to earlier pices like your chronograph ... Could be great with some updates, alas unli...
I almost bought this gorgeous MB in 2022…
but at the end decided for the GP Tourbillon Three Bridges Bucherer Blue. Here me my thread from 4 years ago. https://www.watchprosite.com/montblanc/lasting-impression-and-needing-your-advice--a-watch-that-almost-knocked-me-off-my-chair--/1006.1483001.141...
I remember you going back and forth.
The GP or the Mb both have their charms. Can’t go wrong either way 🍻
Thanks for sharing your impressions 👌🏻👍🏻
Definitely nice to hear on some pieces that are not that often seen here 👍🏻🙏🏻
Fun to try stuff on
And figure out a next watch. Out of these three the freak was the one that works best. I do think w and w needs to be seen before deciding !
