2 Robins on MB forum and both from Singapore!
Glad to see you on the MB forum too Robin.
I still remember your first post in the rolex forum when you shared your lovely rolex submariner! Time flies.
Hope you are enjoying the other forums here too.
Great choices on Montblanc watches btw!
Cheers
Robin (the older one haha)
A Montblanc holiday contest
It's the season of giving! So the question is: "If you could gift a Montblanc watch, which one would it be?" The rules are simple. To enter you only need to respond to this post. In the response you must include 3 photos. One photo should be the Star/Spor...
I am banned but I start off the contest
I already have the special loupe given to PuristS at our 2nd International Gathering Of The Tribes (IGOTT-2). I do not qualify for the contest but I am happy to start off the contest with my photos. I cheat to call this a Montblanc Sports watch ;) The one...
Ha! Perhaps MB will come up with an -S version
of the BiFrequence..then it will be a sports watch! Thanks for being first one at bat! Best, Mike
You and I have very similar tastes!
Good taste of course! But we already knew that :-) Thanks for entering and good luck. Cheers, Mike
me me me~
seasons greetings all, here r my picks the star with a star shape design engine at the center is simply brilliant! ya i know its only watch, but i wouldn't mind it in tantalum or titanium:p i said it b4 & i ll say it again, the "little green man" case...
Usually in the nude is the way to go
Seeing and appreciating all the perfections and imperfections :p The bicylindrique is so cool...coupled with the Mysterieuse dial...if I could only be gifted with one of those! Good luck Ed and thanks for your picks Happy Holidays, Mike
Top 3 ！
Star Elegence and undoubted choice ! Love that "stitchless" strap ! The new jumping hour .... an evolution of a GREAT watch ! In Rose GOLD , pls ! What I really need the loupe for is this !!! (Watches were on display in Beijing last week) Seeing one is a ...
you are very classical in your choices
A simple and thin star classic, a regulateur dialed "Rising Hours" Rieussec, and the Villeret historical dialed monopusher. I agree the Grande Feu dial and finishing on the Villeret would look so good under a lighted 10X loupe :-) Best, Mike
My ideal Christmas gifts!
As Mike said, no words... just pictures I took. The pics do better than my words anyway. Another reason for me to visit the MB flagship boutique in Mandarin Gallery Singapore today. :) MB Star Worldtime MB Timewalker Twinfly MB Villeret Metaphormosis ...
WOW! They have a working Metamorphosis at the boutique!
Perhaps one of these days, our kids can pitch in and buy us a Villeret Timewriter of our choice for all the hard work we do bringing them up :-) Let's see a Timewriter project every 2-3 years...they would be on Timewriter 15 by then! I like your other cho...
Yes, Metamorphosis is in Singapore already...
and so is the Nicolas Rieussec Rising hour! I like your idea of our children buying timepieces for us... :) But I will have to wait another 20 years for that! :P Merry Christmas to you too Mike! cheers robin ...
Hinestly I'm very surprised
I was expecting one completely different Villeret in input no 3 ;) Cheers D
Yes but remember...the contest is which what you would GIVE not receive
It would appear that Robin is much more generous to others than to himself! Great holiday spirit... Mike
The metaphormosis is a great choice for Christmas becos....
It is great value! 2 Villerets in 1 for the price of a higher end Villeret! That was what MTF told me when we met in HK Watches and Wonders at the MB Booth. I fully agree with him :D cheers robin
Ha! That MTF, he is always so value oriented
And always right of course :-) The first Purist to recognize the "purity" of Cartier and Chopard when all of us would have turned away given the "jewelry focus" of these two brands. Best, Mike
Hehe... were you looking for...
this Damjan? I won't gift my beloved Villeret chrono away! :) cheers robin ...
Hope dies last
Yes I was looking forward to this under my Xmas tree :) Sincerely Damjan
Of course these models are not the best there are a lot of beautiful models of Montblanc
I wanted to clarify the reason for choosing these models, but I like abide by the terms Contest I'm just delighted to be involved in the competition Thank you very match WTA ...
Please feel free to explain your choices...
You've chosen extremely nice models. I'd like to hear about why those choices were made! Thanks for entering and good luck Mike
The reasons for those choices..
Thank you for letting me explain the reasons :) The first watch has personally enticed me so I would have give that someone the same model that I would personally liked. For those other 2 watches, I have chosen simple choices because any chronograph or co...
Here are my choices...
This Star would be an elegant and great start of a collection... I have been obsessed with this model, I hope to see it in the metal one day. And what can I say, sheer artistry. All photos by foversta of course! ...
Since the Star WorldTimer and Timewalker share the same function
Is it safe to assume you like the aesthetics of the Timewalker better? Good luck and thanks for participating, Mike
Now those are probably the same choices I would make.
I've already gifted a Sport DLC to my nephew graduating from high school Maybe when he graduates from college, the Rieussec will be next. Thanks for your entries, Mike
Lucky guy!
The Sport DLC looks really different from others, with the blacken out bezel. Rieussec is a neat choice too, and again, with an unorthodox layout, it is very unique. Your nephew is a lucky man! Regards, Robin
