On PuristSPro, I have observed that we traditionally have been discussing the Villeret collection, as well as the Nicolas Rieussec collection with more passion. Perhaps that is the traditional preference of us PuristS, to appreciate fine watchmaking and c...  

I totally agree with you that the Star collection does have a very strong and distinctive DNA, and Montblanc should retain these features in the continuing future development of the me, the Star collection very well matches Monblanc's general image as a ...

Many of my friends prefer having a date too. It\'s quite useful especially when you need to know the date for filling up forms, tearing parking coupons etc Cheers Robin

Thanks for the great write-up Robin! I'm totally with you on the date window - either dump it, otherwise don't let it eat into the III. I'm not familiar with Montblanc watches - does the watch buckle feature the montblanc star in some way? J

Montblanc watch buckles generally don\'t feature the MB star. They only have the Montblanc label on the buckle which makes the buckle a lot more discreet. Cheers Robin
