Montblanc

Hi Dennis, I just saw the Star 4810 at the airport MB boutique yesterday

 

The guilloche pattern is a bit too flowery for my tastes but it is subtle enough on the wrist.



A few thoughts...

The Star 4810 will be a good everyday wear if you work in a shirt/tie environment.

The big date display looks nice in the catalog pictures because the photo shows  * 3 *, how would you feel if the display shows 3 * 4 instead? 

In the regular steel production, the automatic movement is not COSC certified.  Not that this matters to most PuristS but it is a distinction that needs to be made compared to the version made in precious metal case which does utilize a chronometer.

Knowing you, I think you would enjoy wearing it for a few months but I don't think it would be a "keeper" in your collection.

It's not a bad price (considering that you can negotiate with the AD and also get the exclusive MB/PuristSPro watchcase).  The alternative is to save for the  Rieussec smile

Happy Holidays, glad to see you here in the MB forum!

Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike!! Getting caught up on the excitement around Montblanc I ran across this Star 4810 in stainless steel, and it looks like quite a watch for the price! I found the pictures and review of the gold model here on the brand forum, and those are some gre...

....I'll have to keep my eye out for a MB dealer, and see if I can find one to examine. I do wear a suit to work everyday, so I'm looking for something just a little dressier than my Panerais, but in steel. My J*D and IWC Portugueser, both in rose gold, f... 

Difficult choice. It will be hard to get a chance to see these pieces side by side

but here is a virtual comparison From design point of view, I like the symmetry of the Rieussec more. The big date function of the Panomatic venue is nice. Both suffer from the addition of extaneous text on the dial. Still there is nothing that looks like...  

Called my local AD today.....

.....and a Rieussec is inbound for me to look at!!! I'll go examine it on Monday. Kind of odd though - I told him I thought there were two dial options: gray and silver, or all silver, and he told me that they only showed a gray dial available. Am I incor... 

There are two dial options

The mono-tone dial which is the one I reviewed And the two tone dial with the grey background Perhaps the two tone is what is selling...The two I've seen at the AD were both this variant Let us know what your impressions are Cheers, Mike...
