I´m out...
I quit with Montblanc, rejected the steel 1858 and just yesterday sold my Exotourbillon Vasco Da Gama.
Quality Problems and a slight arrogance because of the success of the steel Version. Since then MB thinks they are Patek?!?!? Then I better stick to the original.
And as I now saw the fourth LE, I see my decision validated!
Still love my Montblanc pens and can stil confirm that the Minerva movement is a beauty, but from a watch collector's view, MB doesn't work anymore. This is just mho of course...
1858 Chrono Bronze case salmon dial
As you know am owner of the first 1858 tachymetre: red gold black dial Loved the watch before it's official release and ordered it on spot at SIHH 2015 After that they released the steel version blue dial=amazing This year the bronze case Just saw the bro...
they killed the goose
should have opted for never known custumor's specials (one-offs) but not 2LE of bronze for me a real turn-off, especially for all the early adapters of the the Rg and steel version
Totally agree
4x100 is too much. 2x100 in bronze makes it worse. Perhaps this should have been ultimate 58x white metal platinum/titanium in salmon/white enamel/porcelain dial. Then I am in
Am i huge fan of Salmon dails . This dail looks great ,but looking at these pics i am not
sure if i like this combo 🤔 pref a steel case or wg with that dail imo
The 1858 LE floodgates are open...
more mixing and matching of metals and dial colors to come...IMO
glad that I didn't get the first bronzo...
way to big and no flexibility on the price either (I know we don't talk about prices here but to me it is a big elephant in the room...the worse conditions I got were always from MB) so not surprised they did it again and probably will not be the end of i...
With respect and admiration for all of you:
To heck (yes, heck!) with your resale value or whatever, I hope they Omega speedmaster this a thousand times until, at the 28th LE edition, they make one I can't resist. Seriously, as long as they keep with the great movement finishing, I'm happy that the...
Think all MB (Minerva owners) do not care about resale value
as IMO we know we might be happy if we ever sell this above half off the list price
Michael totally agree!
Fell in love with the Meisterstuck Heritage and 1858 RG @ SIHH and ordered it on the spot before it's official launch. I taught jerome lambert would make something of MB. But just as you disappointed in the brand and willing to sell my 1858 RG (Meisterstu...
IMO, they just have the basic business practice backwards.
You build a company from the bottom up, not the other way around. What I mean, you get the right people and policies in place, then launch great products. Great products with zero support behind them are just that - 0.
Can't agree more. I posted my opinion last night in instagram, exactly the same!
I love my bronze but Montblanc shall stop milking too much on the successful release, before it becomes another thousand pieces so called LE.
to be fair
Montblanc sold these pieces at a very decent price. For them to milk the movement sucesss after winning the GPHG Chrono award is not unexpected. I would have done the same from a business pt of view. But I did complain to my Montblanc rep here in Singapor...

Really looking forward to response from MB, but sure it will be none
but totally agree 10à% with you Michael
My gosh, at this point, they better NOT contact me.
That ship sailed months ago. No high ups reached out at all. I am gone, I never want anything to do with these guys.
