It was the first thing that I did actually
It is the only watch to evoke the same type of passion within me as Panerai did.
As soon as I saw it, I retrieved my old Panerai strap box and started pairing.
To be faithful to its heritage, I kept it on a bomber jacket. Looked awesome (except for the fingerprint on the crystal 
)
cheers, Mike
On The Wrist Review-- The Timewalker Pilot chronograph
Montblanc Timewalker Pilot Chronograph Review by Michael Ting © October 2009 I believe most enthusiasts share similar purchasing habits. One of these is the pursuit of the “Grail watch”. For some of us the grail represents a timepiece out of our current f...
Thanks for the review Mike
I never realised the Montblanc was inspired by the Hanhart/Tutima fliegerchronographs. Did you consider putting it on a strap? - SJX

It looks great on the strap, Mike!
I'm glad you've found a watch that works for you as a daily wearer that can be sporty or dressed up. Looking at this piece, I don't immediately make the Flieger connection, and I think that has to do with the modernized numerals and hands. On a sidenote, ...
Thanks, esp for the strap notion
Tried on a couple of Timewalker's today, but was not overly enthusiastic for the stock leaher. The casing is really nice, the pan, lugs and dial are most appealing. Would have liked to see a version with blued "poiners" thogh ... Does this imply it will p...
Hi Olav, good to see you posting here
Yes the Timewalker's strap should be changed. I assume you wanted some blued steel hands? I am sure that will be a variant..perhpas a special edition for a boutique sometime. I don't know if MB has a special deployant buckle for their timewalker series. I...
Thanks for the review Mike!
My favorite features of the TimeWalker series are the comfort of the metal bracelet and the clean, simple, highly legible modern numerals on the dial. I'm also glad to see that MB used a black background date disc to blend the date into the dial. Cheers, ...
Thanks Mike
I must admit to being in the "i don't like the chopped 6" camp. It looks to be a very nice watch, but why in the world would you add a date to a 7750, which already has a quickset date, that requires a pusher? I just don't understand that one... A
I don't know but I will ask for us. I actually do not like the date quick set
feature on my base v7750s. Depending on the brand, when I pull the crown out the winding stem sometimes feels so flimsy that I think I put too much wear and tear on this part of the movement if too many functions are corrected via this part. Best, Mike
Interesting...
I've never noticed that about the date adjust mechanism of the 7750, but I don't actually own any...just play with them A

Thanks Mike. The accuracy of this watch falls within the allowable range of QF standard. Perhaps, it is right time for MB to send it for QF test and become No.3 brand to acquire the recognition on its Voljoux movement. Regards Ling
Surprising and not sure if it is reproducible...
Hi Ling, of course my sample size is only 1 ! I was quite surprised when the result screen summarized the testing result. I repeated the test a few times with similar findings. I even recalibrated the timing machine. What would be impressive is if the new...
