Luis you are very resourceful!
Well done bro! Thanks for sharing 
Nicolas is right - this Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter Chronograph is impossible
to remove from the wrist ! Some shots I took this morning . The blue dial comes alive under sunlight and plays with light very well Goes very well with blue belt and shoes. The strap is a nice navy blue. Some shots indoors: And 2 side case profiles shots ...
Climate...
Robin, there\'s ALWAYS a heatwave in Singapore! ;-) It is gorgeous. Yum. (Quite thick, though.) How do you feel about the hands on the sub-registers? In pics they look a bit flat, like they were just stamped out and that was it. I\'m guessing that\'s just...
Actually E
Almost all my watches are in leather straps as they are the more classical and higher finished ones. They work well for office wear so no issues with the climate. Today is a weekend so I spent more time outdoors (those pics were taken in my church compoun...
I can try the mesh bracelet of the other 1858 watches
I think they are the same lug width
Blue rubber, no. Mesh, no, it would be too old looking, but what about...
A navy blue canvas??? Or a Nato, for the fun? I am more serious about the Canvas. Best, Nicolas
Now you have to find it... Robin will correct me if I am wrong, but the issue is that the strap, I THINK, is 21 mm between the lugs.
Which is not a common size. So, finding a canvas in not that easy, and even less easy in 21 mm. Best, Nicolas
Canvas will be cool
But I am worried the canvas strap too thin for the thicker chrono case Prob the current strap is one of the better option already For hot Singapore outdoors I don\'t mind trying the steel mesh bracelet for a vintage feel. Agree rubber won\'t work well. Th...
Naaah, look at that...
I think the thickness is correct. That would add some coolness to this superb chrono. Best, Nicolas ...
That's true. I am tempted to try now!
I trust your judgement my friend After hundreds of years, your judgement will be wise to follow Cheers Robin
I asked Montblanc if it would be possible to have some nice Canvas straps. Hope they will work on that, too.
But, in the meantime, this Canvas may well work. Too bad I never buy on line. Too bad. Best, Nicolas
Great in blue!
Getting some blue support back tomorrow (the LUC Chrono One returning from the spa and a blue strap for the LUC Sport) but not much explanation is needed to see why you find it hard to take the 1858 off your wrist I\'m personally not a fan of rubber strap...
Congrats in advance my dear friend!
Your LUC chrono one is a killer! Glad it will be Glad so soon. And a blue strap for the LUC sport is a great idea I probably will skip a rubber strap on second thoughts . Will stick to leather strap for indoor wear in Singapore I may try the mesh bracelet...
What impressive photos Robin. I suggest this strap in 21mm
proposed for a 5130P What do you think about it (found on mister chrono offer). Wear your MB in best of health (indoors). Cheers, Patrickh ...
Great suggestion Patrickh!
A very nice strap you have for your PP Love it! Cheers Robin
Thanks Robin, but
not mine. I have chosen a 5110R in fact. This combination seems nice and maybe better with a darker blue color, to match with your dial and more adapted to your climate. Cheers, Patrickh
1. Thank you! 2. How come...
nobody has showed this delicious profile before?!? I love it even more now! It has a vintage shape to go with the killer movement. YES, I am very excited!
