Bought this so many years ago. It came with a black strap, and I've only ever really worn it when the dress code has been black tie. Getting it out again reminded me how much I love it, so tried it with a spare brown strap that I have that isn't quite the right size.

I've decided it looks good on the brown strap so I've ordered one the right size, and this might get some more wear!

That's very nice! Can I ask, what are peoples opinion in general on Montblanc watches? Are they nicely finished?
Been looking at these on and off for a month or 2.

Don’t give me ideas. Please. I’m bad enough.

Ok, the width is correct now, but the black metalwork is a bit cr@p (£10) so will try again lol. Bracelet is nice, no question, but some days I just want a strap!

Can you get a nato with titanium metalwork? Can't say I've ever seen/noticed one but they must exist.

I can vouch for this one to be very smooth and well finished.

I’m looking for a bronze finish too. Can’t find one at all.

Really miss mine ...... but it's release funded my HYT

Had her for a good while now, still shiny.

Will look at strap tailor again for NATO, had a nice single pass from him, although not a huge fan of single pass practically, the material was top notch. This is NOT that strap lol

I bought my wife a Motblanc Boheme for our 10 year (actually two of them but one was stolen before I got to give it to her!). It feels like a very high quality object to me with really nice finishing - lovely blue on the hands and the patterned dial is super crisp. Finding the date adjust detente is a little fiddly but it's only 30mm so it's a tiny thing and the fault could be my sausage fingers.

Thanks, the bloody Tudor is 21mm lug width, which restricts choice

Recently purchased this 1966 Seamaster 300 (my birth year) on a replica vintage Tropic rubber strap, planned to save it for special occasions but I just cant take if off at the moment.

I concur. Very high quality in the finish, feel and detail. That Star also has a clear back so the beautiful movement is visible. On the subject of movement, it has a really distinct feeling to it, and I absolutely love that watch.

I think Montblanc watches offer exceptional value for money. Understated class. I also have a beautiful Montblanc Heritage which I bought because the Moon Complication leapt out at me and then when I started looking up close there were just so many other little details that I love (like the date hand end that moves around the outside of the dial being red). It's wonderfully thin and lightweight that its supremely comfortable to wear.

Just talking about it, I think I am going to bring it out and pop it into the watch box. I love that watch. I'll post a photo when I next have it on.

Not my photo, but it's one of these. Absolutely love it!

Very nice bezel on that Sinn

Still can't figure out where they put the battery on this.

Fabulous!

Pelagos on Crafter Blue strap. Not a perfect match to the Tudor blue But close enough. I prefer it with the curved ends over the factory rubber strap that uses end links.

Have a good weekend!
