  1. Well, I'm sure there are many candidates for that mod !
  2. From my side, I have just put a bit of loctite in the hole where the lever is attached, and it was enough to make it tight. Easy, quick fix.
  3. I NEED one !! And these are damn nice pictures !! Thx for sharing. May I ask where it came from ?
  4. There seems to be a Rolex Convention on this page... So today, I'm adopting the "St
  5. Did you notice that under certain lighting conditions, the lume looks white ? It definitely has great lume. Having tested all watches together, the brightest are : my Seiko (of course), my gen Tissot, followed by the Montblanc and then the SFSO.
  6. First wristshot of this beauty... I love subs ! @Lanikai : are you also a "smart sub" fan ? @Victoria That is a gorgeous shot ! @Subzero : the Dewitt is a peculiar watch, I don't know if it would fit with my style, but it's definitely a nice piece of watch. The design and colours make it unique and remarkable. Almost Art Deco ? @St
  7. It sure is ! The cyclop picture is "raw" : it hasn't been modified in any manner. Well, I am unable to say if an AR coating is single or double sided, although the fact that some reflection stays would be a clue. But if it is on the inside only, it means that dealers are lying again On the other hand, one should see the positive side (sic!) of the thing : no risk of scratching the AR and less fingerprints
  8. Here a shot with the cyclop. Well, I have no other watch with a cyclop, so I can't judge. Personally I would not be disturbed if it was absent. Any comment welcome. I tried a small video, don't know if it's convincing. It shows discrete light blue hue as well as a decent "non reflection", which is making the dial sharp enough.
  9. Thx :-) The AR is good, but again, nothing exceptionnal IMO. I was more convinced by the AR on the white Riviera XXL, although I did not see the usual blue hue. It does not make the watch less desirable. It really does look great. I'll try to film the AR, you'll see an obvious difference with K2222's one. Good for him ;-) I'll take other shots. But keep some exclusive one for the review I agree with you, the Meisterst
  10. Thx so much Victoria, a wristshot without your opinion on my newest rep is not a wristshot I can enjoy... Although the background looks very much like a Parisian brasserie, it is actually the window of the Montblanc watch factory in Le Locle (Switzerland). Nice little house...
  11. Arrived today. Sorry, no nice wristshot to propose, I need daylight for that... Fusion between a sub and a dressy watch. Montblanc invented the "smart sub"...
  12. Some few shots. The rest to come later.
  13. Well, relume could be a solution for the most demanding. And the pearl could also probably be fixed. I won't from my side, as it is a great watch out of the box. Bracelet was resized in a minute, a real pleasure. I have been such a victim of lame bracelets in some reps that I really feel happy everytime I don't scratch or break something while resizing a rep bracelet. BTW the bezel is tight too, no issue from this point of view. The crown is a screw-down type.
  14. Hi, so the thing arrived today... I thought it would be nice to make a quick update about how the Sports Chrono is, as my review might take some time to be finalized. I will add first pictures tonight. Well, the more I order reps, the more I'm surprised with the quality of what I get (of course, that's not a rule) : this Montblanc looks absolutely stunning from the finishing point of view. It wears quite small (so, big wrists think about what you're getting). But it is very thick. The AR is present, I was not amazed by its quality. My problem is that I have no comparison point. I have only one other rep with AR (Riviera XXL), and it's the white one. So this black dial is a kind of "my first one". It definitely does not look like K2222's AR for instance. Don't misunderstand me : it's nice and obviously emphasizes the dial, but the crystal does no disappear. (I hope to be able to compare soon, as I have decided to go for at least 2 AR soon.) The bezel is aligned ! (Allelujah !). And the lume is comparable with the quality of the SFSO's one : charges easily and quickly (daylight makes the job) and will glow strongly immediately. Out of four 7750 I own, this is the second one which has the date switching at 00:00 exactly. I don't know if there's a new 7750 or some improvements that were silently done. I'm mentionning this, as the 2 other I have need a long time to make the complete switch between 2 days. The engravings, especially on the side of the case make this MB look absolutely right. Otherwise, the first flaws I see are those mentionned by coolfire (I must say I would never have noticed them if he did not described them) : greenish lume, non recessed pearl. No idea about the datefont, I'm really not a specialist there. The bracelet is excellent too. It has pushpins (look like screws but are definitely pushpins). I keep the rest of my feelings for the review. After I cooled down.

    Tourbillon watches are amazing timepieces. I always stand full of admiration in front of these. The double Tourby is out of price for me, but the Chinese made the simple one affordable : I must definitely get one...
  16. My understanding is that : - same possibilities to inser a Swiss 7750 as with any Asian based 7750 : some modifications need to be done - on B&M' s website only the Panda ruber is correct. However I don't think that rep manufacturers would have made such a big mistake : I can't definitely confirm that there were not other versions (ours) previously. This deserves a hunt on the web.
  17. Mmm, worth being investigated. As the next step is to know if we can get the thing separately... And also if what was sold as ceramic for one arm and a leg was really ceramic...
  18. Hi Folks, I know that's not a rep, but I found the picture to be particularly well adapted as a wallpaper. So I'd like to share it here. I hope some will have a good use of it. Higher resolutions available if necessary.
  19. Actually I am more and more convinced that the black one is the right replica (look at my link). The white would be "nothing else" but the black, with the white colour. I did not find (yet ?) my white model on B&M' s website (as previously mentionned), except in the 40mm size, but with an other font for the hours and these flat subdials. Also, the Panda dial seems to only exist on rubber. Again, this is just a theory, as manufacturer's websites are not always up to date. That reminds me of golden reps which take the same cases as the SS versions : only the colour changes, not the details. This does not explain why you have flat subdials whereas I have the others on the very same model.
