Wristcheck 26 June


Cats

Recommended Posts

I saw Lanikai post pics of it on a wrist check thread a few years back and I bought one from Silix shortly thereafter. I think it was the sleeper rep of 2010. I've gotten more comments/compliments on this rep from normal everyday people than the rest of the reps that I own combined. Women in particular seem to love this watch.

 

It's not a super-rep because there are small deviations vs the gen, but it's the most gen-like rep I've ever had if that makes any sense. It blows my Omega PO v4 and Breitling SFSO out of the water. The fit and finish is incredible. The other bonus is that it's so obscure, no one has ever seen a real one in person, and the fit and finish is so good it would never occur to anyone that it wasn't a gen. I actually wear this watch to most trials and negotiations. It's my good luck charm.

 

I wrote a full review of it entitled "Montblanc Sport Chrono: Sino-German Underdog Extraordinaire" back in 2010:

Had missed that review must have been one of my periods away from the board! Thanks for directing me there.

Well, it may have been born in Germany, and originally manufactured in Switzerland by a South African owned firm, but by god it was the Chinese who brought it to the masses :)

 

BTW, if anyone ever finds this thing still for sale in some dust bin of our trusted dealers let me know. I might buy a couple for spares :)
