Stephane Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hi, I have described my experience in my review (see in my signature). Here is what I found: - Bracelet very confusing and hard to size unless you realise it's pins and not screws. Besides that there are no arrows. Take a pin out: push it out from the non screw designed side and pull it out with your fingers. Take a pin back in: push from the screw design side and push it back in with ........your finger or nail! This is not very cool as I think it's probably easy to loose one or more pins.

TomRiddle Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 thanks Stephane, gonna go check it out later i was for sure 100% it was screws last night, LOL shows how off i was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRiddle Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 gonna post pics of the MB TW I received.. initial impressions are... the dial is huge seriously.. big... big big big dial... not what i expected :X maybe even too big anyhows i'll post wrist shots later... it's definitely an interesting piece, but the size of the dial face caught me offguard, didn't realize it'd be that big full on impressions after a few days.. gotta let the novelty wear off and get it some wrist-time.. see how it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero1 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 The Timewalkers are designed for Mont Blanc by Panerai. Good looking watch, and you are right, huge dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRiddle Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) The Timewalkers are designed for Mont Blanc by Panerai. Good looking watch, and you are right, huge dial. I can see why.. it does have that paneraish quality to it (big big dial face that's pretty plain) i mean, it's not a bad watch by any means.. i was just surprised by it like i said... i usually let the novelty wear off and get it some wrist time before i post my impressions ^^ but right away the dial took me by surprise (great watch tho!) ps: thanks for the tidbit about panerai designing it for MB ^^ nice little info that explains the design.. learn somethin new everyday Edited August 15, 2007 by TomRiddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ximenes Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 The timewalker is one of my favs. to wear. It gets more than its fair share of attention too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRiddle Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 just want to give a big thank you to Stephane, you're right it is push pins, LOL ^^ sizing was a breeze once you realize it ain't tiny screws.. now if only my FM Conq was that easy... i just resized both of them and considering i have no vice or anything, that Conq took me out for a whoopin, lol but got it resized as well ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azerbyjam Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I saw Rush Hour 3 tonight at the cinema and I'm pretty sure Chris Tucker was wearing something that looked very similar to the Timewalker... mines on order, those pics look fabulous!

UPO and HBB but I wanted an all-ss watch.. that's where the timewalker comes in, but a twist of fate landed me a fm 2892 conq.. and both watches arrived at the same time woe is me.. woe is me.. 1 wrist... too many watches, lol and thanks about RH3.. gonna keep my eye on the lookout when I see that movie, I heard it's a good movie ps: and Chris Tucker would *SO* wear a MB TW.. it's got bling and it's in your face and makes people go, "Woah" without being overboard with bling.. totally him so I'm not surprised, man got style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Not a surprise that the design team from panerai is responsible for the creation of the timewalker... Both companies are part of the Richemont Group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hi Tom & All, I'm happy it finaly ended on your wrist. You made beautiful pics by the way !!! Now the only thing you miss is the chrono version And, as I'm not wearing mine at all, never, never...feel free to buy it Cheers Enjoy, Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the only thing you miss is the chrono version And, as I'm not wearing mine at all, never, never...feel free to buy it Cheers Enjoy, Stephane I actually prefer the classic simple minimalistic design of the non-chrono TW I think this watch is getting this injustice of no-wrist time because it had the misfortune of going up against my HBB and UPO along with being delivered literally at the same time as my FM Conq 2892.. I've only worn this TW once, lol.. then again I haven't even worn the Conq ^^ it's kinda small on the wrist.. I think I've gotten used to the HBB/UPO size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
