Montblanc Timewalker, pics n stuff

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.

Cheers

Stephane

gonna post pics of the MB TW I received.. initial impressions are... the dial is huge

:o

seriously.. big... big big big dial... not what i expected :X maybe even too big :lol:

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 <_<

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 :p

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

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

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!

lol order mine!!! :lol:

kiddin, jus a little :X i'm breaking one of my major rules (buy only what you will wear and never for "display" purposes only) and the main reason why i've shut down spending for the year -.- my thing is basically.. enjoy the watches, i'm not a 'collector' who'll throw them in a display case and just have it sit there.. i actually want to enjoy wearing my watches

my collection stood at two which got awesome wrist-time... 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 :p

and thanks about RH3.. gonna keep my eye on the lookout when I see that movie, I heard it's a good movie :D

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 ^_^

I actually prefer the classic simple minimalistic design of the non-chrono TW :p

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 :D
