Montblanc 1858 Watch Collection
Watches released in celebration of an anniversary provide an excellent excuse to turn our minds to the past and gratuitously borrow?design cues from a brand's history. How close to the original the reinterpretation ends up being?varies from brand to brand, and model to model. In the case of the Montblanc 1858 Collection, the Swiss brand producing fine watches out of Le Locle for generations, the 157th birthday of the company has been commemorated with a dollop of classical verve. The release of the?Montblanc 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter Limited Edition, the Montblanc?1858 Small Second Limited Edition, and?the Montblanc?1858 Manual Small Second introduces?three new models that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the current collection, and give consumers the opportunity to invest in something a little more traditionally styled.Montblanc have done a very nice job of updating a classic chronograph design of theirs from the 1930s. The mono-pusher chronograph is large, features a superbly weight

Incoming - SARB017 arrival
I received this last week and have just now gotten around to snapping a few pics and after wearing it for a day or two this weekend. First off, pictures do not do this watch justice. The face is really beautiful in person and looks great on the wrist. It has a sportier look to it than my SARB035, as such it goes well jeans a nice shirt to jeans and a t-shirt. You can look up the stats online if you wish so I won't re-hash here. The strap does look nice, but the quality is sub-par in my opinion. This will be the first change I make to a more suitable high quality dark leather strap. The watch reads easily with the great snowflake(?) hands in white on the green and gold dial. Very unique look. The compass around the inside bezel is subtle enough, though I am a little confused on how one would use it?Lum is great and t looks smashing on the wrist, I love this watch A few quick pics, this dial is seriously difficult to photograph properly but I will try to get some proper shots up here soo

Factoid of the Day - 1/19/08
A wrist watch with computer ¡®UC 2100¡¯ was developed by SEIKO in 1984. You could type on the keyboard, using a small screen of the watch as a monitor.____________This was awesome stuff back in the day.

Buying used. Please advise
For some strange reason, I got this urge to get Panerai watch and after one visit to local AD, it was over- I am hooked to Panerai.So .. I have chance to get used PAM557 at a reasonable price according to Chrono24 / eBay pricing. The seller is providing box, papers, and sales receipts. The watch is out of warranty, but the seller is the original owner and bought the watch from a local AD. Seller provided bunch of pics, I carefully inspected the serial numbers on the case and movement and compared to what's on paper and they match. Seller is willing to deal on Paypal. Is there anything else I should look out for?Thanks.

Three days in...
And my first incoming of 2018 is here...Happy New Year TRF! Last week I made an appointment to have my last purchase appraised and needless to say that I felt like a kid in a candy store with a number of cases filled with watches. I spotted something that I liked, asked to try it on and was amazed since I had never seen one in person before. I wasn't planning on purchasing another watch anytime soon since I wanted to get my first PM Rolex later this year. Spent a week thinking about the watch, debating whether to get it or not. I called up earlier today to see if it was still available and it was..so here it is..My 5 digit trifecta...A special thank you to TRF's biggest enabler PLNYC
