i was at a local jewlery place today and they are shutting down, 40% off the watch (5500 retail) and they said if its there in 2 weeks when they close they would give me it for 60-80%, if i can get it for around 2k im going to get it.I like Montblanc for what it is. It still has that stigma of a pen maker making watches but that is a good thing if you're a fan because that means you can buy them on a good discount. Then again on the flipside, resell is bad but if it is going to be a keeper them why not. I like their Timewalker line, just wished it was smaller but overall it's a nice and simple design. They have been doing big things lately too, they have a Perpetual Calendar coming with an unprecedented price, I believe it is about $12k-$13k? The cheapest one you could get before was from JLC and that cost around $20k and with the amount of discount you could get with Montblancs, that is going to be an amazing deal. Of course movement ins't in-house but for that price and function and that price, you will never find one like it. Looks are subjective so it's up to you.
That specific model you posted, the Homage to RS is a very nice watch. IIRC it is the one with the invisible hour lume, no? You only see the numerals in the dark? Or is it there a limited edition that has that? I believe it also has an in-house chrono movement and that is always a plus.
Anyways, it's a nice watch and definitely unique. Being limited and having an in-house might give it better resale value if that is up to consideration.
