Introducing: The Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Collection Twincounter Date
Yesterday we talked about the new Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Annual Calendar Chronograph, and today we are taking a look at the new Montblanc Chronométrie Collection Twincounter Date wristwatch – an equally elegant, well-made, and affordable watch to be officially released at SIHH in a few weeks.? 1 OF 2 Montblanc, as you may know, has had quite a major resurgence in recent years in their design and quality. They have released some pretty cool watches of late, including the 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter, the Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique Geosphères Vasco da Gama, and the Heritage Chronométrie Quantième Annual Calendar. As Ben mentioned yesterday, Montblanc CEO Jerome Lambert pulls a lot of his inspiration from his time at Jaeger LeCoultre and A. Lange & Söhne, and that is apparent in the design

2006 Submariner With Pre 2000 Dial
I'm considering buying a Z Series (2006) Blackface 16613 Submariner, but I'm hesitant because the original dial was replaced (reason unknown) with a pre 2000 dial ... price is about 7k... Comments welcome

Rolex Service sends a nice kit to send your watch
I called Rolex Service NY on Tuesday to request a kit to send my watch in for service. After a 5 minute hold, I just provided my mailing address. Today I received the kit.The box came in a Tyvek envelope:Inside was a box containing mailing supplies....brown tape, USPS Registered mail sticker and form, a return label with Rolex address pre-printed, and an instruction pamphlet:Underneath all the mailing supplies is a thick foam layer to place the watch being returned:The mailing instructions contain a form to fill out to return with the watch:The foam has a round section that separates from the base. The watch goes around the foam and then sits well protected inside the foam layer:The box has gummed flaps that are used to seal the box up once closed....nice touch:My watch is now sealed up and ready for registered mail service. I would say this is a much better setup than anything I would have put together to send in a watch for service.The kit took 3 days to get to me, cost me nothing
