Introducing: The Montblanc 1858 Collection
Montblanc has released four new watches as a part of their new Montblanc 1858 Collection: a single-button chronograph in pink gold, and and three versions of a stainless-steel watch with subsidiary seconds.

Incoming, my first AP.

Brand new Patek 5980/1AR that was not winding.
Being actively on this forum, I have realised an alarming number of quality control issues with Patek.Two days ago as I was in Frankfurt, I went to visit my friend that works at a watch store (Bucherer).I saw for the first time the 5980/1AR - two tone. A beautiful shade of blue, and a stunning watch.I tried to wind it, and it would not work. My friend was quite embarrassed at having a piece in the store of that category in that price range that had such an issue.They got in the guy that had the expertise with PP, and he said we need to send it back to get it checked.As much as I love the brand, appreciate their history, and also own a 5711, I can't help but feel because of these things that have been happening much more often than in the past, that I am being forced to look else where when I am going to purchase my first complicated dress watch.I know it doesn't happen often, but I feel like it is being more frequent than in the past.I didnt make this thread in means to disrespect the

Even the green uniform I wore belonged to the Army. I wanted one thing I could call my own. I saved my money for a few months. It's hard to save money when your pay is $127.00 a month. I drank about $100.00 a month in that Great German Beer. One Day I got on a train and headed for Frankfort. Arriving at the Post Exchange, I headed for the watch section and asked to see an Omega Sea Master. the sales Lady informed me they were all out of Omegas, but she said We have this.She handed me a watch with no buttons, no knobs, no stop watch, no nothing. However, It was a very nice looking watch. I asked what it, as I had
