The Value Proposition: The Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Ultra Slim
The Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Collection was launched earlier this year at the SIHH, and it includes a number of watches that have attracted, for very good reasons, a great deal of attention, including the Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph Vasco da Gama, the Montblance Heritage Chronométrie Quantième Annual Vasco da Gama, and the very nicely done and very practical Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Dual Time. It also includes a watch whose merits are easy to miss at first glance, and which we finally had a chance to look at up close and personal recently here at HODINKEE.  That watch is the Heritage Chronométrie Ultra-Slim. 1 OF 6 The Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Ultra Slim is Montblanc’s entry in the world of watches that are ultra-thin, or extra-flat, or ultra-fine, or whatever you want to call them as we pointed out in a recent story on one of the finest of the ultra-fine

AP price drop!?!?
Someone just informed me AP just issued a price drop of 17%. Please tell me if this is true? Not sure if its on all models or just certain ones. I remember they did this a few years ago but I don't know if this is true that AP did this again??Any info would be great!

PAM 115 vs 219--A Few Questions
Good afternoon TRF, I posted in the Panerai section fairly recently as I decided I'm ready to buy one and would like a left-handed (Destro) model. While someone here recommended the PAM 123 which I looked up and instantly loved, I decided the $10k+ price tag is more than I'd like to spend, especially considering this will be my first. I have narrowed my search to a 219 and a 115. Both are around the same price (both used). I am partial to the 115 because of the second hand but have a few questions/reservations. Does anyone have any insight as to which model holds its value better? I know many people here say don't worry about the value just buy what you like but this is important to me so I hope y'all understand . Also, the 115 does not come with any accessories (box/straps etc). While there are mixed feelings on this when it comes to Rolex, I am wondering what the consensus is when it comes to Panerai? I get the sense it affects value more than Rolex but I'm really not sure. Unfortun
