Montblanc Grand Tourbillon Heures Mysterieuses Is Like A Watch In A Tuxedo
In Villeret Montblanc is feeling very proud of itself. It has gone from making pens, to being a preeminent watch maker. The recent acquisition of popular family owned (previously) Minerva gained Montblanc that ability to tout in-house movements. So now their watches look nice and have lots of bragging rights. While I enjoy some Montblanc watch designs more than others, I can't argue that any of their recent releases are anything less than elegant and well conceived.In celebration of Minerva turning 150 years old, we have the Montblanc Grand Tourbillon Heures Mysterieuses (that is the most uncomfortable way of writing mysterious if English is your native tongue!).

Help! Need help on deciding my one and only Rolex
Hi All,I currently own a PAM 372, 422 and a Tudor Heratige Black Bay Bronze. I want to get ONE Rolex to wear in rotation with my other pieces. I would most likely be replacing one of the Panerai's with a Rolex as both the 372 and 422 are so similar and the same size. I need some input on what you all think. The Rolex's that I'm considering are-Submariner Date (new)Sea Dweller 126600 (new)Or maybe a GMTII (also new but just the SS version-not BLNR)Thank you all in advance!
