Lookin for a good Mont Blanc

[jojo8989 0]

Hey Guys,

Got out of the watch game for a lack of funds but now im back in a bit and looking for what i was seeking before... A white dial timewalker, I think it makes a really classy watch, really understated. Can anyone vouch for them? I would like to get one as close to the original as possible, i really like these but im trying to decide 7750 or 21j...

The more I look at that first link the more I seem to not mind saving 200 bucks and going with a 21j...

Hmm. Ah so back on track, can anyone vouch for the quality of mont blancs?

Ask Mary, Robert or Lay.

Stay away from crap.

There are quite a few good and inexpensive watches about, but the lower the price the more compromises you will have to live with. I think that the two you have identified seem good value for money.

 

Pix worte a positive review of the Quartz version mentioned above on RWI.

mbjoer, i saw that review and it really sparked my interest but i realized every time i buy a cheaper version i am usuaally disappointed..... i am looking at this but im trying to figure out how recessed the date is... it looks really bad. I actually may go with a cheaper version because the date windows is alot less recessed.

A lot of dealers have cheaper movements in the 7750 quality case, so thoughts..... 21j or quartz?

If you buy a cheapie chrono go with the quartz

At least you will have the chronofunktions then

21J is fake chrono and not working

This one says working chrono. I Have no prob with quartz but id rather have a sweeping hand

Belive-me, it´s not working chrono!

I love the Timewalker, wears beautiful!

 

I have this one with 21j but mine have black dial. The chrono dials are day of the week at 9, 24 hour at 6 and day of the month at 3.

You can ajust the 2 days of the month ( chrono dial at 3 and dateweel ) by the chrono push buttons and ajust the week day by a pusher at 50.

 

Cheers!

As I said before...21J is not a chrono movement!

Quartz tick's but has the chrono funktion.

If you want the sweeping hands you have to pay for the 7750.

I agree with Akira, my timewalker 21j is dead and i want to buy the quartz version of it, it´s a

way more reliabe! As long as you can buy the quartz version with the 7750's case i would't think twice,

it's about 100$ cheaper and 100 times more reliable.

 

Cheers!!!

No, it doesn't. It says the subdials do date/month/military time. I.e. they move with the pushers, but do not work like the gen.

 

You need quartz (no sweep) or an A7750 (much more expensive) for working chronos... Try a better dealer such as ReplicaMake, Timesshop or WatchInternational. You've got a better chance of finding something decent that way.

I just ordered a MB from Mary...for 88 bucks, I don't think you can go wrong...Mary's not known for selling crap!

I didn't worry about crono...just got the Star 4810...elegant and clean.

Timeshops has the same for $88, 7750 case w/ quartz in black. Ive been waiting on them to write me back to see if they have the same in white. Everyone sold me on quartz and the reviews on it have been amazing
