Mont Blanc watches? Opinions?

I just got back from the AD and I saw some Mont Blanc watches. I really like the look of the Timewalker and the Star.

What's the consensus folks? Yay or Nay?

Their pens are overpriced, so their watches MUST be amazing.

Not me... I think that they're in that "expensive-but-questionable" category. I have seen very few people to get excited about these watches.

Good watches,always powered wit reliable ETA movements.And their finish is awesome,so I would say that Mont Blanc are very good deal for their price.

I can't speak to how good they are mechanically. I can say that I find them very attractive and have given them some consideration.

If you want an Eta watch get one without the high price brand name. I have a 7751 that I paid $1500 for; automatic, day, date, month, chronograph and moon phase .

I agree.. they are very very cool watches. Pics definitely don't do them justice. They are so meticulously detailed, it's really a shocker when you first see them in person. I thought for the price they were pretty solid in terms of value.

I love the Timewalker GMT but it is too big on my wrist!

Very well-finished timepieces with attention to detail. You appreciate these watches more once up close because the pictures generally don't do them justice.
