Take a look at the silver face, the font isn't as bold as the black one! on the the word "montblanc", subdials and the date wheel

Sorry I am new here and this is my first post. Does this mean the black faced version is closer to the original than the white one?

I am looking for a 7750 timewalker case. Any of you want to sell me your now outdated, full of tells, sunken date, third rate MB cheap to fund the 1:1 purchase of the 7753 version?

I am hoping someone here can answer my question. If I purchase this watch and the movt dies down the road, approximately how much would it cost for me to have someone swap the movt with a gen swiss 7753 (how much for the movet, and how much for the service)? Thanks so much.

The movement is anywhere between $50-100 depending on where you get it. Service depends on your local watchsmith as well -- probably about $100-200, but I have a guy down the street who does it for $75.

Where are you getting a gen Valjoux 7753 for <$200. Ofrei has them at $569: http://www.ofrei.com/page240.html

Over much deliberating on my part regarding which to buy, I'm sticking with the silver dial. I just can't get over the dial's effect under some light.

Pending an order with a TD for both watches. Shall be putting up my old PAM005Mv1, MB TW 7750, and possibly my recently acquired Ebel 1911 Discovery Panda quite soon. Can't wait till I get the new TW in my hands.

I would really like to see someone with this, I'm holding off just to see a couple. They are real purdy. Best of luck with it and please (pretty please) post pics.

Hmm, I might pick up the ceramic version as well. That looks fantastic. AR is just exactly what the TW reps really needed. However my funds are relatively limited after paying sead for a new TW & the new Breitling SO Abyss 44mm Chrono, but in due time.
