They all look nice lol. 7750 dial was already fantastic but the AR makes the sunburst of the silver and the flat black stand out more.

Not sure dude, ot is off by 1 second per day
LOL, set it 6 mins fast and it will be spot on next new year.
Sure seems like a lot of work! Ha.
Watch should be shipped tomorrow. Now I just need to hurry up and wait:frusty:
The new Montblanc Timewalker is fantastic in person. Just received mine this morning, with both the leather strap and stainless bracelet. The inking on the rotor looks very clean and crisp in real life. Functionally - it's all good. The date change is crisp, the chrono buttons are very positive, the quality is spot-on. It's a little less blingy with the leather strap, and even with all the polished SS on the case, it's actually quite understated. A nice sophisticated yet unpretentious work watch for me.
Thank you Angus and crew!

That's fantastic. I'm gonna but on my short list...What is the quality of the leather band? buckle? Thanks!
The leather band seems sturdy with a soft interior lining. I actually like it better than the bracelet. The bracelet is really well built, but feels lighter than it looks. I like a heavy feel, if it's metal. The leather on the other hand feels great quality and construction. I haven't cut it open to see how it's built but it appears on par with better than average rep bands. After a day of wearing it took on the shape of my wrist nicely. The buckle is solid. It's got a cutout on the side which matches the shape of case's lugs, and like the case, it appears to be a blasted surface inside, and polished outside.
After wearing a few days, I'm just wondering that am I the only person who feel the bracelet clasp part hurts?

Am I the only one who feel the power reserve is short?

I didn't bother with the bracelet because butterfly clasp bracelets tend to be too small to fit me. Get a nice decent gator or croc strap to go with it.
But with regards to PR, I think it's on par with my other reps.

PR tends to be shorter on my dress watches. I noticed that I am less active and more relaxed when at the office and wearing a suit. Therefore the automatic winding system does not get activated as when I wear my other watches around the house and on the weekend.
I got mine last week, and it looks great. I do have a question for more experienced users: when I turn the crown in CW direction it feels like it's winding the watch but is doesn't stop...is this normal? As far as I know the crown is supposed to screw down and stop right?
Thank you
Thank you

I don't have mine here but i dont believe it is a screw down crown. FWIW I would not wind it too much with the crown.
This is not a screw down crown. You are actually activating the manual winding of your 7750 which does not stop when fully winded.
Read this user manual for the 7750. There are specific manoevres to operate your 7750. You can easily damage it it you dont respect these rules:

Thanks for the link, I have followed all of the 7750 rules religiously but I still have a question about this rep, since it is not a screw down crown, how does it seal at the crown to avoid water or any moisture to get into the movement?
O-Ring seal between stem and tube. Just like most of the watches.
You may want to apply silicone lube to this seal and the back cover one to increase the water tightness.
As I get to know my new rep, I noticed a few small circles on the crystal, kind of look like a target for shooting practice, these are only visible when the light hits the crystal in a certain angle and are impossible to catch it on camera but are noticeable under the sunlight...has anyone seem something like this before?
Hi Santana,
Hi, I have seen the crystal circles issue you are experiencing On your timewalker. About a year ago I got an explorer 1 and it had exactly what you describe and darned if I could easily photograph it. I had to light it at an angle with a high intensity light. Looks like concentric circles as a form a glare. I wound up selling the watch and replaced it with a new one and no issue. My guess is that the crystal is flawed in much the same way as improperly ground glass in old photographic lenses often had unusual glare artifacts
