It's a "so what?" kind of feeling...

    Sorry, William, I should be here enabling and all that but, in this case, I just can't.
    Thanks C. It does the exact opposite for me. I almost pulled out a C.C & purchased right on the spot. But I don't charge watches.

    The price for that is too steep for me, not even close to the 1 in question mlcor about 1/2 that on Joma. I have handled that FC & it is a nice piece, unfortunately out of my price range @ the moment.

    Yes it has the star on the crown , but it's not contrasted on it

    It looks like it’s frowning. The day and month stand out as the “eyes” and the shape of the moon phase window is downturned. It makes me wonder why the watch is so sad. Cheer up—I know the moon phase is a complication that’s only useful to werewolves, but that’s no reason to be such a gloomy gus. I didn’t even notice the pointer date at first, and while I generally dislike them because they make the date complication, a watch’s dirty shame, an ever present dial feature, this is more discreet, so there’s something to be said for that. But, the dial color, well, I can’t say I’m a fan. At first glance it did look white, which I like, but in the bracelet phot, I could clearly see that it’s silver. I once read that white dials are harder to make, so when I see a silver dial on a dressy watch, I just feel like they’re playing it way too safe rather than committing to a white dial. That said, on the strap, by comparison, it really does look white, so it may not come up. I figure legibility will be an issue, so you have to make your peace with that. No seconds hand, either.....

    Basically, the frowning dial and no seconds hand would keep me from ever owning this watch. It is pretty nice, but I can’t live without a running seconds hand and I can’t unsee the frown. Montblanc makes a great pen and some really attractive dress watches, but this one doesn’t do it for me.

    Ahh hell ! I thought you would agree w/ me of all here on this 1. All moon-phase watches look like there frowning.Thanks for yr thoughts Raza

    Ah, well. Don't think I didn't catch the qualifier at the end.

    Ok Maestro - I might be way off base but this might be worth considering as an alternate.

    Welcome!

    The Junghans is very good value, and I like the fact that it has a seconds hand, too. However, it does have an acrylic crystal--this alone might not be an issue, but it has some sort of protective coating, which I think means you can't just clean up scratches using Polywatch.

    This FC is a nice piece. Lots of details and a solid design. Available at very friendly prices.

    I beg to differ... this one always puts a smile on MY face:

    Montblanc is getting serious. They are doing some pretty legit stuff. Check out this video:

    if the lack of running seconds is "just a small detail" to you, than i would say BUY IT! Remember how Panerai prices exploded? This brand might be next to do that........
