P.S. And an example
Apr 25, 2013,15:11 PM
Here is at least one photo example which does not require me to draw circles and make arrows on jpg's:
-Please look carefully at the bridge in the centre at around 5 o'clock. This is an enlargement from your own picture. The finisher has removed so much material suddenly that the chaton has almost been touched;
-The 'bowl' of the charon interior edges show drill 'chatter' (vertical lines) and has not been finished and polished;
-In the middle of the lever on the right and below of this wheel the anglage becomes steep suddenly and then returns to the previous inclination;
I can find many more of these issues in your picture. I have nothing to gain or prove here, I am just pointing out what I see in what someone tells me is a finely finished movement.
(And I mean here a classically finished type of watch, not a Rolex, which does not claim to use all these types of techniques...)
All I am getting at is that a classically finished timepiece that claims to be made in a traditional manner, should conform to the quality model of said traditional timepieces.
Perhaps other Montblancs are different; however this one is as you see it here.
Kind regards,
Theodore
