thanks anthony and kong. i especially like the 'writing time' connection - did montblanc think that up or do you guys deserve some copywriting royalties?!
i'm also a fan of chronographs but i'd hate to see the day when everyone's making them (like tourbillions lately). in that light, i would like to see some innovation like the JLC duograph or if traditional, a datograph beater. sadly, this MB looks nice but perhaps as MTF suggest, would appeal most to a high end MB pen collector.
