Mont Blanc Watches

[Don1]

What are peoples thoughts on them? We looking at the Nicholas Cage one.... pretty, but I'm not sure the price matches the substance?

They make pens as far as i'm concerned and they're just cashing in on the brand. For that sort of money i'd be investing in a "proper" watch brand.

Ditto.

My thoughts also - they are very pretty, but don't have the substance that price would dictate for me. Just wanted to know that I wasn't being too elitist for my own watch collection!

If you like the watch and that you may as well buy it. Unless you're really concerned about telling people it's a Mont Blanc or being judged for it. I probably wouldn't get one unless it was a drop in the ocean to me and I had a huge watch collection already although saying that I did see a nice one when I quickly browsed online.

But that's exactly it - it's not a drop in the ocean, and I do like value for money (for example my last purchase was a Ltd Edition Festina Tour de France - 100 euros for a chrono.

I like them, but I don't like them enough to spend that much on them. You can get much nicer watches (IMHO) for a lot less money.
