I previously had a Boheme in Platinum without a stone on the clip, and after a while it started giving trouble so I parted with it. However, from the Montblanc line this is the only FP available in Rose Gold and I wanted something to match my EverRose Rolex DateJust.
This is also my first FP, or Montblanc for that matter in a broad (B) nib, as I’ve always stuck to medium nibs in the past. It writes beautifully!

After getting back from my extended week in Geneva, the very next morning we flew from Gatwick to EDI.
All the photos I took with my new (I’ve had this lens before though!) 24-70 ‘L’ f/2.8 Canon lens on my trusty EOS20D can be found in my gallery:
Here are a couple snaps I took…
The 1 o’clock cannon!
The view from our room at the Caledonian Hilton on Princess Street…
I also picked up a pack of minis to enjoy, and a nice companion I found in one of the castle bookshops…
Hope you enjoyed the snaps!

So what does one do, if someone hits your watch in the street?
Simple really, perform this!
Good luck wearing a Rolex in jail though 
I for one am happy that I’m fully insured, I’d be pi$$$$$$$ed for sure, but I’d be on my way to the RSC in a heartbeat to get it repaired…that is what insurance is for right?
