Dipping toe into precious metal

I really like both watches. They are actually pretty different when you have them side by side. I would say that the BB58 feels and looks a bit more refined than the P39. As much hate at the rivets get on the BB58 it actually rounds the sides of the bracelet and make it a tad more comfortable. But the P39 just looks awesome and the T-fit clasp is a welcome upgrade. The weight is light but not too light it feels like a toy. The P39 does seem a bit chunkier when looking down at it. It just feels taller then the 58. Both are great and you can't go wrong with either one or two or three...
And oh I never claimed to have any will power so yeah...
As another Monta owner I would second what @AllTheWatches is saying. At the price point they deserve the reputation that you see online. They are very impressive for a micro brand. One thing that for me really stands out about them is the feeling of the brushed finishing on the bracelet. It almost feels soft or silky. I've only ever experienced one other watch with a similar feeling bracelet and the was a GP Laureato. As for vs Tudor, Tudor has a leg up on the movement and also what I would say is the fine detail on the dial, but Monta is no slouch and their bracelet is by far better. The clasp could use a bit more refinement, but again at the price point I've not seen anyone better.
The utility of the 9F true GMT often goes under appreciated. I picked up the new SBGN027 recently. As someone who has a good number of automatic true GMTs I have found myself picking the 9F almost everyday now cause its already set and I don't really have to even think about it. Day light saving time switch was just a flick of the hour hand, didn't even have to hack the movement. If its going to be a watch in a larger rotation its ease of use makes it the first choice in my book.
