Congratulations on your great acquisition! Blancpain truly makes spectacular watches, the finish on that FF is almost unrivaled.

I was actually about to pick up a BP a few months ago, but ended up with a Zenith instead. This makes me question my choice!

Cheers,

Charlie

My God have you seen that watch box? It's a box...which is in a case...which is in another box!

Congratulations my friend, that piece is chunky indeed but surely has a good sporty look and must be indestructible!

Thanks.

Just received a Brady sailcloth strap this morning... Will put my "newly acquired" Blancpain strap changing kit into a good use later. Will also need to have 1mm to be able to fit.

For now, it will stay on a carbon fibre effect strap with red stitching.

cool presentation with the box and an interesting looking watch. Great choice on the orange, looks better than the all black and more subtle than the yellow. Congrats!
