Blancpain FF Complete Calendar
Hi Guys ! Have been admiring this watch but couldn't get myself to pay retail to get it from an AD and these are tough to find preowned but a nice pleasant surprise on TRF. Very happy. Love the blue, animated moon and the month & date apertures. Some pics.

Lovely watch, but one I don't think I'd be happy wearing as it's over my 14mm limit in thickness.
Drop the chrono nonsense (who the hell ever uses a chronograph really?) and it'd definitely be "oh yes". |

A little thick for sure but I kinda like that. Def agree with the chrono never use it but like having the dials. |

Really like the blue pattern on the BPFFs, just a little too big for me.

It is a little beefy to say the least. The blue is to die for. |

Omg! You nail it. There is something special about Blancpain that I love. I always want to upgrade my blue FF chrono to this one but worry about the thickness. I believe around 17mm thickness? Congrats beautiful watch.

I made some enquiries with chrono24 dealers and drew a blank on physical pieces. I found one in Italy that was physical but read some poor reviews of the dealer so didn't proceed.
I am sure one will turn up soon enough! |

Sam, that is a cracking piece
I love the FF. It was the first watch, that when I saw the lume, I was stunned by the clarity, but ideally it would be the 40mm piece, which I believe was a limited edition.

Congrats. The FF are all pretty tough to find preowned... but that's the only way to buy one really. when you find one snatch it up! a great piece at preowned price.
