Stepped into the world of Blancpain today...Incoming...
So as my collecting progresses I find myself more infatuated with non-mainstream brands. I've tired of Rolex - I recently told my AD that I was 'Rolex'd out'. Not sure I need or want another Oyster Bracelet at this point.
I do want a Patek and my AD knows of my interest. There are currently two on my radar but it will be some time before they come in. I've been really enjoying my Breguet Tradition recently - it's literally art on my wrist - watchmaking on a different level. This led me to Blancpain... no it's not a diver. Incoming - pics to follow later today.

Another Blancpain fanboy.
If it is not a diver, you are getting the Air Command? |
