Hahah cheers
Let us know of your impressions once you've had a few days with the watch :)
Couldn’t really say, looks like the Bond St. Boutique in your pics going by the carpet :p
It would’ve been sold up via an AD up here if I was buying it (once they’ve re-opened)
Blancpain wanted to know if I still purchasing it or else it would be allocated to another store.... past that its speculation ha ha
Big fan of that but it's a lot of money.
If anyone is after one of these, I know a dealer getting one next week but it’s rrp, he doesn’t discount limited editions.
Cheers
as suspected by Tony, I made the leap. It's sitting behind me in my office awaiting to be unwrapped. The pain of having to sell the family jewels will no doubt fade in time....
PS - seems the shop were already up to speed on my postings when I contacted them today....eh Mike?
right...time to go and be my true "Gollum" self....
iphone photo with way too much contrast and burn out along with poor colour rendition. Will get to take proper pics with my SLR just as soon as I find a suitable location.
thoughts so far;
love it (phew)
strap is short for my 7 2/16 inch/18.2cm wrist
Wears perfectly though
So lovely, congratulations. Blancpain always out of range for me costwise, but they produce some stunning pieces for sure.

so as promised, I have taken a few photos...a little bit better this time but still much room for improvement as I realise there is lots of dust and sticker residue, particularly on the caseback.

and finally, with one of its stable mates; my late father's 1946 Longines 13ZN Flyback Chrono - one of the very first Flybacks

Very nice indeed. I think painting the hands white before applying the Luminova makes all the difference. I don't think it would look so good with steel or WG hands.
@Kash....
you're killing me!!!
can't believe you're selling one of these two weeks after I bought mine.....and for less than I paid...
I am a shattered man.
Think you and I need to be on speed dial in future....
Edit: I was Kash-Rich.....
I'll get my coat.....again....

No, you're not going mad - it doesn't. The dial at the 9 position has been replaced with a 12hr counter. It does bring up the question which I have been pondering: Can one run the chrono all the time on this movement without issue? I know that there are various schools of thought on this, but theoretically this movement (vertical clutch column wheel) should not have an issue with this. Perhaps I should enquire of BP?
