Just got this in via Blancpain Vegas. Great service and overnight shipping. Could not be happier.

And the watch is pretty bad ass. More thoughts to come but really happy. Even better than I expected.

Congrats, I really love that one! The strap looks great, but I would also recommend the BC vintage rubber for this case. The flared ends give the watch a bit more presence while still being ultra comfortable.

Good idea - that’s a good look! The included strap is a nice tropic style strap that is a stretchy rubber. It’s really comfortable.

Thanks all! As Toxic said, she’s a pretty bitch. I took a risk on this never seeing one beforehand. Glad I did. It’s a stunner - really impressed.

Man, we don't see these every day Chris ! :salute: ..Incredible watch !

Actually is one of those watches where it's a collection in itself, or one of
those watches that you, or we would pick to take to that desert island. :grin:
It honestly just does everything right from the ultra cool crystal, hands,
and markers, to marvel of a movement.

Hope this gets a ton of wrist time. Enjoy Chris ! ..HUGE congrats here !!!

I’ll be in Vegas at Caesar’s for a week in early November. If anyone needs me to drool over some watch for them while I’m there, just let me know.

As an aside, @ Rob, where did you find that BC? I’ve been looking for one of those for my Squale 50 Atmos.

Thank you! I am one of the minority who actually like the scent of vanilla.
