Yes, definitely BP fan here...my old Leman...

I need a LeMan in my life:

Unfortunately, I went and got a Tudor I've been lusting after for 2 years:

I wouldn't call that an unfortunate acquisition. 馃グ I've always drooled over black & red chronographs. 馃憤

Lol, didn't pick up on the possible entendre before I posted Dennis. 馃榿

Yes, I really do love it to be honest. Just meant it's not in the same class as that Leman Flyback.

I just added another Blancpain. This time a triple calendar. BP watches are really beautiful in my opinion.

Have a Fifty Fathoms on the way. New to the brand, never liked dive watches in general until I learned about Blancpain's history and the FF. Was very pleasantly surprised by how great it looked in person and knew I had to have one.

This post reminds me of how much I miss my FF. The only watch I regret selling. At 45mm it is pretty big, but man it is once nice watch. I really think it needs to be on a steel bracelet.

That's a beautiful one. If I didn't already have a couple of blue dial watches I probably would've ended up on that one, went with black. I also have ~9 inch wrists so size-wise fits perfectly. And I am going with both bracelet and strap so I'll be able to swap them out depending on what I'm feeling, definitely agree that it needs a bracelet.

This is the coolest thing I鈥檝e seen all day.
What is the provenance?
My better half picked it up from a jewelry store that was closing. Sold it for $600? I think.

The thinnest chrono that鈥檚 ever graced my wrist and seen in my life. The bracelet on this beauty is the most comfortable that I own. It鈥檚 almost two decades old and puts many brands to shame, even today. Every ounce of it is quality. The icing on the cake is that it鈥檚 dead accurate as well.
