I recently acquired this 260th Anniversary model. Although I don't need a dress watch, I wanted the Moon-Phase complication and my wife liked the guilloche dial. The wife liked part made this all possible. I've since ordered new Blancpain strap in brown to go with the Rose Gold case.
Having just read a great write-up on a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe, I was inspired to post a picture of my Blancpain Rattrapante (Cal. 1186). I'm a big fan of BP.
And so i thought: are there other Blancpain fans on this forum? Post pictures of your BP, please.
PS. I am also an Omega fan, obviously.
They are making pieces for god fearing people as well 😁 !
Their model at this link shows a Hindu god Ganesha - https://www.blancpain.com/en/villeret/shakudo-6615-3615-55b

Have never seen this before but looks quite nice. Reminds me of the vintage enamel dials.
Newest acquisition. One problem the bezel needs to be put on it’s at the watch maker now. The inner groove has worn quite a bit so the clip is having a hard time holding the bezel on. But with fingers crossed I’m hoping for some magic to happen. But anyway here is a few pics. Please let me know what y’all think. TY
