Nice work

Please post some pics of the all black FF when you receive it

Will indeed - rather annoyingly the boutique received my piece the day after I had visited

I'm now 2000-miles away and trying to arrange a return visit

The FF strap is really nice...it looks "tactical" (if you know what I mean) but also rich. I'm wondering if Rolex would ever make a strap like that for their Subs.

Well the WG/Blue model is still showing on the Blancpain website, so maybe they are not all sold yet? Could be worth inquiring...

Congrats in advance, please post LOTS of pics

I predict this will be the most hit-up non-Rolex thread as a result

I am quite envious, please wear it in good health
and enjoy the heck out of it!

What is MSRP on the BN?
I haven't seen it anywhere??

xbox · 24 February 2009, 01:23 PM

Well I got it!

DLC - well the case is a deep jet black finish, which surprised me after seeing the translucent PVD on a number of alternatives.

The SS version looks bigger, side by side, and is still a seriously fine looking watch. I did actually have to think about it, for it's honesty and true to roots form. The thing was also luming like crazy, while the DK just sat there in full on stealth mode!

Will post some pics soon.

Congratulations xbox

Can't wait to see some shots of that beauty...

Cheers

The black knight is nice but I would go the original all the way!

xbox · 27 February 2009, 10:04 PM

The SS is simply a classic - I just wanted a black watch.

Can see myself going for either the White Gold or Red Gold in the near future

Thanks for sharing. Look forward to pics too. No surprise the lume impresses. After Rolex, nothing doesn't.

Would you mind sharing the cost with us. I'm still hunting for one via my local AD and he hasn't even gotten that info to me yet.

Pics up in a new thread.

Regarding price, if I recall correctly after numerous phone calls - USD12,500, EUR9,500 and finally GBP8,000 with a price rise imminent in the UK, before they expect any stock!

Wrist shot? How about on Brad Pitt?
