Dear Thomas, being taken by surprise and building instant emotional response...

... is a wonderful experience, isnโt it ๐
You have clearly picked a very beautiful novelty introduced by Blancpain earlier this year. The biggest resonance on the Villeret Quantieme Perpetuel has been on the stainless steel version, I think the rose gold deserves it as well.
Will has already mentioned the under-lug-correctors, which indeed are a great solution, both aesthetically and handling wise.
Hereโs a photo I took one week ago which you probably have already seen:
Now, I still cannot keep myself from making the choice a little more difficult... ๐
Since you are looking for a Perpetual Calendar I suggest you also look at the 42mm Blancpain Villeret Quantieme Perpetuel 8 Jours:
Itโs grand feu enamel dial adds a lot to the character of this beauty, and the eight day movement is one step higher in the Blancpain world, with exceptional finishing also on the dial side of the calibre:

Keep us posted on how your journey continues, please!
Cheers
Henrik

Yesterday I visited my AD to pick up my ordered new strap for my PP 5146G. It was the wrong colour. The delivery time for the correct strap would be 3 - 4 months (sic!). I declined with thanks and ordered a strap from another brand. Handmade in top qualit...
Thanks a lot for your fast response, Will!

Your experience is very helpful for me. Your Quantieme Complet looks marvelous. Especially the third picture is fantastic! Have you sold your other Blancpains? Thank you again, Thomas
Ridiculous

brand premiums AND ridiculous (artificial inflated?) waiting times. ๐ Yes, Blancpain seems to be something very special and for sure no second choice! All the best, Thomas
That is a watch with a lot of character

I too will be interested to hear more about the aftersales service as for me that is more important than the initial purchase. I read here some time ago about a problem with the service of a Fifty Fathoms, not sure how common that is. Blacpain seems like ...
Totally agree!

In this anachronistic field of high emotional desires and decisions the overall experience is of fundamental importance! Some brands have recognized this, some not. โบ๏ธ Best, Thomas
Dear Henrik, yes that's what

... when Blancpain released a number of 42-44mm Villeret timepieces with 8 day calibres and Grand Feu enamel dials, both black and white. The new 40mm Villeret in steel is indeed more sober due to the plain white dial, whereas the rose gold naturally carr...

Yesterday I had the chance to visit my AD between two appointments in order to have a look at the Villeret Quantieme Perpetuel in RG. The watch felt quite big on the wrist. Bigger than for example the 40mm case of my DD40 I wore at this day. Due to narrow...
Indeed, dear Nico!

A good alternative. First choice. And thank you for your comment. Do you remember how long the repair works took? And when did the problem occur? Shortly after your purchase? Cheers, Thomas
