Blancpain

I had the pleasure to see the new watch in real life and I think it is one of those examples where reality differs significantly from the official renderings. Reference 5000-1210 reacts lively with different light conditions, these photos hopefully show t...  

Other than the new dial, is there any difference compared to the first iteration? I remember the bezel was very stiff and not very pleasant to use.

… but there may be slight differences between timepieces and there of course differences between individual preferences.

the dial texture makes this a very alluring version. (I'd just love a no-date version of this!) Cheers Marc

I assume unchanged at 43mm? If so, still too big for me unfortunately.

I especially love the grey Nato strap. Thanks for posting!

Great photos. Judging by some pictures the dial looks a little bit like the grey dial in the first series In real live its probably very different Mine is now 6-7 years older and I wear it very often.

If not for that date, I would jump on it. The colors are completely my taste.

The dial changes from grey to taupe to brown. Very nice. Didn’t like the sailcloth strap colour though but you could swap that for a proper grey one.
