WHAT A WATCH!! I am so happy!!
Ok, forget my countless (and completely fruitless) vows that I will not buy a watch again for a long time. I have prescribed myself a hard watch diet after buying my IWC MR in November 2019, after buying my Moser Perpetual Purity in February 2020, after b...
Thank you so much for your kind words, dear Henrik!
And yes, your threads here and your blogs outside of this forum were really helpful and kept the fire burning. Cheers Thomas

Dear Weems@8,
you cannot disturb my honeymoon with your friendly post! On the contrary: I was very happy about your lines. And yes, you are always welcome to ask me about Blancpain. But be careful: there are many here who know a lot more than I do! 😊 Cheers Thomas
I remember the excitement of buying my first BP (can it be 18 years ago?)
It's a truly mind-blowing experience, isn't it? Many Congratulations -- that watch is beautiful! Somehow I let this one get away... Cazalea ...
Thank you, cazalea
respectively Mike (?), if I remember one of the threads well? Yes, you describe it very well, it is indeed a truly mind-blowing experience… I appreciate your Ex-Half Hunter. A beautiful watch, too. I hope it wasn’t your only BP? Cheers Thomas
Congrats Thomas!!!
The Bugatti of divers in a material that reinforces its status imo . Enjoy it in the best of health! Alex
Thanks a lot, dear Alex!
Indeed, this watch in brushed red gold is really a stunner. I really longed for this FF in this special case material, and I don't regret it for a second. Cheers Thomas ...
The brushing of BP is so well done and indeed it makes red gold look amazing
Keep enjoying this amazing piece and we look forward to many more pics!
Wow! A really marvel you have there!
Thanks a lot for your compliments. I don't dare to say it, but I made these quick shots just with my simple iPhone 11. So, nothing special. And remember the pics of our Henrik. These are really stunning photos!! Cheers Thomas P.S.: This brand and especial...
Congratulations on getting this one Thomas ...
I think you made a great choice, enjoy !
Thank you, dear Captain and
“fellow addict”. 😊 The “choice” is made rather easy when you let your heart speak. This hobby resp. addiction is all about pure … emotion. I do remember that we have a similar taste when it comes to pieces that are not so … common (Zenith Pilot Montre d’A...
😊
I am very curious how my FF will behave in (my) real life. In the meantime, I've become more relaxed when it comes to accuracy. I'm no longer an accuracy freak because it took away some of my joy when a watch wasn’t performing … well. It’s a piece of art ...
I would agree with your sentiment on this and I too am learning to be relax about this. That said, having a piece of art that is on top accurate just add to the please of ownership for me...
So my perspective on accuracy changed from being a negative when not present to becoming instead an additional positive when there. So yes it is still important, but it plays a different role in my love for horology
Thank you, dear Miguel!
I still remember your “I vote for blue” in my previous thread. Did you make some wrist shots. Will you pull the trigger? Best Thomas
Thanks a lot for your warm-hearted post, my dear friend!
I appreciate your comments very much since I like your style and admire your tasteful watch collection whenever I read your posts. I am proud to be a member of the “BP club” now. Thanks again for your kind words, Tony. Now I have to put my smartphone - an...
Thank you, dear nacelle,
also that you accompany me on my journey. By the way, I like your Pallweber 150 very much! 😊 Cheers Thomas
Wow, congrats! That is a stunning combo! The 1315 is so solid and so well finished it deserves the gold case 😁
If there was ever a dive watch that could look at home in gold it is this one, really special IMHO.
Thank you, Fastwong!
Yes, RG seems to be a great combo. And this satin brushed case really … glows in soft light. You can see it even on my poor iPhone pics from this evening. Cheers Thomas ...
Nice Bronze FF :)
Just kidding, what a stunner! I almost got a steel one 10 years ago, back then the price difference between the 8 day luminor, the new cartier diver and the FF wasnt that big. I really wanted a handwound movement and ended with the panerai but the FF was ...
You should try a FF again.
I really love the presence, robustness and uniqueness of Panerai. But this BP is a completely different world of watchmaking. Best Thomas
Congratulations on getting this beautiful piece!
i think the rose gold goes very well with the blue dial, bezel and strap.
Thank you, dear GM!
The word “ravishing” is pretty apt. I am really blown away with this watch. Cheers Thomas
Congrats!! Looks amazing on you!
I recently picked up this beauty!! Wear it in best health!! ...
Aaaaahhh…. the Grande Date!
This is a great watch! I like the satin-brushed titanium case very much. And the the position of the big date window at 6. Together with the removed applied numerals at 3 and 9 this leads to a great balance on the dial. Best Thomas
Dear Galen, thank you for your kind words and your great feedback!
I have to admit that I'm still in the honeymoon phase. It even goes so far that I took the watch with me to the office today, because I don’t want to part with it after a few days at the lake. I don't normally wear colored gold watches in the office. I ha...
Thomas you definitely have to make an exception.
That watch is pure class. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I have never really known anything about Blancpain. I will be sure to do some research on The brand. In the past many years I’ve been somewhat of a Patek fan boy.. And I am sorry...
You are really very nice and your post gives me great pleasure!
In my humble opinion you can't avoid brands like ALS or Blancpain and many independents if you value high manufacturing artistry combined with a comprehensible price-performance ratio. I have learned that these untrodden paths (where the market is not yet...
I completely agree Thomas. I am a watch enthusiast and watch lover.
I am not an investor in watches whatsoever. I buy watches for the mechanical artistry and pure visual pleasure. My brother likes boats and enjoys buying them. I always make this comparison. I spend almost as much on a few watches as he does on a boat yet ...
I completely understand your attitude, Galen.
Watches are just “things” but can be an essential part of your life. I cannot imagine leaving the house without a watch on my wrist. So it is essential for me to just wear what I love and like and not what others might see as a good investment. UN is also...
