I can confirm that this is in fact the coolest blancpain ever, I have the same watch but the seconds hand is not red (I’m not sure if mine is correct or your is) I sent it to blancpain Switzerland for a rather expensive service and they informed me that it is authentic. However I have struggled to value the watch as they have no comparable watch records as they were destroyed in a fire. Currently I have the watch insured for £12,000 as it can only be compared to a replacement ff but I fear due to the rarity of this watch that I may have it under valued. if you have managed to gain any further information I would love to have it. I am also happy to share what I have which is a really nice service booklet with detailed pictures of the mechanism that I received back from blancpain. I hope you still have the watch, it would be good to share recent pictures. I have attached a couple of pictures of mine to this message. (Offers welcome)

It is always a pleasure to welcome a FF Fan! I never saw this FF before, so I don't know what to say about it. I fear your doubts are legitim, on this one. Looking forward to hear more from you, Best. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 201...

Good spot Amanco, Your right, I was just excited to find an image of one similar to my authenticated one as I have never seen another one, seems similar in every other way though, perhaps someone has refurbished the dial in the original post one, blancpai...
