Hello dear friends! I’m happy to share this watch captured just a couple of days. The Blancpain FF has been haunting my horological soul for many many long years and last week I had the unexpected chance to get this piece. I know the most coveted variants...  

Muchas Gracias amigo Nicolas!!

A piece of history and wonderful addition to your collection. New is nice, as we know, but these vintage pieces, especially an older FF Aqua Lung like this, are quite special.

Thanks a lot for your kind comments John!

Agree with your thoughts. I already own the Limited Mil Specs version offered just a few years ago which I love so much. It has a 40 mm case and is very charming on the wrist. I agree it would be wonderful if BP would offer a new model with a case shape a...
