Blancpain

I am considering buying a blue Blancpain FF, either in titanium or steel. However, when browsing BP’s site I just found this picture of what appears to be a new FF. Does anyone have any further info? I like the CB vibe they have going on here with the num...  

It was posted here (and on their IG). www.watchprosite.com I'm not so keen on this vivid blue, the transparent dial (or maybe mother of pearl?) or the numerals around the dial or bezel font. I hope there are others! I'm also eyeing a Ti FF...but w... 

This does look a lot smaller than the 45mm the titanium comes in. Well let’s wait and see.

I like most of their previous, navy blues but this blue is too vivid and the numerals make the dial too busy. If BP do bring out a < 41mm FF, I hope they will eventually bring out a new, hacking, 4Hz movement too, not based on the 1150/1151 series.

It lost much of the FF DNA

is hand-finished similar to Breguet’s guilloché?

Not sure if it is in production still though

It may sway me, again!

Have had no luck looking online so far.

and had it bought from Blancpain’s own boutique, I can confirm that it is. The information comes from the factory and people I trust a lot.

Now it’s dial vs weight + caseback. And perhaps the flinque only being available used.
