You're killing me :)))))

By: aperna : July 15th, 2024-21:41

I know, I know, my good Dr. I am killing myself too. ;)

By: amanico : July 15th, 2024-21:43

I prefer this ....

By: AuHavrePro : July 15th, 2024-21:43

to any of the modern ones!

Me too!

By: amanico : July 15th, 2024-21:43

More refinement, more elegance imo....

By: AuHavrePro : July 15th, 2024-21:48

More consistent, less luxurious.

By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-05:31

Definitely less luxurious!

By: AuHavrePro : July 16th, 2024-05:47

More tool watch, as it is supposed to be.

By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-10:06

A killer piece!

By: Champthekid : July 15th, 2024-21:48

It really is.

By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-05:35

Wow milspec. Very cool.

By: gary_g : July 15th, 2024-22:23

I love the way it developed patina.

By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-05:36

Beautiful 😍 would be great to dig up the history...

By: SALMANPK : July 15th, 2024-22:36

Like with Vintage Panerais, officers who wore it, period photos etc.

Most probably they got them through the Green Berets with who they trained in the 60s.

By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-05:37

Super Cool! Wow so Green Beret issued and then given to the Pakistan Army?

By: SALMANPK : July 16th, 2024-08:43

Or they give them the details of Allen Tornek...

By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-10:06

One of my all time favorites

By: MiguelFlash : July 16th, 2024-02:30

Old school awesomeness!

Well said!

By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-05:37

Is that your new addition?

By: Arronax : July 16th, 2024-03:19

A wonderful example, the mix of milspec brutal use and case and dial elegance is very appealing!

No, with me since 2009.

By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-05:31

The patina is just perfect! Not too much !🤩

By: netwatches : July 16th, 2024-08:37

As it should be. ;)

By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-10:07

A slider

By: Artago : July 16th, 2024-11:13

Quite like their bezel approach. From my perspective it is optimised for surface/field, reducing the risk of the watch hooking obstacles (or parachute lines for that matter). From my limited knowledge there are rather few neo vintage and hardly any (?) pr...

The Green Berets had something like this:

...

Ahh.... this is great, love it!

By: Artago : July 16th, 2024-21:53

Thanks! Might be the photos playing with my perspective, but it seems to me that the Pakistani iteration has slightly smaller indices and more narrow hands which would make the reading a tad sharper? Probably not, but have they reduced the profile of the ...

I think it is due to the angle and the different perspective.

By: amanico : July 17th, 2024-03:47

Suspected that,

By: Artago : July 18th, 2024-10:24

Anyway, much obliged for the enlightening, I wasn`t aware that Blancpain performed that level of specialisation/optimisation of the Milspec. Grail.

Yes, Grail!

By: amanico : July 18th, 2024-10:32

That is a real stunner!

By: clemens m : July 16th, 2024-12:22

I am curious what the 2-colored dot above the 6 o clock marker is for... Moisture indicator?

Yep!

By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-20:01

Vintage FF: One of the coolest watches ever made. In any variant! This one is a killer... and in a great shot. The FF also looks superb with any set of straps. A true classic!! Abrazos mi amigo Nicolas!

Mil gracias, amigo Abel.
