New arrival! My first Blancpain!!
I finally got my first Blancpain. My last 3 watch additions have been Glashutte Originals, but I just couldn't resist adding this one. I had always had a sweet spot for the Blancpain flyback grande date, but once I saw the Peking to Paris version and compared it side-by-side with the original, I was just drawn to the Peking to Paris red version. I usually don't go for commemorative watches, but the more I learned about the race, the more the watch drew me in. At first, I felt the rotor looked somewhat "loud" but when I realized it was the logo for the race, then to me it was the appropriate rotor for this watch.
I believe this is a new type deployant clasp which looks like a tang buckle from the outside (completely different from the regular flyback grande date's deployant clasp).
Thanks for looking!
