Blancpain

Today I saw the new L-Evolution in person at the New York boutique. I went in to have a screw replaced on the strap of my Leman 40mm Flyback Chrono. First let me say that it has been my experience that the New York boutique is extremely helpful and profes... 

Hello and Welcome! Congrats on your first post on the forums! " Also, since Moser is only sold through one AD in the US... " Actually there are more than one AD in the US. It used to be only found in NY, but then here in Los Angeles (Glendale), and now La... 

MW thank you for your quick response. Thanks also for your information. I was unaware that Moser had other US ADs outside of the one in New York. To be clear I do like the Moser watches, I just did not have that little feeling which says you have to own a... 

Sometimes certain watches just speak to you and it seems the Evo might be in your near future! Did you find the large numbers to your liking? -MW

MW yes strangely I did find them to my liking, whereas in the pictures they distracted. What I am still grappling with is the 43.5 mm size. I know a lot of people profess to have small wrists, but trust me I do really have small wrists, and the 43.5 is tr... 

Well, my friend what you ask is very tough, because you're playing against the very first golden rule: " Buy what YOU love, don't listen to other's opinion, because at the end the Other won't be the one to wear YOUR watch, nor pay it. " On the L Evo, I re... 

and I have to confess that I felt the same when I saw the press pics first time: What are they thinking in Paudex/Le Brassus? But having inspected them intensively in Basel, I have to admit that I changed my mind entirely. The watches are very fresh, spor... 

Magnus thank you for that insight. I think the way you described this new series is perfect. You captured my feelings about the watch i.e. fresh and sporty, and perfect for my lifestyle. I also think this watch is a great piece or horology thank to the ne... 

would you say that is is superior to VC Quai de L'Ile? Cheers

It is like with cars. I don't know about you people but everytime a new model car enters the market I tend to like the old model better. And then you start seeing it around more and more and from a certain moment you cannot imagine that you ever disliked ... 

I have experienced your dilemma many times. For many years, every Lange watch I saw in a photo was "hate at first sight". I just didn't get it. I could tick down the list--the Lange 1, the 1815 Moon Phase, the Anniversary, and on and on. Then I would get ... 

there are times where the watch looks blunt in photos and great in person/on wrist Well said Cheers

I went 600km by train to get a FPJ (40mm) and when I put it on my wrist all the "butterflies in my stomach" disappeared. Cheers Oliver

can also be true. Sad but true Cheers

There have been quite a number of watches whose photos excited me, then in the shop, holding the piece, the dream died. So I guess it boils down to one thing--what really counts is the way the watch speaks to you when you hold the actual piece in hand. Ph... 

I did not like it due to the large numbers. However I will wait to judge it when I see it in metal- one has to be fair to a great brand as Blancpain Cheers

Just to be clear I was told by the salespeople that the production model will have slightly smaller numbers. Delivery is scheduled for November.

I really appreciate all the comments. I think I am going to try and swing by the shop again before I return hope to try on the watch one more time just to be sure about the feel.
