Wow!
I didn't know you got my ex Nr 7!!!

Will open my eyes for you.
Best,
Nicolas

Yes, I did in spring 2010. It is in good hands I hope I did a total overhaul at Blancpain early in 2011 and it is like new ever since. All my other watches, since I got this one and the 45mm (strap) version in 2008, have become sleepers FF's are addictive...
