Untill the arrival of the Reveil ......................
Nice presentation of a nice watch, Flamenco.
Sober, but complete watch!
It is quite hard to find the good compromise between being simple but complete, without being busy.
This watch is a good evidence that it is possible!
Thanks for your post, my friend.

Thanks for your kind words
Yes indeed, simple but not over the top. IMO, Blancpain tends to excel at that. Taking the Air Command as an example, an elegant yet sporty Chrono that does not over complicated and over crowd the dial.
Also, I have always loved the casework on Blancpain watches. The attention to details is amazing !
Btw, my excuse for the Leman was that I do not at the point have a Day/night in my collection.
Erratum
Just realised a mistake in the specifications list. Under calendar, it should really say "Day/Night" and not "Moonphase".
My apologies.
Wow!
I love the "saucepan" case ! I did not discover this forum until end of 2012 so apologies for the delay !
