Two years worth of consideration and contemplation ..Finally it’s here !

 
 By: aboen : March 11th, 2011-21:02

I’ve been going back and forth on this Blancpain FF, not sure if I dig it in photo’s but it always commands my attention when perusing AD’s and sings to me loudly when I try it on.

My objective was to find a sporty watch with an elegant and refined feel, I think I found it in this Blancpain FF, I think its truly a watch you can dress up or down.

Couldn’t be happier with my decision ...What a watch !

Thanks

Drew

Sorry for the quick and dirty iPhone photo




i to have been mulling on this watch

photos do not do the watch any justice as its far nicer in the flesh. I think its the classiest divers watch out there at the moment. congrats on the purchase.

Excellent choice, my friend.

Now, your NSA has a prestigious sister, to play with.

Don't tell me you sold your NSA....

Best, my friend.

Nicolas.

Nope...NSA is a keeper :-)

Love runs deep with the NSA plus it's so much fun with all the strap possibilties smile

I'm looking to dress up my FF with some sort of strap combo...not sure what yet though ??

A strap ala Drew? :)

The thing with the FF is that it looks  " more dressy " than the NSA... Less toolwatch.

For that reason, I would choose a strap which would dress it down, a bit.

Best,

Nicolas, happy to know that you kept the NSA.

 

I know what your saying...

but honestly I bought this watch to wear as a dressier type sports watch...one that I could wear out on a date night with the wife and not look too stealthy or militant.

In my mind I can't pull off a true dress watch and really have no reason to own one since I never wear a suit and rarely wear long sleeves shirts, so this watch would fit in perfectly with my dress up style….Killer jeans, great shirt ,awesome pair of boots and my new supremely refined and sporty BP FF smile  

I like the sound of "strap ala Drew" but I thinking of something a little more refined smile

Drew

Looking forward to seeing your next creation! :) [nt]

Nice choice. Iove the FF quite a bit. I don't find it as versatile as a Submariner, mainly due to it's massive volumes, but it is a unique beast. Enojoy! Best wishes,

Huge congrats, Drew!

Looks great on your wrist!

And fits right in to your collection of black dialled divers!
