โฆ and leaves me no choice ๐
The 2005 Blancpain Flyback Split Second AโToute Vitesse, reference 2086FA-1130, will likely stand the test of time and become a true classic. Cult status may very well be already established, at least for me ๐

Dear count, Full agreement - was unsure at beginning but the SD43 had been growing on me. The red detailing is charming and reminiscent of past reds โฆ and the slightly bigger size makes it more of a tool and less dress-y IMHO Best, Jerome
Three great vintage reissue choicesโฆ

That will most likely become classics in their own right, and the Traditionelle, which is one of those modern designs likely to become future classics ๐๐ป๐๐ป
