Blancpain: sail strap

hi there, i thought the sail strap would be perfect but for me it did not last a year. it was a very short time. however this may have been due to a lack of proper care/maintenance. i have still not resolved the issue and totally agree with the general sentiment that the milanese is "not working". i

Blancpain: thanks for your comments

hi i have been working on this. i haven't come up with much. it is important that the solution is waterproof and hence all the very nice straps one can get are out (lots of custom options even for the difficult width of 23mm). after considering a bunch of solutions i realise that it doesn't get much

Blancpain: i tend to agree it is not ideal

that breitling photo is great. and whilst my strap works very well (function) i agree it doesn't look ideal. tell truth with the weight of the watch it also isn't as comfortable as say the JB champion milanese with my speedmaster (a much lighter watch). i'd be interested to hear what your (or others

Blancpain: this is the post that tipped the scales for me

it was based on this "review" in hindsight, that the momentum built to where it was not a matter of if i would own the FF but when. hopefully it will arrive soon and then i can consider whether it would also be my desert island watch. i really like my hulk, in fact more so lately for some reason. bu

Blancpain: thank you for your reply

i really appreciate you replying to my question and for giving me some encouragement. the best encouragement however is that you sent it in after 6 years simply because you wanted to not because you needed to. it is very nice to have a watch one can rely on and that one feels can take whatever you t
