Blancpain

I just received back from its first service in 6 years my FF and, as experienced before, Blancpain has done a top job (it remains the best experience compared to any other manufacture). As part of the service, I was provided a new strap, so I chose to go ...

And, oooh, yes, I see it as a Classic to be, too. Without any doubt. Best, Nicolas
