Blancpain

Playing around with my new sweetheart, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique Red Gold with Blue Ceramic Dial, in different light conditions. Just with my iPhone. So please forgive me for not being at the level of Nico, Henrik, Jocke and many other watch...

Honoured my friend! I think it fits it very well. Have a great one! Alex

I am looking forward to your wrist shots, Especially of the "blue flingué" aka "La Coquille". Cheers Thomas
