I am partial to the black-- I think it is more legible. The gold is probably the most legible, but I am not a gold watch guy. It's a super tough watch (now tougher because of the new silicium balance), and it ran perfectly for 15 years before it needed a service. And my old eyes are a big lover of big dates!
Blancpain Leman Big Date, 2006
So... this just came back from its first ever service. This watch was my first Serious Watch purchase, for my 40th birthday in 2006. It led to many more purchases over the years... and for the last five or so years, my wife has been mostly wearing it beca...
Indeed, it's beautiful enough to fall in love all over again!
I can see why. It's a real beauty and I am glad it's back to good shape and on your wrist. And I can see why your wife also loves it. I understand about falling in love again. In July I bought again my first watch, which I let go, but which started me ini...

These are built like tank and super robust.
My collection of BP is also stuck around that time period…. Was great the svc center managed to keep the skeleton hands without having to change them out. There is no big following of BP and I would say they are more under appreciated than anything else. ...
thanks
actually, they did replace all three hands and both crystals. the watch looks gorgeous.
A very beautiful piece indeed…
… and one might say that with some time passed since it’s discontinuation the Leman series gets better and better. Cheers Henrik
