? BP reliability
Stork5, good luck with your new purchase. I've been looking at watches for a while and BP Leman GMT was one of my choices as I quite like the finish of their movements for a reasonable price. However, after reading your post, it scares me to know how much problems you've experienced. Has anyone had any bad experience with their Leman movements? I recently bought a GP vintage 1945 chrono and loved it. I'm thinking of selling my 6-years-old B&M Capeland S chrono (which has been very reliable) for another sport watch for daily wear in a year or so. Up until now Leman GMT has been one of five I like. I need some help with my decision making.
we are devastated!
I came to this forum because I need an advise. I bought the first Leman 2360 for my wife in December 2005. That watch stopped after two weeks. The shop exchanged it for another - that watch stopped 24 hours later. The watchmaker in the shop examined both ...

we are devasted
I have no doubt that you meant well, but frankly, I find it a bit upsetting when I am reading, “it is hard to believe…” or when people tell us that it might be our fault. It might, but it is not. We own many watches, our weakness, from the best shops and ...
Sorry for presuming...
Excuse my presumptions, and it seems that you have had exceptionally bad luck with this model and ought best find something else. I did hear that some of the earlier men's 34 mm moonphase models were "problematic" but my source never explained what exactl...

Hello, Magnus, I posted a message to you yesterday, but I am not very experienced with message boards and may have made a mistake. Did you receive it?
My Experiences
I can understand how frustrated you are. I can only speak from my personal experiences. I am collecting Blancpain watches since 1999 due to its high quality and exclusive product in particularly of its movements. So far I have bought 6 Blanpcain watches f...
to YMA
I am sorry; I do not want to be impolite, but after reading your posting I doubt that you can understand how frustrated we are. We asked for helpful comments or advise and not for panegyrics. I am sure Blancpain will be very grateful for your advertisemen...
Are you really looking for advice?
It seems to me that you want support from others that Blancpain watches should be avoided because of your unfortunate experience? In your original post you asked "Does anybody come across a problem like this?", the answer based on my experiences had alrea...
