Blancpain

Finally pulled the trigger on this baby. Been wanting it for quite awhile and the boutique finally got it in....  

Congrats. Is this the titanium case w/ ceramic coating? Looks great!

Its the full ceramic case aye that they released this year. Was tossing up between the titanium or this.

Thanks Nicholas. Any new threads you would recommend?

with the full ceramic case. Bravo and enjoy in the best of health! Cheers Robin

This new ceramic version looks super cool! I hope to see one in the flesh soon. Enjoy and please continue to share photos as time passes. All the best, Alex

Yes I will post more as the situation arises. Been thinking about getting new threads. Any recommendations?

If its strap choices, I would suggest a black or grey nubuck strap in either buffalo, or maybe even crocodile. Do you remember the Jules Verne type of straps Panerai makes? I think those would look really cool when paired to your ceramic Bathyscaphe. Oliv... 

Hi Alex. Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah I did mean watch straps aye. Yes, the JV Panerai strap does look amazing and sure will age amazingly. The first thing I did was order another NATO (Khaki) from the Tokyo boutique and sailcloth strap which they act... 

I´m sure both will look great! Keep us posted and have a great weekend, Alex

Btw, does anyone know how to replace the hardware on the NATO straps ? Can\'t figure them out. (Haven\'t probed too hard)

Hi Kour! Each bracket is hold by 2 spring bars. With the proper tool & a bit of patient, it is possible but be careful not to scratch your hardware. You know you can always bring the strap to Blancpain, they will be more than happy to do for you! Good luc...
