Return from warranty service...
Today I got the good news that my watch returned from service at Blancpain HQ. I posted about it almost a year ago and after waffling, I sent it in in January. That's not a bad turnaround, including shipping time. Anyway, initial impressions are good. I had sent the watch in because the movement had dirt on it and so did the 9 o'clock marker. From my quick macro shots and my judgements today, it seems to be in good working order. The date feels worse to quickset—there's a bit too much play in the crown and the date setting—but time setting and hand stacking looks and feels good. The movement also feels a tad smoother to wind—but that might just be in my head. The Blancpain folks kindly filled out the service card, but didn't include any daily rate information, so I'll have my watchmaker stick it on a timegrapher and tell me the good or bad news. Here are some photos—any questions or comments are welcome.
The travel case that it came in.
Service card filled out.
9 o’clock marker looking good. No dirt.
Movement looks good.
And on the wrist. Yay!

Free of charge.
Thankfully. They also warranted the work they did, which is great! The watch itself will have its warranty run out at the end of this year.
Shame it needed to go in for some work.
But glad for you it was quite a quick turnaround and more importantly that you are happy with what they did and you have your beautiful watch back. Enjoy it and wear it in good health. Marc
Thanks for the kind words, Marc.
It was unfortunate but it got sorted with no shenanigans. I'm glad when things go this smoothly, since they haven't always in past cases.
I imagine your pleasure of having it back.
And I’m glad that everything seems in order. Enjoy your beautiful watch. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, quite so!
Thanks for your kind words—heading into spring with the Bathyscaphe on the wrist...
Just so.
I was hoping to share a nice experience, maybe others will be reassured if they are in the same situation.
Three months?
Consider yourself fortunate - my Leman returned to me after eight months and the only extra service requested. was replacing the hands.
