This is a lovely looking watch!
I actually bought one in 1996 but much to my dissatisfaction, it kept really bad time ie a daily tolerance in excess of ten seconds a day. In fact, most Blancpains from the 90s (pre Swatch group ownership) did not keep good time despite its long and illustrious city. I owned three Blancpains in the 90s as I loved their dial and discreet Arabic numerals. I contacted the then Sales Director who had personally sold me one of my three Blancpains and he too admitted they had an issue with daily tolerance. So if you do not mind having a tourbillon that is not particularly accurate,then, this is a lovely looking watch to have. But as we all know, the tourbillon was designed to overcome gravitational issues and make the watch more accurate which unfortunately is not reflected in the Blancpain.

Hello
Clever thoughts
We can't talk about prices here (forum rules) so I won't comment your possible trade
No worries 😉
I think the BP tourbillon is just exquisite, but IMO the size would now be a challenge for me - which is a shame and it may well change again within our generation. I have certainly moved
Please do it!!
Not bothered by size at all
Thanks ! I will go for it so just need to find out the perfect piece, not too expensive and with B&P !
This is a lovely looking watch!
