The steel PC chrono of your friend

is a wonderful specimen.
Blancpain has so much to offer.
What I always liked about their complicated watches are their unconventional solutions, for example that the correctors are integrated under the lugs and don’t “destroy” the case.
Your blue dialed iteration would be my preferred choice.
It looks absolutely timeless (perhaps except the case size, but the trend develops to smaller cases again anyway).
If I would detect this watch in a shopping window today I wouldn’t think of an “old watch design”.
